Obozo will come out and spout that he is compelled to act as congress is deadlocked on the gun issue.
Who knows what the executive action could be, but these people need to begin breaking down gun ownership to advance their agenda. Not totally clear what the agenda is, but it doesn't look like freedom.
Using legislation, executive action, U.N. treaty, the courts, Uncle Sugar will throw as much stuff against the wall to what sticks and they will keep on...keepin on until they sufficiently erode our right to defend ourselves from an ever growing oppressive entity.
I agree, a new gun law isn’t the path they will take. I jotted this down in my journal the other day:
Paraphrased from the EPA website:
On April 2, 2007, the Supreme Court found that Greenhouse Gases (GHGs), including carbon dioxide, fit within the definition of air pollutant in the Clean Air Act (CAA). Now, less than 4 years later, GHG emissions will, for the first time, be covered by federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title V Operating Permit Programs. These permitting programs, required under the 1977 and 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, are proven tools for protecting air quality and the same tools will be used to reduce GHG emissions. But the thresholds established in the CAA for determining which businesses are subject to these permitting programs were based on traditional pollutants and were not designed to be applied to GHGs. EPA’s GHG Tailoring Rule, issued in May 2010, established a common sense approach to permitting GHG emissions under existing permitting programs. The Tailoring Rule sets different emission threshold criteria for permitting based on carbon dioxide equivalent emissions. Under the rule, permitting will focus on the largest industrial sources, while shielding millions of small businesses that make up the vast majority of the U.S. economy
Future text from the ATF website:
On April 2, 2014, the Supreme Court found that Assault Weapons (AWs), including semiautomatic weapons, fit within the definition of regulated items in the National Firearms Act (NFA). Now, less than 2 years later, Assault Weapons will, for the first time, be covered by federal Firearm Registration and Transfer Tax Programs. These registration programs, required under the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA) and the 1968 Gun Control Act (GCA), are proven tools for protecting public safety and the same tools will be used to reduce AW violence. But the characteristics established in the NFA/GCA for determining which weapons are subject to these programs were based on traditional military firearms and were not designed to be applied to all firearms. ATF’s Firearm Safety Tailoring Rule, issued in May 2015, established a common sense approach to permitting AWs under existing registration programs. The Tailoring Rule sets different criteria for registration based on current military characteristics of modern firearms. Under the rule, registration will focus on the most dangerous weapons, while shielding millions of hunters and sportsmen who make up the vast majority of Americans gun owners.
My prediction:
The liberals are waiting to have a packed supreme court, then they will challenge the definition of “NFA-firearm.” Semiautomatic firearms are much more closely related to NFA-regulated-firearms than greenhouse gases are related to CAA-regulated-pollutants. If the EPA can completely disregard the clear language of the CAA, the ATF can completely disregard the clear language of the NFA/GCA. No new laws will need to be passed. No new agencies or government programs will need to be created. And Congress, the direct representatives of the people, will once again, be totally irrelevant.
