Biden: Obama Prepared to Take Executive Action On Gun Control

[txradioguy]

President Obama will likely take executive action in an effort to tamp down the recent rash of gun violence, Vice President Biden said Wednesday.

“The president is going go act,” said Biden, who is conducting meetings all week on gun control. “There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet, but we're compiling it all.”

He said last month's Newtown, Conn., tragedy — which took the lives of 20 elementary school children — “touched the heart of the American people so profoundly” and “requires immediate, urgent action.”

Biden sat beside Attorney General Eric Holder as he met with gun-control leaders, including the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, along with victims of gun violence, including survivors of the Virginia Tech University shooting and the stepfather of a victim in last summer's Aurora, Colo., shooting.

“I want to make clear that we're not going to get caught up in the notion that, unless we can do everything, we're going to do nothing,” Biden said. “It's critically important we act.”

I forget who it was but someone from the 0bama camp said before the election they would work around congress. It may have been Valerie Jarret.

I was on George Ure's site yesterday, and he posted an email that someone had sent him.  They said that Obama could have issued executive orders banning Internet sales/transfers of guns and ammunition on December 15th, if he wanted to.  Instead, he chose to wait until Slow Joe Biden's 'task farce' comes back with its' recommendations at the end of January.  In the meantime, there's a buying frenzy in the US.  People are getting armed up.  Some people who one would never think would buy firearms and ammunition are buying them.  Why?  They're scared. 

But, if he could have done this and didn't then, the big question (probably for a closed part of the board) is . . .

Why?

Why wait?

Maybe the Oministration wants Americans to be armed to the teeth.  Again, why?

(The emailer actually did suggest a reason, but Ure was in this mode: )

Sgt. Long Ears seems to have hit upon Occam's explanation, HERE.  It makes sense: You can't declare an emergency unless you have a justification, however trumped up.

Would there be an the eradication of German Jewry in the Holocaust if they were allowed to have guns in Nazi Germany ? .

  After five years of repression and eradication of dissidents, Hitler signed a new gun
control law in 1938, which benefitted Nazi party members and entities, but denied
firearm ownership to enemies of the state. Later that year, in Kristallnacht (the Night
of the Broken Glass), in one fell swoop, the Nazi regime disarmed Germany’s Jews.
Without any ability to defend themselves, the Jewish population could easily be sent
to concentration camps for the Final Solution.

Rwanda of 1994 will have nothing on this coming civil war.

The sad thing is, either the progressives are sadly fooling themselves about the forces they can marshall to their cause, or we are.  Either way, it's going to be a bloodbath.

Executive orders only apply to the administration of the executive branch of government.

 They aren't laws. They are bureaucratic rules for bureaucrats.

 They were never intended to apply to the citizenry.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is not negotiable... even to a black Kenyan Marxist.

And you be sure to tell them that when he has DHS troopies come collect your weapons.  We'll cover you.

If a civil war starts, how many points do I get for shooting MSM news people?

.. a black Kenyan Marxist. doesn't understand the rule of law.

True, and I'm having difficulty seeing where any such authority with respect to the internet comes into play; I suppose he could effectively shut down the FBI background checks with an EXORD, either for a certain class of weapons or altogether, but at a certain point even that runs into some statutorily-imposed requirements he can't negate by order.

DLR--WHY THE **** ARE YOU STILL IN CA????

Even a cop needs 10 days before he can pick up a weapon he purchased unless he has a specific letter from his/her Chief stating why they need that weapon in a lesser timeframe.

I've purchased several weapons in NH and you know what the longest wait I've had was?  Following the guy from Kittery Trading Post to the KTP Exchange on the NH Route 1 Bypass in Portsmouth...about 10 minutes away after I passed my 5-10 minute background check.

And yet douchenozzles like Piers Morgan are still on CNN claiming how we're such a "violent" society yet where I live is as NON-VIOLENT as anyplace in America.

Do they not understand the disconnect?

born and raised here.  Have deep roots here, but I'm growing to hate the "golden state" every day.  At least Im comfortably ensconsed in South Orange County but am seriously thinking about moving to Texas down the road when I retire.

Ya know what--so was I.  But even I knew when it was a lost cause.

Will Obama have to use Executive Orders, or can he use regulatory agencies such as the BATF to issue new rules and directives?  Weren't they going to do something like that regarding gun sales in Texas a couple of years ago?

How about bringing the Department of Homeland Security into the mix?  I think there are many ways for Obama to sidestep congress and implement his regime's goals. 

Could the Department of education issue a rule banning all guns within 5 miles of a school?

[JohnnyReb]

Obama likes to wipe his ass on The Constitution.....too bad the founding fathers didn't have 40 grit sandpaper to write on back then.

[Eupher]

Listened to Michael Savage last night on the way home from rehearsal. He was in rare form. 

"What are you going to do when Obama takes your guns? I want to know. I have just a couple rules on this show - no threats and no violence."

Violence on a radio show? 

[NHSparky]

MOLON LABE.  I guess we're gonna find out sooner rather than later.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Oh, they're not crazy enough to think that would work...no, they'll just outlaw everything, and then prosecute the people they actually find holding when they come into law enforcement hands for other reasons...like fighting a fire at your house, serving a warrant on the wrong address, a traffic stop where they decide to search your car, a relative who doesn't know your vacation plans can't reach you and sends the cops to your house to make sure you're okay...

I moved to NJ for a job right after they passed their AWB, leaving everything that violated it with relatives out of state...only a couple of hundred weapons out of an estimated couple of million were actually registered in the entire state, but there was no effort to track down the holdouts.  Every time the cops went into somebody's house for some other reason and found anything that violated the AWB, though, they'd arrest them for that and so 'Assault weapon crime' shot through the roof after the law compared to beforehand, because every one of those passive possession arrests was now 'Gun Crime with an AW.'

If I could win the powerball there would be many smiling faces at the gun stores and a well armed person after that.

[Wineslob]

What I've been getting from the MSM is it'll be more of what's already been done. Brady Act, wait times, etc..

I think Biden's backing off on an all-out ban.

Now, what the Big 0 wants to do.........

Hi5. You hit the nail on the head.
Obama will attempt to make gun ownership so onerous that people will willingly give them up.
--He's in for a big surprise. Canadians refused (en masse) to register their guns and the liberal govt gave up a few years later.

1) I'm expecting a national registry to come out of this. First step to confiscation.
2) I think we will find out why TSA purchased all those hollow points (ammo denied by law for police).
3) TSA may turn into a national police force..every dictator needs a secret police.
