Biden: W.H. eying 19 executive actions on guns
Politico ^ | 1/15/13 | REID J. EPSTEIN

The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Later this week, Obama will formally announce his proposals to reduce gun violence, which are expected to include renewal of the assault weapons ban, universal background checks and prohibition of high-capacity magazine clips. But Biden, who has been leading Obama’s task force on the response, spent two hours briefing a small group of sympathetic House Democrats on the road ahead in the latest White House outreach to invested groups.

Gee, here I assumed the executive branch couldn’t arbitrarily change the Constitution. Of course, I’d assumed a non-NBC could dictate to us and I’d assumed the other two branches and US citizens would stand up to such. I was wrong.

which is why we haven't won a war since WW2.

We won in Grenada. And we won the first desert storm in the 1990's.

“That means you, spineless republicans. Aiding and abetting domestic enemies through cowardly inaction makes you a domestic enemy. “

Yes, and that includes all you “ostriches” here on FR who think the solution to all our problems is to move to Texas (or some other place where you have to kick the cow $hit off your boots)! Just how does “being in Texas” solve your gun registration problem if this stuff passes. Inquiring minds want to know! Now let’s see, Oklahoma was originally setup as a place for all the indians. Maybe all the “decent people” should huddle there! All the Big Chief No Nuts here who want to cut and run may like that option.

Who knew that the president could change the Constitution with an auto-pen?

Maybe he plans to auto-pen himself the right to auto-pen changes. Yea, that works.

When is Obama planning on entering the House to start calling out names,
then have members dragged outside for extermination.

I keep thinking vote and Senate and House, also. But Obama is planning an executive order.
There will be no vote on any ban, there are not enough on either side to pass it.
And the fact that there's not enough also means there are many who would vote Yes.

My point was that the Repubs need to do something that is effective, with teeth in it.

No, I don’t have any idea what.

They need to - but won’t - do something that will wound him politically or slow him down.

“If he does, and the RINOs don’t initiate impeachment proceedings, things are going to get hot.”

Yep. This kind of thing is what the phrase “chit storm” was invented for.

Yes the Feds are so great with guns and overseeing their use - as in Fast and Furious. The Justice Dept could handle all this for us.

The Justice Department will be much more thorough with the People than it could ever garner interests for in hindering the really bad guys.
