\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Listen to this. This is from the AP, and they\u2019re mad about this. The NRA has found a Justice Department memo, and they are using it to accuse the Obama administration of wanting to commandeer your guns. They are furious here in this AP story.<\/p>\n

“The National Rifle Association is using a Justice Department memo it obtained to argue in ads that the Obama [regime] believes its gun control plans won\u2019t work unless the government seizes firearms and requires national gun registration…” Now, when everybody makes that accusation, what happens? If you, for example, say, “The regime wants to take your guns,” there are catcalls of protest, howls of protest, and you are accused of being a conspiracy kook.<\/p>\n

They say, “Nobody\u2019s ever suggested that! What are you talking about? Nobody wants to take your guns!” I think it\u2019s even happened to me. What happened is, the NRA managed to get their hands on a DOJ (Department of Justice) memo that undercuts all of these claims that the regime does not want to get hold of your guns. The AP makes it clear that the only way Obama will get what he wants is through registration and eventually banning guns. That\u2019s what the memo says.<\/p>\n

The NRA has found it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The AP is furious at the NRA for having found the memo and using it now. The AP even says, quote, “The NRA\u2019s assertion and its obtaining of the memo in the first place underscore the no-holds-barred battle under way as Washington\u2019s fight over gun restrictions heats up.” Now, isn\u2019t this what American journalists used to do before the work began to exclusively represent the Democrat Party? <\/p>\n

It used to be that if memos like this existed, if there were a secret memo that basically said the purpose of gun registration was to eventually be able to ban them, if there was such a memo, wouldn\u2019t the media be the ones to find that memo, and wouldn\u2019t the media win a Pulitzer for doing so? Speaking truth to power and all of that gibberish. <\/p>\n

Well, now it don\u2019t work that way anymore. The media helps regimes hide such memos. The NRA got its hand on the memo and now the NRA is the bad guy. The AP is outraged that this crime researcher had the temerity to question Obama on his gun proposals. And never mind that this crime researcher at the NRA is actually the acting director of the National Institute of Justice. That\u2019s the Department of Justice research arm. He had previously been with the Rand corporation. He studied criminal justice issues. He\u2019s got a PhD in statistics. This guy found the memo. <\/p>\n

The AP is essentially saying, “Who the hell is this guy to question Obama\u2019s expertise on guns? Who is this guy to question Obama\u2019s expertise on crime?” Because Obama\u2019s the expert in everything. He\u2019s the expert on health care. He\u2019s the expert on jobs. He\u2019s the expert on drugs. He\u2019s the expert manufacturing and selling them. He\u2019s the expert on everything. Nobody in any of these industries knows anything compared to what Obama knows. And nobody in these industries cares as much as Obama does. He\u2019s the expert on health care. He\u2019s the expert on health insurance. He\u2019s the expert on hospitals and how to run them. He\u2019s the expert in determining who should get treated medically and who shouldn\u2019t be. <\/p>\n

The point is the NRA has this crime researcher that found this memo, and the memo undercuts all of Obama\u2019s claims. The memo makes it clear that the only way the government will get what they want is through registration and eventually banning guns. It\u2019s a memo that spells out current policy about guns and the policy is X. And what the memo points out is the only way to get to X is to take people\u2019s guns from them. You start by registering every damn one of them. It\u2019s one of these internal memos, government bureaucrat says, “Look, we eventually want to make having a gun illegal, how do we do it with the Second Amendment?”<\/p>\n
