Gun Control – Len Bilén's blog, a blog about faith, politics and the environment.

June 24. The word for today.

^{Psalm 116:15}Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

Our current President Joseph R. Biden Jr gave a highly anticipated speech on how to reduce crime, mostly through gun control, but also to attack the problem by using unspent Covid money. But a few of his other sayings were puzzling:

We just celebrated Juneteenth as the day the Republicans freed the Democrats slaves, and the Civil War was bloody and deadly indeed, and fought with physical guns. The Government likes to point to January 6 2021 as an armed insurrection to overthrow the government. Even though over 400 people are arrested and still held in D.C. prison on trespassing charges, none is accused of being armed with guns. The only casualty from guns is an unarmed protestor, Ashley Babbit, shot by an as of yet unidentified D.C. police. All the protestors demanded was a 12 day audit of the results in seven states to make sure all was done properly and in order. The Government should have welcomed an audit to finally lay to rest accusations of impropriety in the 2020 election.

No, the problem is much deeper, and it is spiritual. Both Republicans and Democrats are deeply flawed people, as are we all, in need of a redeemer. That is why the battle is spiritual. As the Scripture says in ^{2 Corintians 10:4}(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;).

So what are the weapons of our warfare? Ephesians 6:13-17

Yes, this battle is much bigger than gun control, bigger than Democrat versus Republican. It is a battle for good vs. evil, liberty vs. Government control of what defines freedom, anarchy vs. law and order, and most important is is a spiritual battle for the soul of every individual, the nation and the world.

Verse 89 of the Obama impeachment song. Top gun salesman of the year.

Obama has a reliable record of failures. When he advocates a certain policy and resorts to threats, the opposite occurs.

The Obama administration was going all out to see that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was defeated in the 2015 Israeli election, but the campaign of veiled threats and anonymous leaks backfired: Instead of sinking in the polls, Netanyahu rose steadily, and after someone from Obama’s “inner circle” threatened that if Israel reelected Netanyahy they would “pay a price”, Netanyahu won easily.

President Obama visited Britain in advance of the U.K. EU referendum and strongly advocated for Britain to stay in the EU, warning that if they left they would be at “the back of the queue” for a U.S. trade deal. According to polls taken just before and just after Obama’s visit, that recommendation alone lead to a 3 to 5 point uptick in favor of Brexit.advocated for Britain to stay in the EU, warning that if they left they would be at “the back of the queue” for a U.S. trade deal. According to polls taken just before and just after Obama’s visit, that recommendation alone lead to a 3 to 5 point uptick in favor of Brexit.

But nowhere is his negative charisma more evident than in the case of gun control. Every tragedy, from the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, to the Orlando Massacre the answer was always the same: Gun control. The reaction was always the opposite: A spike in gun sales. This stock chart of Smith and Wesson proves the point:

At the time of the election of Obama the stock hovered around 2. It is now around 25, a more than tenfold increase!

Bottom: A chart of gun sales:

This leads to verse 89 of the Obama impeachment song (as if sung by President Barack Hussein Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)

Legal guns must disappear

so terrorists go free and clear.

Smith and Wesson clap and cheer,

I am their top salesman of the year.

Verse 87 of the Obama Impeachment song: Radical Islam does not exist, ban guns instead.

Two days after the terrible massacre in Orlando Florida, where the assassin pledged allegiance to ISIS during the murder spree, President Obama held a press conference. He called the use of phrases like “radical Islamism” a “political distraction” and “a political talking point.”

“There’s no magic to the phrase ‘radical Islam’,” he said, addressing the Orlando massacre. “…What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?”

It was surreal to watch a commander-in-chief stand in front of the American people, just two days after the most deadly terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, and explain why he did not think it was important to tell the truth about the individuals and the ideology responsible. It is difficult to imagine how the President could more clearly have demonstrated his wilful dishonesty about the threats we face.

And he was not just dishonest—but flippantly so. None of the President’s advisers, he remarked, have ever told him, “‘Man, if you use that phrase we can really turn this thing around.’ Not once.”

After this the President began to show emotion and seemed really angry – at Republicans and their reluctance to ban guns. He devoted the rest of the speech venting his venom against anybody standing in his way, rather than consoling and supporting the anxious and grieving.

Which leads to verse 87 of the Obama Impeachment song (sung to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)

Radical Islam can’t be

Islam is peaceful, can’t you see.

Terrorists don’t bother me,

Ban all legal guns, that’s my decree.

Verse 77 of the Obama Impeachment song. Obama wept.

by SARAH PALIN 5 Jan 2016

Obama wept.

America is forced to weep over Obama’s releasing violent criminals into our communities – like the 121 illegal aliens who committed murders after they were released from custody by the Obama administration instead of being deported. And that doesn’t take into account the others we don’t know about.

The whole world weeps waiting for American leadership in these troubled times as Islamic savages commit genocide against the Christians of the Middle East and terrorize innocent people in cities across the globe.

Meanwhile, Obama wept as he blamed law-abiding patriots for the nation’s insecurity and sought to strip them of the Constitutional rights that generations of Americans shed blood to protect.

Obama wept, while we all continue to weep for our country and the civilized world. (Breitbart)

This brings us to verse 77 of the Obama Impeachment song (as if sung by President Barack Hussein Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)

Gun control: It’s true, I wept.

I proved myself to be inept.

Not a promise that I kept.

In crises I golfed or overslept!

Verse 71 of the Obama Impeachment song. Gun control, no more coal, everyone on the dole.

“The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world, and there’s some steps we could take, not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don’t happen as frequently.”— President Obama, on CBS Evening News, Dec. 2, 2015.

Is he right? Here are statistics from 12 developed countries, 10 of which have much more restrictive gun laws than the U.S. United States is in the middle of the list.

This leads to verse 71 of the Obama Impeachment song (as if sung by President Barack Hussein Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”)

All I want is Gun Control

and no more of that old King Coal.

Total power is my goal

let everyone else be on the dole.

Verse 63 of the Obama impeachment song: Obama threatens gun confiscation though executive order.

(As if sung by Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”).

Legal guns I’ll take away

so terrorists can have their sway

I will jump into the fray

You Christians, all you can do is pray.

Obama Constrained by the Constitution. Thank God!! A Limerick.

Obama Constrained by the Constitution. Thank God!!

Constitution constrains: That’s his beef,
That Obama still knows, small relief.
He once taught, as adjunct.
Constitution defunct.
Now it is: “I’m Commander In Chief”.
President Obama made a few remarks yesterday in Colorado as he celebrated the fact Colorado had passed some of the strictest gun control legislation in America, severely affecting Second Amendment rights.
He was very excited about Colorado’s extreme laws, characterizing them as “good news.”
But why Obama’s speech got attention was because he complained about being constrained by the Constitution.

Thus, Obama said:

“You hear some of these quotes: “I need a gun to protect myself from the government.”
We can’t do background checks because the government’s gonna come take my guns away.
The government’s us. These officials are elected by you. They are elected by you.
I am elected by you. I am constrained, as they are constrained, by a system that our Founders put in place.
It’s a government of and by and for the people.”

Thank God for the Constitution!!
Hitler was first appointed, then elected by the people, but the Weimar Republic did not have proper safe-guards, and so he was able to reshape the way the Republic functioned and made himself Dictator.
Our Constitution Constrains.
Thank God!!
