Trump slams possible Obama executive action on guns
CBS News ^ | January 2, 2016 | Reena Flores

Posted on 01/02/2016 7:48:42 AM PST by monkapotamus

Not long after President Obama announced that he was considering taking executive action to tighten gun control laws, Donald Trump decried the idea, saying he didn't like the possibility of altering the Second Amendment.

"I don't like it," Trump told "Face the Nation" moderator John Dickerson in an interview to air Sunday on CBS. "I don't like anything having to do with changing our Second Amendment..."

"Tremendous mental health problems -- nobody is doing anything about that..."

"All they want to do is blame the guns, and it's not the gun that pulls the trigger, so I don't like it," Trump added. "I don't like what he is doing..."

...and I am guessing the Trump has already staked out the ground and will pounce when Obama makes, if he makes, and actions. My prediction is that Trump will usurp the headlines and lead the conversation. Wouldn’t expect any less of Trump, especially as he is the clear frontrunner. Cruz and others will be crowded out, left to ‘me-too’ responses.

I hope they’re buying more than guns and ammo. I know people with a safe full of a guns and not a single holster or sling or magazine pouch. No LBE gear or sturdy boots. No helmets or body armor. Every time Obama speaks, they buy a new gun but if they had to actually fulfill a 2A duty, they’d have to carry everything in their kid’s book bag.

“possible”?

Hussein hates the three Cs:

Christianity
Constitution
Capitalism

The coming illegal proposition on guns is a full frontal assault on the second and third: the Constitution’s 2nd Amendment AND the small businessperson who sells a few weapons a year.

Hussein hates the three Cs.

Obama is going to do his absolute best to make sure the conservative grass roots are fired up and highly agitated come election day.

But, they would have something to carry, trade, or use. It’s pretty foolish to condemn them for at least having a plan, even if it isn’t up to your standards.
Anyway, most of us who have been around a while have that huge box gear that never quite met our needs. It looks like a match made in heaven.

Fortunately, there’s legal constitutional challenges to tie up these moves for months.

Then, every single executive action can be undone the second Trump moves into the Oval Office next January.

Good-bye Obama Agenda, we hardly knew ya.

“Catch me if you can.”

It is as if the Current Occupant is DARING the American people, anybody, to put a stop to him. Actually taking away his power, however, is something must be done - delicately.

Not because we want to prevent injury, but because, like a person standing on a tripped land mine that will blow the moment pressure is lifted from the triggering mechanism, a lot of collateral damage will come raining down.

Congress has failed again and again to act effectively to limit power, always trembling under the threat of a veto of any legislation designed to rein in the executive branch, or of fear of a filibuster and forced 60% majority in the Senate.

But MASSIVE resistance from the voters themselves, and widespread criticism of the Current Occupant and his minions, by social media and other means of communicating dislike and distrust of the Current Regime, may be the tools by which we may, if not dislodge the near-criminal occupants of the White Hut, at least put them on notice, and give them some sense of their impending disgrace.

That’s what I’m saying. They have no plan. Their plan is:

1) Buy a bunch of guns.
2) ?????
3) FREEEEEEEDOM!!

I’m not condemning them. I just want people to think about more than guns. I’ve found that a person who has never fired a weapon anyplace but a range with well-defined lanes tend to be bad gunhandlers when they are out in the open. They think in terms of always having that table laid out in front of them with all their gear. Their ability to focus on the target is based on having their one stationary target placed directly in front of them.

I’m not talking about buying a ninja suit made up of name-brand black tactical crap either. I’m just talking about getting them to think, “If I had to stop a zombie mob from burning down my neighborhood, what would I have to take with me?” Showing up with 3 rifles, each sighted in for a different range, a shotgun, and 5 handguns along with 2 mags for each weapon and the whole kit carries in your arms like you are carrying firewood is not going to save the neighborhood.

Because if they are expecting me to drag my extra holsters box out with me, they are mistaken. I certainly have no use for their mostly-untested guns, most of which still have the oil from the manufacturer on them.
