More right-wing Republicans are voicing fierce opposition to the expected 19 executive orders on guns that left wing president Obama is preparing to announce Wednesday, along with legislation to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Words you'll never see printed in Polutico.

House Conservatives... there ARE some? now THAT’s news...

[Pollster1]

“The more onerous that they are, the more we have a chance of having a revolt all across this country,” said conservative Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), no friend of Obama’s who voted for ex-Rep. Allen West as House speaker for the 113th Congress. “There is a tremendous potential for a horrendous public backlash against the president if he continues the policies that he has been doing of trying to go around Congress, create law and be a dictator like he’s been doing.”

It's time for the adults in the Democrat Party (if any) to start listening to the concerns of the people and the concerns of our representatives. We have not been in this position in 150 years, and I hope the far left fringe will back down before it gets worse.

They need to go on the offensive on multiple fronts. That means pushing to ease current restrictions for example.

Obama will announce his gun control program which involves a mix of Executive Orders and proposed Congressional action. He will have his Executive Orders signed before the sun sets and won’t particularly care what Congress does about his proposed legislation.

Think citizen nullification of the unconstitutional edicts.

Of course Obama wants to stir up insurrection so he can test his little fascist army he has organized at DHS.

It would be a huge mistake if people generally thought there was anything surendipidous about Obamas conduct, his policy, and his usurpation of America.He is not fullfilling his oath of office to defend and uphold the Constitution.
This is beause Obama is a fascist. Fascists lie, cheat , steal, disembel, betray, foment mayhem, in order to render the final solution for the problems they themsleves induce and create: The Totalitarian State is Obama’s solution.

If you think Obama will only be in power for 2 electoral terms, you are sadly mistaken. Obama means to seize absolute power. To do that he must destroy the wealthy investor class of America ( or drive them out to take up residency elsewhere), and destroy the ability of America to resist tyranny through force of arms.

I think most people simply don't care what his executive orders will be, most people just won't accept or comply with them.

Boy, these guys sure talk tough. If they really meant anything they say they’d have cut the white house budget 3 years ago and stopped all the multi-million dollar vacations. Or two years ago they would defunded obamacare like they promised. I put no stock in what any politician who claims to be conservative says.

In my opinion, this video seems very appropriate considering the aims of the current Regime, Congress, and OBayMeCare.

I remember the look of horror on the face of my grandfather, a life-long Democrat, when he one day arrived at that same conclusion nearly 30 years ago.

" 'Obama Overreaches on Guns', say House Conservatives".

Obama never "overreaches" on anything.

Like any cunning and shrewd gamesman, he overloads ornaments on the Christmas tree knowing full well some he will be forced to take off.....leaving him with the amount he wanted in the first place. He and his evil minions are adept at this strategery.

Executive orders on the ornaments he REALLY wants hung will take place on the side while his Republican opponents are still dancing around the Christmas tree congratulating themselves.

I think most people simply don't care what his executive orders will be, most people just won't accept or comply with them.

I suspect he'll let Congress deal with the banning and registration. What he will want and unfortunately will get is some massive database, a modern incarnation of the Nazis card catalog system.

Most people will not recognize the danger in the database he wants and breath a sigh of relief upon learning he isn't doing anything significant via Executive Order.

Well, duh! I was explaining this phenomenon to Mrs. Thinking not too long ago. A family friend who's mostly sane was arguing for how more government oversight of this or that business, and I told her it was a given that even if they did regulate it, it would by definition be regulation of the more capable by the less capable. She wondered how you could possibly know that, and I told her to imagine that she was the best basketball player in the world, then to decide if her aspiration would be more likely be to play basketball for a living or to work as a drone for the Bureau of Basketball Regulation. She got the point. Working in a bureaucracy is a filter to make sure you get only the WORST candidates available. She actually got the point. So to assume that politicians were the best at something, the "something" would have to be tyranny, which doesn't really help their case.
