And down the memory hole it goes!
I just got a notice from new_iconoclast on LJ that the page detailing Obama’s gun control agenda (as well as all his other policy plans) has been scrubbed. He said:
As of 1930 CST on Sat 08 Nov 08, that page is “not available right now” on change.gov. Thanks for the quote.
Sure enough, I headed back to change.gov, and the new agenda page reads – in full:
The Agenda
President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.
The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include: a plan to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives.
Too late, Barry. We already know.
So on a scale of 0 to 0.0378 what percent of your brain thinks they decided not to try to go forward with AWB II?
They amended the required national service to soften it first, then they pulled the whole agenda page.
At least they know that it was a problem.
Oh, I’m sure he saw the error of his ways and decided not to screw us all over after all.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See, he’s a supporter of the RKBA^H^H^H^H^H 2nd amendment, but his first priority is to help with the economy so this is his first faze^H^H^H^H phase, where he gets a lot of people to buy durable goods (AR-15s, lower receivers, reloading presses, and the like), you know, just to get the economy moving again.
After that phase, of course, he’ll snub the brady bunch and his Joyce Foundation buddies and veto everything except sunshine gun laws, which of course he will insist that Speaker Pelosi attach to every “must pass” spending bill.
By advancing the freedoms of all Americans and booting the BATFE, all the RINOs will depart the elephant tent to join the blue-dogs. The final coup d’état will be the appointment of Ron Paul to the Supreme Court. Obama easily wins a second term, with a landslide (>52%) election where the GOP barely polls better than the Green party.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and hey, am I going to get my flying unicon that farts rainbows by January 20?)
hmm. could you link to the elljay post, or is it private?
I’m wondering why archive.org isn’t caching such an important and historical page.
oddly enough, Google scraped the page on nov 9, and that’s what is in their cache.
I’m sure there’s someone out there that has been spidering the whole site though.
The LJ post is just a mirror of my post here, so N_I was just commenting on that.
Check out my newest post, which points here, though. :)
