Obama took his cue on gun control from Uncle Adolf.
The book Hitler's Table Talk, 1941-1944: Secret Conversations records Hitler as having said the following sometime between February and September 1942:
“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police.”
As of December 18, Ohio’s National Guard facilities are no longer gun-free.
According to The Columbus Dispatch, “72 Guard facilities” now allow the carrying of arms for self-defense, and recruitment offices in Columbus, Dayton, Findlay, and Painesville reopened “after having been moved to nearby armories.”
Ohio National Guard members had been unarmed until now due to “concerns about negligent discharges of firearms.” But the Dispatch reports that the combination of the Chattanooga attack, the 2013 assault on military personnel at the DC Navy Yard, and the heinous November 2009 attack on soldiers at Fort Hood changed everything.
The carnage wrought on unarmed military personnel simply outweighed the concerns about an accidental discharge.
On December 18, Major General Mark E. Bartman—adjutant general of Ohio—said, “We must take necessary action to protect our members.”
It’s about time. Hopefully the rest of the States will follow suit.

With open carry of handguns in Texas set to become law on January 1, First Baptist Church of Arlington has decided to allow congregants with concealed licenses to carry openly in church buildings if they so choose.
Arlington sits about 29 miles west of Dallas on I-30.
According to Fox News, First Baptist Church of Arlington “typically sees some 2,500 worshipers each Sunday.” And Senior Pastor Dennis Wiles said the church decided to allow open carry “after discussing the matter with its legal team” and congregants–“including police officers who already carry concealed guns.”
Wiles said, “We decided it was best to allow responsible people to do this if they choose.” He stressed that the matter can be revisited if there are any problems, but added, “When it comes to a church, I don’t think we’re going to see that much difference.”
News that First Baptist is embracing open carry comes on the heels of news that Kroger grocers in the Dallas area are doing the same. Forbes reported that Kroger will honor the law allowing the open carry of handguns by Texas concealed permit holders just as they honor gun laws in other states where their stores are located.
