Vice President Joe Biden is meeting with victims of gun violence today. Speaking with reporters beforehand, Biden said President Obama may use an executive order to push through more gun control and Second Amendment restrictions. More from the Weekly Standard.
"The president is going to act," said Biden, giving some comments to the press before a meeting with victims of gun violence. "There are executives orders, there's executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. 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 said that this is a moral issue and that "it's critically important that we act."
Biden talked also about taking responsible action. "As the president said, if you're actions result in only saving one life, they're worth taking. But I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of americans and take thousands of people out of harm's way if we act responsibly."
We knew this was coming. The White House has been saying for a month that they are acting "quickly" on new gun control measures. Senator Dianne Feinstein's sweeping new gun control legislation hasn't even been introduced yet and Obama isn't the kind of president who has shown a willingness to wait on Congress.
If Obama pushes through new regulations using executive powers, the process will unfold in different parts. After an order is signed, the Department of Justice led by Attorney General Eric Holder, will be in charge of enforcement through the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. Now, how far the order will go is the big question. You can bet it will ban semi-automatic rifles and large ammunition magazines, but how Obama grandfathers in old, lawfully purchases semi-automatic rifles remains unknown. Will he require citizens who already own these weapons to be fingerprinted as Feinstein's bill requires? Or will he go so far as confiscation as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has suggested? Time will tell.
Chris to use ignore on executive order.
That would be grounds for a rebellion.
I'll ignore that one too. I don't bow to any Pharaoh.
**** President Obama may use an executive order to push through more gun control and Second Amendment restrictions. More from the Weekly Standard. ****
“Pitiful Earthling! Who can stop me now!”-Obama the Merciless
But I’m convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of americans and take thousands of people out of harm’s way if we act responsibly.”
OMG!...I’m in the Twilight Zone! This will not end well at all...Way to go Obama and your wack left psychotic zombies!
If a sitting elected official can modify your Constitutional rights with the stroke of a pen, you have no immutable rights. At that moment we no longer live in the America we grew up in, but in tyranny and oppression.
Because if your elected officials can take our rights by edict you truly have no rights. Today’s anti-gun dictator may become tomorrow’s anti-speech dictator.
Regardless what he “allows” or forbids, only a dictator creates or takes rights with the stroke of a pen.

The House needs to refuse to fund any EO that infringes on 2A. It must also go to court, invoking the gun right Senate amendment hidden in 0-care, ironically. States need to assert sovereignty and governors need to issue their own EOs protecting citizen rights.
FUBO. I pray that BO meets the same fate as Chavez.
If this Gov’t goes all tyranny on me the light bill shall, by certainty, go up.
F “the court”
Shall not be infringed
Pretty plain english
Never surrender.

I wonder how much more is it going to take for the people to finally put that tin pot dictator wannabe and his treasoncrat minions in their place?
There aren’t enough law enforcement and military to confiscate all the weapons. Once a few of them become casualties from confiscation, they will begin to refuse.
Of course, Gun Control is only aimed at White folks. Gun Control sure does not work for Black folks...note the number of them killed by guns in Gun Control cities
How history repeats ..in 1933 the Reichstag fire was used as the pretext for German President Paul Hindenberg to issue a decree that nullified many of the key civil liberties of German citizens. This was regarded as the first step for establishing a one party Nazi rule in Germany with Hitler as supreme leader. In 2013 President Obama may issue executive orders nullifying the rights of American citizens. Could this be the start of one party rule in the US?
This is all so transparent it’s ridiculous.
Told off the GOP idiot who called tonight to ask for my donation. He sure got an earful. Not ONE DIME to the GOP for their spineless performance on this and so many other issues!!
