Keep calling your Reps (Fed & State), keep buying guns, keep buying ammo, go to the range and join a pro-2nd-amendment group. Don’t let up on these commie bastards one bit.
“I’ve never seen a single story about a malfunctioning gun lock or safe. Is that really a problem?”
They will find that a Fort Knox safe does not offer enough protection from forced entry, and the “gun lockers” at WalMart are even worse.
The government specs a Class 5 safe as being OK. Can you afford one, will your floor take the weight of one? Or three.
They aren’t executive orders.
Number 9 is an odd one. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.
Basically, you are going to hunt in Tennessee, and leave your southern Georgia home on Friday morning. Half-way there...you get stopped by some county wannabe cops. They see the hunting rifles in the trunk, and decide that this warrants a criminal investigation...thus seizing your guns. Naturally, this will take an entire day, and the odds are...they won’t release the guns until Monday morning. Your choice? Spend at least one night at a local hotel, or drive home to forget the hunt, and return the next week to retrieve your guns.
This would be a heavily abused deal and would help local economies generate more hotel stays.
On the surface, these appear too innocuous, but like the one about training gun sellers about private transfers, either the other shoe is going to fall, or some jurisdictions mandate this.
One of the REAL issues with gun laws is the plethora of conflicting, contradictory and confusing rules, regulations and laws by individual jurisdictions.
OK. I’ve read them all now and found that they are completely worthless but has he done anything to out right ban anything?
He can bloviate all he wants as long as he doesn’t make any new laws on his own or bypass the constitution. Obama’s full of s***, nothing new here that I can see.
What happens if my doctor asks if I own any guns (he won’t) and I lie and tell him no? Is it now illegal to lie to a doctor?
“14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence. “
Clinton used CDC to prepare clearly bogus reports about “gun violence” (I see from the news that you MUST say violence after you say gun), so Congress passed a law stopping that. I don’t remember the details. Maybe it was an EO or PDD from GHWB.
#13 Would that include prosecuting DOJ and BATF employees for violating gun laws and committing gun crimes?
By the way, is there any law on the books that says I even have to own gun locks or a gun safe? I don’t own any such items. My gun is worthless in a safe. It’s doing quite well on the night stand by my bed, it’s been there for several years now and still hasn’t shot anybody.
“15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies. “
Fascist directives to manufacturers, to make “smart guns” or “microstamping guns” or guns with mag safeties, chamber indicators, radio trackers, or anything else to make them too expensive or impractical.
Do you mean HIPPA, instead of COBRA?
Given the current slate of nominees for vacancies, I suppose we can expect Hizzoner Michael Bloomberg to be nominated.
Re: 10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns
It may turn out lots of them lost in the same lake/
Kidding aside, this is good analysis.
10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.
They already have that in place. It is called The National Crime Information Center.
Snip.. About the records: The NCIC database currently consists of 21 files. There are seven property files containing records of stolen articles, boats, guns, license plates, parts, securities, and vehicles. There are 14 persons files, including: Supervised Release; National Sex Offender Registry; Foreign Fugitive; Immigration Violator; Missing Person; Protection Order; Unidentified Person; U.S. Secret Service

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
The ability to now have a government/private mental health weenie decide if you are capable/incapable of owning/operating a gun is the worst. What sane mental health wizard would err on YOUR side rather than say no, he/she is not capable of owning a gun? And if you get angry about it, it supports the diagnosis. Compare this to the child services wingnuts who have waaaay too much power to wreak havoc on someone’s life. This dovetails right into the recent new definitions for classifying nutjobs.
The design of a gun lock and the design of a gun safe can (and are sometimes) defeated by owners who either fail to use them or fail to use the properly or responsibly. But, don't worry, politicians like Obama will keep demanding (again and again) they be redesigned to defeat any and all idiots and negligent owners until those redesigns alone raise the costs to the point people will quit buying guns or gun safes - the intention of all such legislation in the first place (how can we make this "bad" stuff too expensive).
Actually, regardless of the merits of any of the proposals that Obama suggests the federal government do without any new federal legislation, many of them can be done better by the state and local authorities, on their own authority (if it really ought to be done).
So, how long before we have to get a background check to exercise our right Freedom of Speech? Freedom of Religion?
Personally, I think having a background check to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights is a violation of my 4th Amendment rights!
What have I done that would warrant such a invasion of my privacy?
The devil is in the details and they will hide that.
Obozo is a Lying Commie B_tard and he servest the father-of-lies.
