Emotional Obama vows gun control ‘without Congress’
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/18/13 | Spiering

Posted on 04/18/2013 11:22:41 AM PDT by pabianice

President Obama was visibly angry during his press conference yesterday, voicing disappointment with the Senate for failing to pass an amendment requiring universal background checks for gun sales.

The president, however, insisted it was still possible to “bring about meaningful changes that reduce gun violence” outside of Congress.

“Even without Congress, my administration will keep doing everything it can to protect more of our communities,” Obama insisted. “We’re going to address the barriers that prevent states from participating in the existing background check system. We’re going to give law enforcement more information about lost and stolen guns so it can do its job. We’re going to help to put in place emergency plans to protect our children in their schools.”

Obama encouraged disappointed anti-gun activists to make their voices heard in the 2014 midterm elections. Sign Up for the Politics Digest newsletter!

“[I]f this Congress refuses to listen to the American people and pass common-sense gun legislation, then the real impact is going to have to come from the voters,” he added.

We have the ability to impeach Presidents, but when the system becomes so corrupt as to deny that right to remove from office those who usurp power & authority...treason becomes the order of the day.

How many times have we seen posted even here on FR, that the administration is treading dangerously close to treason. Some might say he is already way over that line, but we are indeed powerless to bring to bear what should be the power of the Congress. When I hear congress critters talk about the President’s Agenda, it makes me believe that person needs to be removed from office. They are not there to represent the President’s Agenda, they are there to represent We The People.

The more the Congress moves to represent the President, the more America becomes the monster. The treason is not in the White House per say, the treason is in Congress as they continue to do the bidding of the Executive Branch. The power to stop lawlessness in the Executive Branch rests with Congress, in fact it is their responsibility. As such it is my humble observation that Pelosi, Reid and a number of congressional leaders fail to uphold their honest responsibility.

Yep.The one who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy speaks lies as his native language. And his servants do the same. They will always be at war with truth, life, and prosperity, and the God who gave His life to win us back - to all those things and He who gives them - from our true enemy, the devil.
