As a result of Vice President Joe Biden’s task force to explore changes to gun laws, the Center for American Progress, an influential liberal think-tank funded by George Soros, has released 13 recommendations to “prevent gun violence in our nation.”

Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, told Fox News Sunday that her group will “absolutely” mount a full-scale campaign to push for more gun control.

The proposal targets three key areas:...

There's a reason they have recommended several "executive action" items. You can bet these are the areas Obama will hit first, without Congress.

Agree. Soros has been Obama’s puppet master from the get go.

George Soros is not an American citizen and has no constitutional rights. He in interfering with the internal workings of our country.

I wonder if ole soros dresses up in full nazi regalia, and gives the heil hitler in front of a full length mirror, the whole time acting like a giddy little school girl. Creepy, yet plausible.

Soros wasn't born here, and he was a Nazi ~ all of which is bad ~ he's even a convicted criminal in France and if he went to Greece, Korea or Thailand they'd probably have him shot on sight.

He lives here ~ and he's probably a citizen ~ and he's not honest. Yet the Democrats adore the man.

"The proposal targets three key areas:..."

Why the cliffhanger? FR allows a 300 word excerpt.

Maybe you're the author, and you want us to click through to rack up the hits on your piece. Is that it? Are you the author?

Much of the language is loaded. "Military grade weapons" is an inaccurate description of a semiauto Bushmaster, for example.

Further, are my M-38 Swede Mauser and Swiss K-31 open to being defined under the blanket of "military grade"?

We need people smarter than I am to go through this stuff ahead of time and catalog items likely to be abused, keeping in mind that a total ban is the ultimate goal.

The gun grabbers ARE building a foundation for further steps.

We must stay ahead of them.

First, there are already more than 20,000 gun control laws actively on the books today and none of them prevented this tragedy. Second, millions upon million of people in America own guns and 99.9999% of them have never and will never do anything like this.

So, let’s lose the hysteria and analyze the facts - a PERSON did this, NOT a hunk of steel. In Portland, a PERSON killed two people in the mall, NOT a hunk of steel! In Denver, a PERSON shot up the theater, NOT a hunk of steel!!

NONE of these facts will matter to the gun-grabbing nanny-staters, because they focus solely on the gun and nothing else. So, what happens if ALL guns are outlawed and forcibly collected by the feds? Someone bent on committing mass murder may turn to knives, hatchets, chainsaws or machetes. So, we outlaw those. The next person to commit a heinous crime may use a bat, poison, poison gas or a semi-tractor. And the one after that may use a car, a pen or pencil, a rock, his hands . . . . . . so when do we blame the PERSON and NOT the inanimate weapon!???

The fact remains that until the left understands that murdering humans by ANY means including their favorite method, abortion, human life will be valueless and more copycats will come out to exercise their demented mass murder of innocent people.

All of that said, it occurs to me that the gun-grabbers are from the leftist school of complete control. What that means is that if 1 person commits a gun crime then, under the leftist theory of the “collective” and “groupthink”, they believe that ALL gun owners will commit mass murder unless they eliminate guns (good luck with that!). So, the calls for more gun control by the left after these incidents is twofold - eliminate the “balance of power” the Founding Fathers so carefully wove into the Constitution and gain total control over the people.

Another part that affects all of this is the fact that laws, whether gun laws, robbery laws, or whatever, are written solely to affect law-abiding citizens. People who commit crimes are called “outlaws” and criminals because they DON’T adhere to the laws created to control or stop their illegal activities.

So, should the left create additional gun control laws, will it prevent the next gun-related crime? Of course not. Laws only affect those of us who obey them. Those who disregard the law won’t be stopped from committing whatever crime they want to commit.

As a final note, Adam Lanza did not own the guns he used to murder all of the people at Sandy Hook Elementary. They were his mother’s guns and they were all legally purchased and registered. Which begs the question, what will any NEW gun control laws accomplish?

From the article:

Take military-grade weapons off the streets and out of criminals’ hands

Legislative proposals

Reregulate assault weapons

Ban high-capacity gun magazines

Executive action

Require broader reporting of multiple sales of assault rifles?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How, pray tell, would these proposals disarm criminals who already illegally purchase, own and use illegal weapons.?

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!!! That's right Nancy, it won't!!!

“Soros wasn’t born here, and he was a Nazi”

I don’t think he was a party member was he? He was one of their little helpers.
