This to me is very amusing.
So first off they claim Obama isn't going to enact tough gun control laws, because it hasn't happened yet. He's been in office one month, doubled the nation debt, sent more troops to Afghanistan, supported loans to the big three auto makers... but he hasn't messed with guns yet in his first 4 weeks, so clearly he won't... Yeah right.
But then says...
So there's no need for us to think idiots are pushing for more gun control laws because Obama hasn't done it yet, but guns do need to be banned because no one really needs any of them.
Now if that isn't funny circular logic, I don't know what is. In effect he's saying:
"Obama isn't going to take your guns, because he hasn't, but he should, and you should not be worried about us pushing him to do so."

First, there was the big run on guns, both locally and nationally, when it was feared the Obama administration would quickly enact tougher gun legislation that would make it difficult to own guns.
Didn't happen. And doesn't figure to happen, particularly since the Supreme Court has reinforced the right of an individual to bear arms.

Semi-automatic weapons should be banned, because the "normal Joe" simply doesn't need one, for protection or anything else. But the ban has expired, and having more guns and ammo on the streets simply makes South Florida a more dangerous place, for cops and regular citizens alike.
It's time for the hysteria to stop.
BOTTOM LINE: No need for this craziness.
