John Bolton: Gun control a top goal of Obama 2nd Term

PITTSBURGH—John Bolton suggested Friday that Barack Obama is laying the foundation to push an ambitious gun control agenda if he wins a second term.
Trying to make his background relevant to an audience of gun activists, 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.
“We can understand that, as he likes to say, he’s playing the long game, and that ‘leading from behind’ means waiting until he’s elected to a second term when he faces no further political constraints and his true agenda can come to the floor,” Bolton told thousands of gun owners at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting here. “And I believe right at the top of it is [to] increase gun control at the federal level and at the international level.”
Bolton focused much of his 11-minute speech on the collapse of order in Mexico, which he worries will continue to spill across the border like a conveyor belt. He cited estimates of 35,000 to 40,000 drug-related homicides in the last five years in Mexico, spoke of how dangerous tourist areas have become and noted recent State Department travel warnings.
“If it weren’t for our demand, the supply wouldn’t be there and the drug cartels wouldn’t be there. But the administration in as cynical a political move as I think we’ve seen in Washington in a long time –and that’s saying something–is using this crisis in Mexico and the use of drugs in our own country not to combat the illicit narcotics but to use it as a foundation to argue for stricter gun controls at the federal level in our country,” he said.
Bolton faulted the administration for having an incoherent foreign policy. He said that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been more honest about the situation in Mexico.
“When they do talk about what’s happening in Mexico, our government, our White House follows the Mexican line by saying that the real problem of drug-related violence in Mexico is caused by guns that have come illegally across the U.S.-Mexican border,” he said.
“This is something that is music to the ears of the gun control advocates in this country,” he added, “because they can say, ‘See, actually, it’s our lack of gun controls, our lack of enforcement, that’s the real cause of the problem. So stiffer gun controls in the United States will solve the problem of drug violence in Mexico and prevent it from coming here.’”
Bolton argued that while some guns used by the gangs in Mexico do come from the United States, “the bulk of those guns” originated from corrupt police and military officials or were procured in the international weapons market.
“The idea that what’s going on in Mexico is somehow our fault because of lax gun control laws here is exactly the kind of subterfuge that the Obama administration would like to carry forward in the near future to get stronger gun control laws here,” Bolton said, “and it will provide a foundation for their argument (on) why the United States will have to enter into, in short order, the United Nations-negotiated arms trade treaty.”
He said there’s a draft circulating of that treaty, which gun control advocates have long wanted the U.S. to sign onto.
“This particular draft is a lot less onerous than it could be,” he said. “It just raises the question of whether they want to hurry this draft through to completion to try and get it considered by the Senate before the next election or whether they’re putting it out as a placeholder for negotiations to be concluded after President Obama wins his next term in office because that’s what they’re looking for.”
Chris Cox, the executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, praised Bolton’s time as ambassador to the UN under George W. Bush.
“When the United Nations wanted to restrict the rights of law abiding Americans to own firearms, this man reminded them that, in the United States, the right to keep and bear arms is not negotiable,” Cox said of Bolton. “He told the UN that they must conform to our Constitution, not the other way around.”

Building a Dictatorship or a Roll-up Into a Global World? Passports, Guns, Media, Speech, Corporate Integrity, Sovereignty… All Under Fire
Glenn talks about some real serious issues in this video… including the the true situation on the border, the connection to restricting guns in America, charts and information on the Fed and the new proposed passport application… please watch it.
CLICK HERE FOR IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THESE CHARTS!
Glenn also talks about distractions; things like the White House not making an Easter message, the focus on the Birther or more accurately Eligibility issue, etc. He has a point about the distractions, but remember the ‘Eligibility’ subject as well as a few others are pretty much no-no’s on Fox. Fox is the best network out there, but they too have some untouchable subjects… Instead of going away, after spending millions to fight the so-called Birthers, more people believe today than believed in 2008 that either Obama was not born in the U.S., somehow does not meet the Constitutional qualifications to be President of the United States, or is hiding something… the info on his father, his parents or his religion. But something just isn’t right. And if we have a person in the White House who can’t be president it is serious and we need to know before the 2012 Election! Last I checked… the comments on facebook, his site and everywhere else were overwhelming pro-Glenn on everything he said on his show today… except on the eligibility issue.
Please check out the new proposed passport application that not everyone will be asked to fill out??? But if it ends up being you, you either won’t want to or won’t be able to. Are trying to keep people locked in the country now?? And how much information is too much information??

Important Alert: - State Dept. wants to make it harder to get a passport (Like your mom's prenatal doctor phone #) - GB Video: Obama Forcing Dream Act with New Passport Regulations?
The State Department reportedly will propose a new questionnaire for ‘some’ passport applicants — an otherwise uneventful bit of news if it weren’t for the questions themselves. The fact that it will be for “some” people is almost more frightening than the question… what do ‘they’ plan to do with this information???

If you don’t want it to get even harder for a U.S. citizen to get a passport — now required for travel even to Canada or Mexico — you only have until Monday to let the State Department know. The U.S. Department of State is proposing a new Biographical Questionnaire for some passport applicants: The proposed new Form DS-5513 asks for all addresses since birth; lifetime employment history including employers’ and supervisors names, addresses, and telephone numbers; personal details of all siblings; mother’s address one year prior to your birth; any “religious ceremony” around the time of birth; and a...

Contact the State Department and tell them “NO”

It's free. It requires nothing but courage. It's codified US law and remedy from the federal reserve act.
Also…
Did you know that we have lost 35,000 people at the Mexican/American border?
And did you know that the federal government asked gun distributors for their help and are now using that situation to go after American gun makers?
And did you know that we are allowing the Mexican government to sue American gun makers? Just like have allowed Mexico to affect our immigration policies?
Just what is it going to take to wake us up… wait much longer and it will all be over including our sovereignty and freedom!

Obama Perpetuates The '90 Percent Of Mexico's Weapons Come From The U.S....
Quote: Why Does Obama Continue to Blame America???
Obama Perpetuates The '90 Percent Of Mexico's Weapons Come From The U.S....Quote: "A demand for these drugs in the United States is what is helping keep these cartels in business ... more than 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States," President Barack Obama said Thursday. However, Fox News debunked this claim weeks ago: "It's just not true. In fact, it's not even close. The fact is, only 17 percent of guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S."
Fox Report: Mexican guns not from USOnly About 10% of Weapons Used By Mexican Drug Cartels Come From America Says Former Drug Czar William Bennett
William Bennett, former drug czar, verifies that the notion being floated by liberal media and the Obama administration, but disputed by most reliable sources, on the weapons used by Mexican Drug Cartels coming primarily from the United States ‘is false’!!!
Secretary of State Clinton and others have tried to push the notion that 90% of the weapons flowing into Mexico come from the United States. That has already been repudiated. In reality 90% of the weapons captured from the Cartels,that they could identify, were from the United States. That is because the United Stats is diligent at marking the weapons produced in the U.S. for identification which is now being used against us by our own government.
In reality only between 10% and 15% of all weapons used by the Mexican drug cartels come from the United States; William Bennett said 10% in his interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s Situation Room. And if anyone should know, it would be William Bennett!
Dr. William Bennett serves as a political contributor and Republican strategist on CNN’s The Situation Room.
In addition to serving as a CNN contributor, Bennett is the host of a nationally broadcast radio show called Morning in America. In the 1980s, Bennett was the secretary of education and the chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities under President Ronald Reagan. Following that, he served as President George H.W. Bush's "drug czar." He currently serves as chairman of Americans for Victory over Terrorism, a project dedicated to sustaining and strengthening public opinion as the war on terrorism moves forward.
Also an author, Bennett has written and edited 16 books, including The Book of Virtues and The Children's Book of Virtues. The success of The Book of Virtues led to the creation of a PBS series, seen in the United States, Great Britain and 65 other countries.
In April 2005, Bennett was described in the New York Times as the "leading spokesman of the Traditional Values wing of the Republican Party."
Bennett studied philosophy earning his bachelor’s degree at Williams College and his doctorate at the University of Texas. He earned his law degree from Harvard University. He is the Washington fellow of the Claremont Institute.
