Two-Faced Union Bosses Help Shape Obama’s Attack On 2nd Amendment

By LaborUnionReport - 1/8/2013

“I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms.” Barack Obama (Washington Times, 6/30/08)

In the run up to Barack Obama’s 2008 election, despite his radical past and anti-2nd Amendment record, union bosses far and wide tried to portray Obama as a pro-Constitution moderate who supports the 2nd Amendment.

However, as America’s gun-toting union members are about to find out–and much of America already knows–not only is Barack Obama a gun control advocate, but Obama is using his union ties to help disarm Americans.
During Obama’s 2008 candidacy, Obama infamously let slip with a dinner crowd of San Francisco elitists that Pennsylvanians (and other small towners) “cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them.”

When many Americans took offense at this insult, Obama’s union handlers doubled their efforts to portray their Manchurian Candidate as just a regular guy.

In one Important Message From Your Union, despite Obama’s anti-gun record, union bosses lied to their members by asserting that “Barack Obama won’t take away your gun…”

However, in March 2011–long before most Americans had ever heard of Sandy Hook, Connecticut–Barack Obama and his gun-control cronies had were making plans to bypass Congress to restrict Americans’ 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.

Following the Sandy Hook massacre, Obama and Democrats are using the tragedy to further infringe on the 2nd Amendment and they are using their union boss buddies to help prepare gun control legislation and trick their members again.

As AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka is sitting on Joe Biden’s Gun Control Task Force, according to Huffington Post, union bosses somehow have a stake in determining the future of Americans’ Right to Bear Arms.

In an interview with The Huffington Post on Thursday, Richard Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO, said that the labor federation was now eager to have the gun control discussion in the wake of the mass killings in Newtown, Conn., and that he hoped unions would have a place at the table in Vice President Joe Biden’s gun violence task force.

“We have people on both sides of the equation,” Trumka said. “We represent teachers, firefighters, police officers and state workers. And [a lot] of those people are sportsmen.”

“We’ve already started talking about it and we’ve started bringing our members together,” Trumka went on. “It needs to looked at in the broader sense of things things like mental health, video games. If you’re going to deal with this thing, you need to deal with it in all the aspects.”

“The national leadership of the AFL-CIO has supported restrictive ‘gun control’ legislation for nearly a quarter of a century,” according to the National Rifle Association.

Presuming that Obama and his union cronies are aligned, AFL-CIO boss Trumka’s involvement in the gun control discussion does not bode well for America’s 2nd Amendment.

It All Started Here . . .

Frontier Mercersburg in 1765 was the "birthplace" of the right we now refer to as "the Second Amendment", or, "the right to bear arms". It was here that individuals for the first time, some would say divinely, embraced the link between "Life and Liberty". . . and struck the first blow for Freedom.

Historically the right to bear arms goes back even before our founding as a nation to the Glorious Revolution of 1689 when William III agreed to the English Bill of Rights. If one can look at revolution like a volcanic eruption in nature, you understand that often from the destruction come the seeds of new human values and beliefs. In this case the independence of the human spirit, the right to know God for oneself, and to trust your conscience was hard won in this revolution of the human soul.

One crucible begets the necessity for another and on the frontier in America the right to defend ones religious beliefs was becoming the right to participate in the decisions of government that impact my "self". Freedom of the soul was becoming freedom of the heart and mind. Smith's Rebellion began as an act they justified under the rubric of defending oneself because government had failed in its obligation to protect Life, Liberty and Property. This was the first assertion of this principle aimed directly at British Military Authority as well as the incompetent government of John Penn - anywhere in the colonies.

In the end, Smith's Rebellion was the first armed resistance against British Military Rule leading up to the American Revolution. It was the first American triumph over the best military force in the world. It was the first time upon defending oneself that Americans had proclaimed we can rule ourselves.

It would be ten years before the battles at Lexington and Concord.

...Let Them Take Arms

The "Right to Bear Arms" . . .or 2nd Amendment is one of the most discussed and contentious of all the amendments of the Bill of Rights. It is, in fact, the only amendment that contains not only the seeds but the actual instruments of the revolution itself. Further, it gives real affirmation to Thomas Jefferson's quote . . .
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

It is for this reason, if no other, that the Government and its functionaries vociferously assail and obfuscate the text of this simple assertion. More, it is for this reason, and in the face of the perennial onslaught that its defense and affirmation is essential to the survival of the republic.

Frontier Mercersburg & The Justice William Smith House

The frontier town of Mercersburg, PA. in the 1760's, although typical of many settlements along the Appalachian Mountains played a pivotal role in the creation of what was to become the "Bill of Rights".

Frontiersmen like James Smith and the Black Boys, many of whom were inhabitants of the Mercersburg environs, were early participants in a series of conflicts with the British government that established principles the eventually lead to the inclusion of the "right to bear arms" in the Bill of Rights.

Much of the focus, centers on the domicile (and likely place of business) of Justice William Smith.
