Biden: Obama Considering 'Executive Order' to Deal With Guns

"The president is going to act," said Biden, giving some comments to the press before a meeting with victims of gun violence. "There are executives orders, there's executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required."

Biden said that this is a moral issue and that "it's critically important that we act."

Biden talked also about taking responsible action. "As the president said, if you're actions result in only saving one life, they're worth taking. But I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm's way if we act responsibly."

Biden, as he himself noted, helped write the Brady bill.

Eric Holder was scheduled to be at the meeting that's currently taking place at the White House.

disarm criminals , hell they can;t or wont check to see about who should be legally voting.

The left and most folks today think rights come from Govt, homo rights, cross dressing rights, abortion right right, etc, no our rights come from the constitution which the left hates as it stops them from forcing all their agenda.

2nd amendment is udner attack
the 10th amendment has been under attack
the first amendment has been underattack, making churches and employers pay for abortion, contraception, accepting cross dressing turd feces pokers, all against freedom of religion.

WHERE THE HELL IS OUR SIDE ON THIS AND OTHER AMENDMENTS, stop this reaching out and go out and frigging fight for once, that is what you were voted to do.

As for those idiots in those blue states which voted for this and has a gun then this shows how frigging dumb you lot are.

The 2nd Amendment says “arms” not “firearms”.

“Arms” can include light sabers, whiffle bats, sharp sticks, 40-watt plasma rifles, etc. Think outside the box.

Well i would like to think we could manage a resolution short of the Framers ultimate insurance policy.

6,000,000 Jews liked to think that they would ultimately be left alone to live peaceful lives.

The problem is that you already voted your likes...and you lost.

I want to help, so I'll word Obama's executive order for him.

I, President Okenya, hereby issue this Executive Order, to be in effect immediately:

"All firearms are hereby banned and illegal to possess. I am ordering all sworn police officers to immediately suspend the enforcement of general laws, and to concentrate on confiscating weapons from their owners. Anyone resisting the police is to be summarily executed, and I, President Okenya, and my State, shall stand behind the officer.

So let it be written. So let it be done."

Article IV Section 4 says "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government..."

An executive order on the people of the United States violates the Republican Form of Government because the order is not the result of representative legislation.

got mine flying on the vehicles and in the front yard.

To hell with these socialists who come down here or want their socialist state to be pushing their agenda onto us.

The amount of times I;ve met these socialists moving ere and are surprised we can have fires in our yards, we can shoot in our yards we have and carry guns, or if they see hunters and then get all shocked.
screw them.
If they don;t like the flag they can piss off too

EXACTLY

The feds back then forced the first shot and got what they wanted and it seems bozo and his socialists are doing the same.

Well my battle flag flies as I type this in the yard and on the vehicles too and if those liberal ass holes don;t like it then tough they can move back

That would be an act of war.

It’s unconstitutional. Only the Congress can make a law. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. We can not have our property seized without due process.

How is it that the US Constitution protects illegal aliens, mentally handicapped, Islamic terrorists and other human debris, but not me?

How is it that the US Constitution empowers our government and disempowers the American people?

From wikipedia:

To date, U.S. courts have overturned only two executive orders: the aforementioned Truman order, and a 1995 order issued by President Clinton that attempted to prevent the federal government from contracting with organizations that had strike-breakers on the payroll.[8] Congress was able to overturn an executive order by passing legislation in conflict with it during the period of 1939 to 1983 until the Supreme Court ruled in Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha that the “legislative veto” represented “the exercise of legislative power” without “bicameral passage followed by presentment to the President.”[9] The loss of the legislative veto has caused Congress to look for alternative measures to override executive orders such as refusing to approve funding necessary to carry out certain policy measures contained with the order or to legitimize policy mechanisms. In the former, the president retains the power to veto such a decision; however, the Congress may override a veto with a two-thirds majority to end an executive order. It has been argued that a Congressional override of an executive order is a nearly impossible event due to the supermajority vote required and the fact that such a vote leaves individual lawmakers very vulnerable to political criticism.

Probably a disturbingly-large percentage.

he has the media and because of the media he has been made a frigging hero to the great unwashed.

Blacks still come out and vote for him though they are in more of a worse state.
idiot yankee liberals still vote for him because they watch the view and think homo’s should have rights but gun owners who protect their families should not, hell they do not even know where the rights come from anymore.

At least once a week I sit down wiht my kids and go over where our rights come from and what is right and wrong, the issue of homo’s came up last week and I asked them to ask anyone who states they should have all these special rights to show them where in the constitution.

If anyone states guns are the problem then tell them why is my SIG just sitting there not harming anyone.

Funny when a media sheep obama voter finds out I have guns they become surprised and shut up because they think all gun owners live in dumps, have no teeth etc.
Hell I have one of the nicest houses around here and when neighbors have their family visiting them we see them staring at my battle flag and look surprised LOL
