I am waiting for the media to jump all over Biden for his stridency and unwillingness to negotiate and compromise, in the same way they attack conservatives.
Not.
This is not ominous at all.
The fed govt is without authority to do anything in gun control (and for that matter, the existing background checks, while an appealing idea I believe prudent, are patently unconstitutional in their own right... and no doubt would have to be struck down if NRA or someone mounted a challenge).
I read Biden’s comment as preparing the country for the “doing nothing” option, accompanied with, of course, tons of political BS speeches about how their hands are tied and how they wished so very much to “protect us” .. etc...)
ps: happened to drive within about a mile and quarter of a gun show, on way to another destination. The parking lots were all full (there are extensive parking lots!) and they had traffic lined up blocking all vehicular movement for a mile on each side of the show site.... cars waiting in the traffic lanes for a chance to squeeze into the lot as soon as anybody left the show. FYI. We were extremely lucky to be able to reach a corner where we were able to make a legal U-turn and get away from the traffic tie-up; we never did get to our intended destination. It is obvious that nobody plans to be giving up their guns — indeed I wish we had stock in the manufacturers’ companies they must be making a FORTUNE since O and Biden started spouting off their political bs about taking people’s guns away. (HUM... maybe O and Biden purchased stock in the companies last year...???????? ha! Naw, they’d never do anything dishonest.... forget it!)
Translation: "I'm too stupid to know that if I overreach, I'll cause a severe backlash."
Obama WILL try to ignore the Second Amendment, and he will try to ignore established US Statutes and the process for enacting Legal laws through both houses. Unequivocally!
He WILL issue Executive Orders that infringe on the citizens' rights to bear arms, and his lap dog Executive agencies like the ATF will establish regulations and BS rules that try to coerce citizens to comply.
An Executive Order is a directive to an Executive Branch agency to follow some administrative edict from the President. I contend that it is not LAW; any rule, regulation or order must have some basis in established Federal Law to be consitutional.
I am not his employee, I am not his frigging 'subject'. If the ATF whoever cannot cite established legal LAWS on which their rulings, edicts or demands are based, I am not going to comply, period. I won't have any weapons when they come.
Given the track record of the so-called “opposition party” that is the Republicans, do you doubt they will “roll-over”?
I will die when they come, the only question is haw many of them will also die.
I agree with everything you said.
What is truly infuriating is that we all know that the GOP-e leadership in D.C. will NOT stand up for the 2nd Amendment. They are are contemptible cowards.
If I was writing a fictional essay on what happens after the collapse, it would start with all the GOP-e being chased into oblivion and then move to taking on the evil left.
Boehner, McConnel are disgusting, panty-wearing girly men.
I agree, this is not iminous, it’s good news.
Biden is setting up the anti-freedom base for the outcome of a meaningless law or two getting passed.
What he means is that he knows nothing big will be passed regarding guns.
Standard Obama procedure, talk very big, do very little.
Who knows what Biden means. The man has never had a cogent thought in his life.
Uncle Joe is saying that the Regime won't take an all-or-nothing approach. That they will push through whatever they can get is the real message. It does our side no good whatsoever when we go off about what the other side didn't say. It's especially embarrassing when the entire quote is there to put Biden's words in context.
Stuning our beebers in the shower may make for hugh and vey series fun on FreeRepublic, but it harms our cause when we post material from bloggers who can't read.
>> Who knows what Biden means. The man has never had a cogent thought in his life.
WE HAVE A WINNER

Really, what good is a collectivist agenda without a suitable genocidal finale?
All or nothing—Fine by me.
I got first dibs on Holder.
Should be here in the next millenium or two.....
