John Bolton suggested Friday that Barack Obama is laying the foundation to push an ambitious gun control agenda if (when) he wins a second term.
Trying to make his background relevant to an audience of gun activists, (paranoid, pusillanimous firearm fetishists) the former ambassador to the United Nations and dark horse presidential candidate accused the administration of using its own failures in the war against Mexican drug cartels as a pretext for more gun control.

The topic is the irrational paranoia of gun fetishists, who are constantly spreading panic-stricken claims that the evil Obama is coming to take their toys away.
Here's something for you to peruse:

It is rational to take what a person says to extrapolate a position that person has taken. It is also rational to take their word when they say they are working towards something to mean that they actually are working towards it.
An irrational position is when one attempts to tell people that the position they have taken and their direct statement that they are working towards something to mean exactly opposite of what they stated.
Tell me, who is irrational?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

So when the president talks about pressing for gun control, we are paranoid for believing him?
Firstly, the other civil liberties argument is an analogue to this one, hence my bringing it up. The point, as it is obvious your trolling brain is incapable of discerning, is people being vigilante and watchful for a tyrannical government isn't just found in gun owners, though they are often the most vigilante. To label it as paranoid is to ignore the past 80 years of gun control in this country, as labeling other paranoid about things such as TSA and the patriot act.
Secondly, if that's the date then it's misinformed. That doesn't mean however that gun owners should simply put blinders on and ignore anything the administration may attempt.
