“…The Joyce directorate’s plan almost succeeded. The individual rights view won out in the Heller Supreme Court appeal, but only by 5-4. The four dissenters were persuaded in part by Joyce-funded writings, down to relying on an article which misled them on critical historical documents.
“Having lost that fight, Obama now claims he always held the individual rights view of the Second Amendment, and that he “respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms.” But as a Joyce director, Obama was involved in a wealthy foundation’s attempt to manipulate the Supreme Court, buy legal scholarship, and obliterate the individual right to arms.
“Voters who value the Constitution should ask whether someone who was party to that plan should be nominating future Supreme Court justices.”

Along with “education,” one of their focuses is gun control which they charaterize as “gun violence.” Never mind that a gun can’t be “violent” without a person being violent first. Barack Obama worked diligently to take down the Second Amendment. There was a clear path for doing this at Joyce. They targeted future Supreme Court decisions and began funding lies and deceptive law articles about the individual right to keep and bear arms.
There are three important things to remember here:
1) Obama has repeatedly told us he has been FOR individual gun rights, yet we are seeing the Fast and Furious gunrunner scandal develop, which many believe was an attempt to set up U.S. firearm sellers, show them to be irresponsible, and clamp-down tight on gun laws, and most important,
2) Barack Obama as President, appoints Supreme Court Justices
3) As President, Barack Obama has created nothing but lies, misery and more government…

…Congress has abdicated their duty and violated their oath of office, just as Obama has violated the Constitution to which he swore. Make no mistake about, this man has committed impeachable offenses…
