Obama May Use Executive Order to Grab Guns, Warns Biden
Wednesday, January 9, 2013 01:22 PM

President Barack Obama will consider using executive orders among the steps to curb gun violence following last month’s mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, Vice President Joe Biden said.

“The president and I are determined to take action,” Biden said at the start of a meeting with gun-control advocates and groups representing victims.

“We haven’t decided what that is yet,” Biden told the Weekly Standard. “But we’re compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required.”

Biden called it a moral issue, adding that “it’s critically important that we act.”

CNN is part of the “Low Information Media”.

Alex Jones may not be the most America-Friendly in terms of national security.....but he severely skooled Peeers on that TV show. Conservatives need to stop being wusses and stop worrying about what the liberal media thinks

I don't know what happened, but I suspect he did not die on his knees, disarmed.

It should also be noted that British Murder stats should not be trusted as if someone is murdered but they cannot find the murderer the result is not counted as a “murder”....

Alex Jones is to Conservatives as Fred Phelps is to Christians, both are whack jobs (yeah, I know Phelps is a dem plant).

While I applaud Jones for his opinion he is not doing us any favors, he comes off as a kook like Ron Paul. (no, I am no Paul bot but agree with him on many issues).

They all give credence to the lib mantra that we who cherish the Constitution are nuts, out of tune, knuckledraggers.

I am no way criticizing your graphic, it's effective, in most cases it's the correct narrative, however in the case of Schindler's Jews, it's inaccurate.

No surprise Spielberg left it out, it doesn't fit his domestic political narrative. However if you poke around a bit in the narratives of his survivors, and I believe his wife, you'll learn that left out of the movie was the fact that Schindler accumulated a substantial arsenal for the use of his workers. Modern arms in the context of the conflict, thought to have been acquired both through channels available to him through the Reich to protect his factory, supplemented by purchases from the Czech underground. Carbines, pistols, automatic weapons, some grenades. Prisoners were taught the mechanical operation one at a time, and I believe organized in squads of five. Amongst his prisoners were Jews who had served in the Polish Army, rumored to have been selected for that purpose.

Rounding up Schindler's Jews would have cost many German lives.

Of cours armed Jews, or armed anyone, doesn't fit Spielbergs mindset, so you won't see it in the movie.

For anyone (probably not on this site) who questions the recollections of survivors, it's in Thomas Keneally's book of the same name, which the movie is based on. Odd Spielberg didn't read the book.

A ping to my post 9. It's off topic, but since gun control has become an issue, it's worthwhile information. I'm not suggesting that the SS or Gestapo were aware of Schindler's protection of Jews but didn't act due to the cost late in the war, nor am I suggesting they didn't

The problem is, when you’re polite and calm, you’re called “unbelievably stupid” and dismissed. Buzz Bissinger (Friday Night Lights, Daily Beast), a guest on CNN, suggested Piers “pop” Alex Jones with a semi-auto while Abby Huntsman (Huffpo) and Gloria Allred laughed. If they’re advocating that people should lose the unalienable right to protect themselves should they assume they’re going to be safe? Be honest and tell such people that they have a literal skin in the game.

I absolutely agree with you! While I agree with the content of what Alex Jones was saying, his way of saying it was totally ineffective! And at the end of the piece, I actually found myself wondering if he was coked up or something...his behavior was that crazy! Agitated, screaming, kooky.....

yeah, he totally lost the argument for us with his big mouth. Ugh.

Yup, that's why Morgan had him on. Even if Alex had presented a skilled, reasoned defense of the 2nd amendment (which he did not do), Piers can simply change the subject to Jones' being a truther wackadoodle and then bring up all the other goofy conspiracy theories Alex pushes. These MSM guys like Morgan know Alex Jones is the kind of person that you can get talking about water fluoridation conspiracies which then make everything associated with him look insane.

(no, I am no Paul bot but agree with him on many issues).

Just like most of us on the conservative side. Paul is 100% right about half the time, and the other half the man is off in naive fantasyland.

Not that facts enter into the gun control debate now that the Left-wing extremists see an opportunity to end America as we knew it, but here are two journal articles that illustrate the unintended consequences of gun control, namely increased murder and suicide rates, and mass-murder by government of its own citizens.

WOULD BANNING FIREARMS REDUCE MURDER AND SUICIDE?, Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Volume 30, Number 2, Spring 2007 (pp. 649-694)

OF HOLOCAUSTS AND GUN CONTROL, Washington University Law Quarterly, Volume 75, Number 3, Fall 1997 (pp. 1237-1275)

Yes, but Alex said the one thing that NO ONE has said in such a forum, that the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with duck hunting, it has to to with fighting and checking tyranny. For that statement alone, I applaud Alex for saying what is the plain truth that no one else will say.

Yup, I agree completely.

There is a concerted effor now to destroy not only Conservatives, but the Reublican party in general, as well as the 2nd Amendment.

I wish I had an answer as to how we can defeat this, but I think it is too late to do it...peacefully anyway.

I’ve stopped being interested in whether or not the libs think we’re kooks, because even if we aren’t, they’ll paint us that way.

I actually think that we’re better off if they think we’re all unstable, with our fingers on the trigger, and mad as hell like Alex Jones is.

If they think we’ll all go postal if gun control passes, then maybe they’ll think twice.

I once saw an article about a guy who taught his daughter how to deal with a bully. One of the best pieces of advice he gave her was to yell something crazy at the top of her lungs, in the most insane, blood curdling scream. He told her to tell the bully that she would pull his eyes out and eat them. She did that, and never had another problem with that kid.

I want the liberals to think that we’re all equally unhinged. Trying to appear rational hasn’t worked for a long time. We need them to think we’re all bat-sh** crazy and are ready for a confrontation.
