How did a Dem get the chair of a special House gun-grabbing committee?

Because it is a House Dems group with all Dem members. It has nothing to do with the official committee organization.

Gun Violence Prevention Task Force

It's not a House committee. It's an 'organization'.

The media is being vague, so that people think it's official.

Liars gotta lie.

He’s going to do this by executive order.....No way Dems in the House will give it to him.

There is no wasted action when defending our Constitution. Any pebble tossed onto their road to enslavement could cause their plans to topple like a fat SoS.

Works for me. If Obama wants a war it might as well be now before he has 4 more years to screw America.

He leads a "Task Force," not a standing Committee. Congressional Caucuses and Task Forces are formed by Members to provide a forum for discussion and analysis on issues and legislation. Good information on the House operates its Task Forces can be found at The Use of Task Forces in the House.

The White House and gun control supporters are gearing up for a whirlwind month, with plans to pass reform legislation before outrage over the Sandy Hook massacre has a chance to fade.

Fading...not going to happen you leftists at TPM.

An EO to turn in guns would be ignored in mass.

The campaign against the Republican House for 2014 has begun and they don’t have a wartime Speaker.

I don’t think O thinks much is going to pass and it sure is not going to pass quickly.

Bottom line: He wants to outlaw the most popular guns being sold in America today. It ain’t going to happen.

1. The NRA and every other group are going to be going strong on this.
2. We are going nicely register our discontent with our representatives and senators during this period. Be polite but firm when you talk with them.
3. There doesn’t seem to be any support for these initiatives in the general populace. None.

Epic fail is on the way.

Going to be anything but a rapid victory. Over 3 weeks now since Newtown and I believe resistance to any new legislation is galvanizing.

The media is doing all they can to create an air of inevitability. Feinstein’s bill is DOA but we can’t even entertain the idea of compromise.

I think some sort of compromise which includes universal registration is the course they most want to pursue. They want good records which will ultimately lead to firearms confiscation. The ultimate goal of every control freak.

I am becoming a gun owner for the first time ever. A pox on all their houses.

When the gun grabbers call for bans and limitations, go the other way. Offer tax breaks for gun manufacturers and dealers. Create MORE "loopholes".

If those DemoQuacks are so interested in protecting U.S. citizens then how about a quick victory over the Mexican drug cartels against whom the federal government to date has failed to protect us.

The federal government with all its weapons, laws and resources can’t stop the deadly Mexican drug cartels at the border, and cannot stop them from operating in hundreds of communities throughout the United States. And now the government want to disarm citizens to stop us from protecting ourselves against the narco terrorists and other criminal pyschopaths that run the streets? Citizens have the right to protect ourselves particularly when the government is unable or unwilling to protect us.

Obama is going to lay the blame for CW2 off on Joe Biden and that stupid SOB can’t even see it coming.

Absolutely...He and his minions were stupid enough to test the black market with "Fast and Furious"...

This is really about the evil mentally ill (and I do not believe insanity is ever a defense) and evil men in general.

laying the groundwork for their big push...

Poor editing. They misspelled putsch.

This "rapid" talk is more like "rabid" or "blitzkrieg-like".

I think they will have a tough time getting anything out of the Senate. Lots of red state senators up for re-election in 14. Reid knows that the Dems could very well lose the Senate because of this so look for him to give it lip service and then determine that there are just too many other pressing issues facing them to deal with it right away.

If, by chance, it does get out of the Senate it will get shuffled off to some committee in the House where it will rot for a while.

By that time we’ll be dealing with the debt limit and sequestration.
