Just get out that old executive-order pen of yours, Barry, and "stroke of the pen, law of the land" us.

See what happens.

Of course taking guns away from law abiding citizens does wonders for the crime rate. It goes up.
Hence the need for even more gun control. And so on.
When a commie plan fails, their answer is always more of the same.

What about “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” does this affirmative action poster boy not understand?

I guess when you get a pass because of your color you are not too bright.

The only legal way to get his communist vermin way on the 2nd Amendment is via a new Amendment. However, when your an affirmative action student you probably did not understand that part of the Constitution.

Maybe we should eliminate all violence on TV & video games just like they make sure we never see a boob on the boob tube.

While I am 100% certain the founders wanted us to be armed for protection from scum and from the government (that might be redundant), I don’t for one nano second think the founders wanted porn or killing to be protected by the 1st Amendment.

Just like the first Amendment the 2nd Amendment is designed to protect us from government and the only boobs they had in mind were politicians.

Here is the deal prezzy, after you recover every weapon and account for every death that resulted from your gun running to Mexican Drug Cartels, I will then actually listen and actually devote some thought to what you have to say about something. And after Hillary Clinton gets admonished and punished for her role in the systematic failures at the Department of State that resulted in the deaths of 4 Americans, I will actually listen and actually devote some thought to what anyone else in DC has to say about something. Until then, you are all just blowing into the wind, trying to rule a country of law abiding citizens, that no longer exists.

The best reason for citizens to NEED assault weapons with high capacity mags is the criminal JBTs this administration will send to confiscate our weapons will be armed with assault weapons with high capacity mags.

Seems like equality to me! All in fairness. Level the playing field. Social Justice. blah, blah.

Libs seem to forget that this country was founded then run by armed rebels who put their freedom above everything else; "Give me liberty or give me death". And who made damn sure it would stay that way. He or anyone else doesn't like it then they should GTFO!

If it were not for “weapons of war”, we might still be a British colony.

Hey, “Preezy of the United Steezy”, first you disarm all the gangbangers & all the narcotraffickers, then we’ll talk.

But, he insisted, the majority of law-abiding gun owners agree that it’s a good idea to remove the public’s access to “weapons of war.”

Guess we now need a precise definition of “weapons of war.” I've always thought those types of weapons were belt-fed fully automatic weapons. Is that what Lanza used?

Not one of these proprosed 2nd-A infringments would have stopped Lanza.

l. He didn’t use an assault weapon. He used two pistols.

2. He evaded a BG check by stealing weapons.

3. There are millions of normal capacity magazines in circulation. The 1994 crime bill also would not have stopped ownership. Instead of 2 15-round magazines, he could use 3 10-round magazines. (A magazine exchange only takes a second or two).

Folks, in his talk Obama said his gun control task force will consist of representatives from Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, the Justice Department and unspecified organizations and individuals.

Did y'all notice he NEVER specifically mentioned members of our elected Senate and House to be on this Alice in Wonderland commission?

Reason? He's going to accept the report which will be just as anti-Constitution as the Benghazi special committee whitewash report was anti-American.

After he accepts the stacked report and thanks every one he will do what he's already decided to do...... by-pass Congress and issue an executive order.

He'll ban every weapon his little black heart desires, right down to pea shooter.....as befits a fiat from any pea brained fascist dictator .

“no definition of what an assault weapon is...
why not?”

They will probably spell this out in legislation as being any weapon (rifle or handheld pistol) that can accept a removable “magazine” or “cartridge”.

Expect this….

All our problems were fixed in 1968!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”

—Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 GCA into law.
