THE PUBLIC IS RATIONAL: We Are Way More Scared of Government Than Guns: President Obama’s urgency on gun control is at odds with what people are really worried about. People are 8 times more scared of government than they are of guns, according to Gallup. “Yet Obama pushes forward with measures that even he acknowledges ‘will save few lives,’ almost certainly more out of politics than an interest in dealing with the most serious problems facing the country.”

Obama, like the rest of the left, wants you disarmed because disarmed people are less trouble. Also, disarmament is a potent sign of submission, which the left gets off on.
