Flashback: Paul Ryan worried about Obama 2nd term gun control

Dec. 18, 2012 5:16pm

One month before the general election, the liberal blogosphere mocked then-GOP vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan after he suggested President Obama would pursue stricter gun control in a second term. And while no one could’ve predicted last week’s tragic shooting in Connecticut, Ryan may have correctly predicted Obama’s plans for more gun control.

In October, Ryan told Outdoor Life:

RYAN: What I worry about as a hunter, as a person who believes in the Second Amendment, as a gun owner, is knowing that President Obama – in his earlier career, prior to his presidency – was an advocate for gun control.

I worry about what his attitude will be once he never has to face voters again. And that to me is a concern just as a gun owner, that this is somebody who has a history of being hostile to the Second Amendment. He hasn’t, for political reasons I believe, done much to go after the Second Amendment, but his history, his party, lead me to be concerned about what he would be like in a second term.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

    Sadly we had millions who really didn’t care about this message either. And so here we are and it is just the beginning of more control – more loss of freedom but guess that wasn’t nearly as important as NOT having a Mormon in the whitehouse – an honest man, a decent man, a tried and true leader and one we could have been proud of.

    Any government that is afraid of its people is likely illegitimate! With growing signs of that “fear of its citizens,” the American government is showing indications of becoming a dictatorship. I first felt this after 9/11 as the Constitutionalists (myself included) began to revolt at the incursions into our freedoms. At that point, we began to see illegal searches of our properties (without warrants), and illegal wiretaps, as well as the creepy knowledge we gained from frequent news reports that our America was slipping away, only to be replaced by tyranny. The power hungry used the Jihad-inspired attacks as an excuse for the “Patriot Act.” As it turns out, it was anything but patriotic!

    With the election of 2008, and the seeming rise from nowhere of a guy named Obama — a known radical, with communist affiliations — we could feel the noose tightening around our cherished patriot-won freedoms. It did not help that he chose a plethora of “czars” to run various programs of his left-leaning agenda for “fundamentally transforming” America.

    Further, those of us actually born here resent an intruder telling us that we require “fundamental transformation.” The ONLY fundamental transformation we need is a solid determination to return to an absolute adherence to the Constitution, and within that, the 2nd Amendment’s protections.

    No, weapons are NOT a deterrent to safety within a society. They are the absolute guarantor of freedom. Guns prevent tyranny!
