Gun Control Not the Only Controversial Issue Obama Plans to Push This Month

During Obama's 1st term, after winning passage of his one signature legislative victory, Obamacare, he took a beating at the midterm polls and did not expend any political capital on controversial issues.  Even before being inaugurated for his second term, he has signaled that not only will he push for gun control, but will also deliver to the millions of illegal aliens in the country "immigration reform."  This from The Weekly Standard:

The Huffington Post quotes a Democratic aide who believes "Good news for immigration advocates may have come Tuesday night, when Boehner broke the so-called 'Hastert Rule' and allowed the fiscal cliff bill to come for a vote without support from a majority of his Republican conference. Given opposition to immigration reform by many Tea Party Republicans, the proof that Boehner is willing to bypass them on major legislation is a good sign."

Will Boehner also sell out the majority of his conference and the nation's firearms rights to bring up a gun control bill if the heat of gun control talk from the White House gets too hot for him to bear too?

There is a Sickness in Our Country

That is the theme of Wayne LaPierre's speech. Part of that sickness is Washington's political class failing to enforce current laws or secure our border. A film clip from the NRANEWS staff detailed how the ranchers on the border are protecting their homes and families because the federal government won't.

Wayne talked about the huge number of illegals crossing the border have a criminal record. He then detailed how Arizona passed their own version of federal law to combat the drug cartel kidnappers and killers that are crossing the border. And the Washington political elites are now attacking Arizona for doing what the elites refuse to do.

Wayne talked about rancher Robert Krentz that was killed on his ranch. He was an NRA member as are members of his family. Wayne introduced them to the crowd.

While immigration is not our issue, LaPierre tied it all together by day selective enforcement of immigration laws is tied by selective enforcement of other criminal laws.

After talking about how selective enforcement of the law has made Albany, NY and California less safe.

The sickness he alluded to in the beginning is how not enforcing the law makes us less safe and less secure.
