I’m still waiting for Obama and the DemoQuacks to identify what gun law — other than outright bans and confiscation — could have prohibited the recent mass shooting tragedies.

By the way, where the heck are all the GOP politicians to defend the Second Amendment right now? Why aren’t they taking to the airways with people who saved their lives and those of others by having a gun? Why aren’t they emphasizing the failure of the government to protect the people along the border and in the cities from the heavily-armed Mexican drug cartels? The silence from the GOP is deafening.

It seems that the fix already is in place for more onerous regulations on the matter.

If he thinks guns are ickie, then he needs to disarm his heavily armed SS police force he is putting together and his SS cover that polishes his butt.

So Obama would be on VERY shaky legal ground if he tried this, and a federal judge somewhere (it only takes one)would most likely issue an injunction the next day.

I'm not so sure about that; Obama and his allies have proven very, very adept at shooting down legal 'threats' -- just look at the eligibility issues and how, across 50 states, the federal courts, and the military courts no challenge has even bloodied his nose.

Given these successes in the legal arena, why should we expect an AWB to be any different?
In fact, imagine that a judge did issue an injunction or decide to hear a case, and then was killed by assault weapons... thus the judge becomes just another reason why Americans must be divested of their weapons.

Cynical? Yes.
Though I've found cynicism to be a very good guide in predicting what would happen in Fast and Furious "investigations": nothing of impact.

We found out last week he did not say when he was told. It could be something from a while back or new. I assume by the nature of him telling us it was recent.

An acquaintance who owns a private security firm and also is a high ranking member in a state guard told us they got a directive from the US government to prepare a training program targeted at implementing private firearm confiscation. He said beware they (feds) are planning.

I was in a state guard. State guards simply do not do this sort of thing. Seriously.

And the DEA doesn't launder money for the drug cartels.
And the FDA doesn't raid farms over the production/sale of raw milk.
And the ATF doesn't enable illegal arms trafficking.

The country's gotten quite weird and the 'tin-foil nuts' are sounding more and more like the only ones who see reality for what it is.
