My main concern is the effect his words alone will have on prices and availability on everything from guns and magazines to ammo.

"President Obama will address gun control in the near future."

Good.

Maybe he would follow the Swiss model and have the citizens get more range time and keep gov't issued automatic weapons at home.

It's a European Model.

Yep. Time to buy some more of both tomorrow before Obama makes his ban guns speech and the prices double again.

Should help gun and ammo sales. Obama earns "Gun Salesman of the Year" award for the third year in a row!

Presidential Executive Order and/or hidden health “issue” clauses will begin gun confiscation. Where did you guys get the Constitutional Republic concept? Doesn’t exist.

There are politicians I would trust on gun control.

But the anti-American communist in our White House is not one of them. "Shall not be infringed" has a clear meaning.

A congress that passes Obama care might pass national registration-confiscation, and even if the did not he could XO it. The Messiah has never worried about the Constitution before, Even to qualification. After all, the C is out of date, anyway, being written by a bunch of dead white men.

Still won't happen. There's 60 million gun owners. How many JBTs can she dig up?

Presidential Executive Order and/or hidden health “issue” clauses will begin gun confiscation.

And judicious use of the second amendment for its intended purpose will stop it.

Well he doesn’t need Congress to ultimately do great harm. He can do enough damage thru EO and regulatory legal opinions to be enforced by the ATF, IRS, DEA, ICE, FBI, DHS, et al...

They would come not in the form of regulations targeted directly at us, but targeted at federally licensed dealers. They could include moves to create license ammo dealers, gun parts dealers, and to further complicate and bury FFL’s under such draconian regulatory requirements that make it no longer financially beneficial to operate an FFL.

I could see magazines reclassified as “firearms components” and subject to ATF licensing regulations.

Imagine these regulations so complicated, so heavy handed, far reaching and so detailed that every single gun dealer needed a full-time lawyer and accountant on staff just to sell a gun a gun part or a box of ammo.

You think this is not possible?

Stroke of the pen, law of the land my friends...

And courts are very reluctant to touch regulatory actions.

Obama doesn’t need Congress.
