Its time.
This is going to get ugly, very ugly.
Will the military stand with Zero in the event of a Civil War? Hopefully not.
I wonder if all the GOP governors are going to comply with this?
Führer Diktat.
All one has to do is examine what Obama has done on the international stage to see what he will do here. Nothing but death and destruction to Libya, Egypt and Syria. And now Iraq is destabilizing as is Afghanistan. Said he would be responsible for more deaths then anyone in human history about 3-4 years ago. And it looks like he is right on track. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Obama.
Might save “a life” on the one hand and cost many more on the other.
How will you quantify it anyway????
“Saved or prevented xxx lives”. ? ? ?
Does anyone know if an American President can legally issue an executive order that violates the constitution?
The courts will not uphold this. They know it is the end of their power if they allow the POTUS to become a dictator. They will protect their powers.
No he cannot.
He is not a member of the LEGISLATIVE branch.
The President cannot enact laws. Only the LEGISLATIVE branch can do that.
If he tries this, he is no better than a dictator.
He can do what he wants. We’re all going to be making our own executive decisions regarding this as well.
It is a moral issue and it deals with tyranny, and creating law to turn law-abiding people they can’t touch into criminals so they can go after them. This country is free because we are an armed populous. Plain and simple and every dictator around the world knows it. Tyrants only remain in power because they’ve disarmed the peons and they can’t fight back.
FUBO!/FUJB!
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."
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.

Does anyone think it odd that after action taken by his minions that would allow der 0berFuhrer emperor Hussein 0bama to serve unlimited terms, that he wants to seize our weapons?
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.
Does anyone have any idea what this reported Executive Order is going to say? I mean, actual information and not panicked, paranoid speculation?
