It was only a matter of time.
Bullsh*t!
Takes too long.See my tagline.
The AZ shooter was a clear mental case who had been banned from school -- including requiring a physicianl's "clean bill of mental health" before he could return to school.
The dumb@$$ local sheriff could have blocked his gun purchase on that basis -- but let him slide.
The NICS check includes a field for rejection based on mental health. That was not done -- even though the warning signs were clear -- if the school MH issue had been reported to the database.
Maybe they are trying to sneak in a requirement for a MH clearance before gun purchase -- as part of the Fed background check.
The above is just my guess...
“physicianl’s “ — no charge for the exra “l”... ‘-}
As bad as this is going to be, wait until the other shoe drops. Then we’re all in.
Our prayers are similar. Ah, well - a fine weekend to work the good old AQT. 500 yard head shots are the name of my game.
Yep. Banning the person to person gun sale because there is no paperwork is coming. From the same dictator who apparently sent 30,000 guns south of the border in order to frame up American gun dealers.
I doubt seriously that I will even pay attention to his EO. I’ve already got guns and ammunition and even more importantly, I live in Texas not some puke state like Illinois.
Prosecutions in the Department of Justice for violating current gun laws???
Shove your EO up your ass, Barry.
The Republicans would have to grow a set of balls and a spine before they would stand up to ANY Rat president.
I won’t say what I’d like to because I don’t want the law at my door in 2 minutes.
My current thoughts and opinions are un-printable at this time.
“Perhaps I am mistaken, but Congress can negate Executive Orders.”
Maybe I’m also mistaken, but my understanding is that the only entity who can strike down an EO is a future president. That’s why Obama’s EO’s are so scary - they’re like royal proclamations (but his most dangerous ones are done under the radar) - untouchable.
I hope I’m wrong - anyone?
Obama and Holder have killed more people than that crazy Tucson shooter.
That was an odd choice, though. I am sure there is a better example, but probably under a liberal President.
As you had hoped, you are wrong. Congress can override an executive order by enacting legislation that conflicts with the order - the President is duty-bound to enforce the laws enacted by Congress, and to not act contrary to those laws. Of course, just because it can be done doesn’t mean that it can be done easily - most obviously, a President who wanted to protect an executive order of his could veto a bill intended to override that order; it would then take a supermajority in Congress to override that veto. Congress could also simply prohibit any funding for the activities called for in the executive order.
Reagan did blow it with that 86 law. Bush Sr did some bad things as well. W did mostly great on guns, the sunsetting of the AWB I'll still give to Tom Delay though.
Watch the accusations though, it's not a good mentality.
