Texas governor challenges Obama to 'come and take' the Lone Star state's guns
UK Daily Mail ^ | 3 January 2016 | Kelly McLaughlin

Posted on 01/03/2016 1:34:00 AM PST by Windflier

Texas Gov Greg Abbott criticized President Barack Obama's plan to move ahead with possible executive actions on guns in a tweet in which he told the Commander-in-Chief to 'come & take' the state's guns.

Obama said in his weekly radio address that he is looking for ways to keep guns out of the hands of 'a dangerous few' without depending on Congress to pass a law on the fraught subject of gun control.

He plans to meet his attorney general, Loretta Lynch, on Monday to see what executive actions might be possible. Steps to strengthen background checks could come this week.

At a rally in Biloxi, Mississippi, tonight Donald Trump also pledged to undo any action Obama takes on gun control if he wins the next election.

“Progressives” know full well there are already copious laws against guns, racism, despoiling the environment, all their “causes.” They just make believe there aren’t so they can keep the agitation going.

They’ve been trying since Obama was inaugurated to turn the clock back to the ‘60s and ‘70s, as if nothing had happened in the interim. The “why” is obvious, the “grievance industry” had fallen on hard times, and all those in that line of work wanted their fat paydays back. Agitating and roiling up the country is the way they make their bucks.

They’re shameless and evil.

“THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME.”

Can’t be. I was told here that the 2012 election was the most important in our lifetime. Come to think of it, I was told that in 2008 also.

Maybe it’s just one more RINO trick to get us to vote for their li’l’ RINO.

I’m not glad the NFA was passed, and I’m not happy about the Hughes Amendment.

>>“THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME.”<<

I said this for two reasons. First, overthrow the establishment RINOs and take back the Republican party. Secondly, Put a conservative that is America/American worker first in the White House.

The RINOs in the Senate/House could cause a shift in power from Republicans to Democrats because of their shenanigans. Then think of another democrat in the White House along with one or more chambers democrat once again.

The supreme court will be tilted toward the progressive socialist. Kiss your second amendment rights good freakin by.

Voting laws need to be changed, for both the country and legislative.

E-Verify for elections.

For Congress and the Senate, no abstaining from voting and no voting “present.” Do away with the simple majority; the less they do, the better off the country is. A failure to vote say, three times would be contempt of their oath. Involuntarily removed from their seat, and thrown in jail.

I have been waiting for 7 years for this dimwit to leave the Oval Office.

What makes you think he'll leave office? Dictators hold on to the reigns of power until they die, either of old age (or disease), or are assassinated.

Unless he has the military on his side, he's leaving no later than noon January 20, 2017.

He may rig the election to get Hillary in—or cancell the election because of some crisis (like Civil war) ofn get congress to give him a 3rd term. GOP might even support that move—they cave on all he asks for.Supream Court would give it an OK (he has something on the Chief Justice). We may have Obama for life.

You probably are right.

IIRC he was there to stump for Cochran.

He unfurled that flag on stage, part of the sham to show that Cochran was a 2nd amendment Conservative type.

Then of course the eGOP called on the dems to vote the old traitor back into office.

What with all the fraud and cheating, a law suit was filed to remove fraudulent voted but was thrown out.

I understand that Northern California has a fairly “popular” secession movement going - and, rather ironically, they are want to call the new state ‘Jefferson.’

My understanding is that, in the terms used at the time of drafting and ratification, “arms” meant any weapon that a common foot soldier could carry into battle, whereas “ordinance” is a reference to heavy weaponry, such as canon, which a common soldier could not carry into battle ...

Therefore, this would exclude any American citizen from, er-uh, “keeping and bearing” an Abrams Tank ... However, I see no problem with a 30 or 50 cal machine gun, bazooka, mortar, etc - since any of those could be carried by a common foot soldier ... Well, OK, the 50 cal would be a rather heavy piece of “arms” to carry around, unless you’re Rambo.

well, let me know ahead of time so I can get a plane ticket down south.

no use here in NYC.

but by then I suspect flight would have been severely curtailed.

I’ve never served, but aren’t they trained to follow orders? What makes you think they’ll disobey orders from their commander in chief?

I’m with Governor Abbot 100%-f*** Obama, his boot lickers and the horse they rode in on. The liberal lunatics obviously don’t understand that when a Texas leader shows the Come and Get It flag, they are recalling/reminding us of a massacre that fired our ancestors up-it is about as serious as it gets. We have an awful lot of military-and bases-here, and most of our ancestors who came here were rebels from some other country-as far as I can see, that hasn’t changed...

Because they're not the Clone Army and Obama is not Emperor Palpatine giving Order 66. They swore to uphold the Constitution. If the Liberal Messiah attempted a coup, their oath would require them to stop Him.
