My father died in 1992, but he must have been looking into a crystal ball.<\/p>\n<p>Obama is the poster boy for saying one thing \u2013 and then doing exactly the opposite.\u00a0 It all sounds so good, until you realize he lies\u2026about everything. He promised to cut the deficit in half, instead he increased it dramatically. He promised to cut health insurance premiums by $2,500 per family, instead they increased by over $3,000 per family.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed to be a friend of oil drilling yet only days after the election he banned oil drilling on over one million prime acres in the American West. He called Bush reckless for increasing the debt by $4 trillion in eight years, then increased it by $6 trillion in only\u00a0four years.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed Obamacare would reduce the national debt, yet studies using government accounting prove it will increase the debt by as much as $17 trillion. Obama\u2019s nose should look like Pinocchio.<\/p>\n<p>But, this should come as no surprise. Obama\u2019s hero was Saul Alinsky who counseled his Marxist followers that \u201cthe ends justify the means.\u201d In other words lying to advance the cause of communism, equality and social justice is justified. \u00a0Alinsky is the author who dedicated Obama\u2019s favorite book \u201cRules for Radicals\u201d to Lucifer (the devil). Unfortunately, trusting Obama is like making a deal with the devil.<\/p>\n<p>Obama says he \u201csupports the Second Amendment and doesn\u2019t want to take our guns away.\u201d He only wants to protect \u201cthe children.\u201d What a guy! He wants to protect your children with \u201cGun Free Zones\u201d while his children attend an exclusive private school protected by the Secret Service. He wants your place of business to be disarmed, while he\u2019s protected by armed agents.<\/p>\n<p>He wants to ban assault rifles, while Homeland Security stocks up on assault rifles, armored vehicles, and 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point bullets- the kind that explode in your body upon impact. That\u2019s enough for a 20-year war. http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/ralphbenko\/2013\/03\/11\/1-6-billion-rounds-of-ammo-for-homeland-security-its-time-for-a-national-conversation\/<\/p>\n<p>The question is- with whom?<\/p>\n<p>Is Obama perhaps worried that the inevitable economic collapse produced by his radical spending and debt policies will result in unrest, anarchy and revolution in the streets? Are these 1.6 billion bullets aimed squarely at American citizens?<\/p>\n<p>Obama says he\u2019s being \u201creasonable\u201d and \u201cmoderate,\u201d only looking to stop mentally ill people from getting guns. Think about that. We know that Obama says one thing and does another (just as my father warned), so what is his real goal?<\/p>\n<p>Obama is smart and devious. He knows banning guns is a losing argument in America. So he claims to support guns, while plotting to take our guns away. How? First, by appointing justices to the Supreme Court who are dedicated to overturning the Second Amendment. He\u2019s done that with Justices Sotomayor and Kagan. He\u2019ll soon have the opportunity to appoint one or two more. Then, our gun rights are gone.<\/p>\n<p>But he has more devious plans straight from the Alinsky communist playbook. You don\u2019t need to ban guns to disarm the citizens, just tax the bullets to the point they\u2019re unaffordable. Or order Homeland Security to buy so many billions of rounds that drastic shortages are created. Voila- No bullets for the citizens\u2019 guns.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve saved the best for last. \u201cMental illness\u201d is the issue Obama will use to disarm American citizens. New York is leading the way. Citizens in New York who have been prescribed anti-depressants are now having their guns confiscated. Think about that. We are not talking about people who have criminal records, or who have been committed. Yet their guns are being confiscated. \u00a0And here\u2019s another question:\u00a0 how do the police know you\u2019ve been prescribed these drugs? Aren\u2019t our rights to privacy being violated?<\/p>\n<p>With Obama and his socialist Nanny State collective there is always a secret clause or technicality buried inside 1000 or 2000 pages, written in \u201clawyer-ease.\u201d Inside the federal HIPAA policy (Privacy Rule) is a clause, \u201cprovide and promote high quality health care to protect the public\u2019s health and well being.\u201d Obama and his cronies apparently believe they can use that clause \u201cto protect the public\u2019s well being\u201d to require notification of prescriptions for anti-depressants and then order immediate confiscation of their guns.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the military. Many vets coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan have suffered some level of stress, fear, depression and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress syndrome). Aren\u2019t they encouraged by their superiors to report their problems and seek help? Now it\u2019s being used against them.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been contacted by the mother of a soldier who saw his best friend\u2019s legs blown off. He suffered a brain injury himself in that same IED explosion. He took meds for a year while recovering from his brain trauma.<\/p>\n<p>Now, healed, healthy, and ready to re-enter civilian life with a job offer as an armed bodyguard, the army has informed him he is banned from ever owning a gun because of his PTSD.<\/p>\n<p>Is this Obama\u2019s new scam? Obama and his team of gun grabbers have figured out a way to legally disarm the bravest group of gun owners in the country- returning veterans. These people are the most trained and most likely to own guns. Yet, if they are treated for PTSD, Obama is stripping them of their Second Amendment rights. Nice way to treat our heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Obama and his socialist cabal cannot be trusted. Watch what he does, not what he says. Don\u2019t agree? Perhaps you should check with Austin, Texas Democratic City Councilman Mike Martinez who stated matter-of-factly during a speech last week that the Obama long-term agenda is a total firearms ban. Or the Democratic gun control bill just proposed in the California State Senate that allows government confiscation of guns and demands a special permit for anyone to buy ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>As I explain in my new book, \u201cThe Ultimate Obama Survival Guide\u201d our only recourse is to have a plan for protecting your guns and ammo, for the type of guns needed to protect your family in case of unrest due to economic collapse, and real-world advice on how to turn your home into a fortress.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need it. The endgame is clear. You can see Saul Alinsky\u2019s fingerprints all over Obama\u2019s vision. He\u2019s coming for your guns.<\/p>\n<p>You can bet on it.<\/p>\n<p>Wayne Allyn Root is a Capitalist Evangelist, serial entrepreneur, and Libertarian-conservative media commentator.
