Nuthin`
Obama/Soetoro blinked.
Watsa` matta` Barry, scared to get Impeached ?
NRA/GOA need to organize a march by gun owners/2nd Amendment supporters on Washington “ala” Tea Party demo of 2010.
I must have missed the part where private sales require background checks... guess he stopped short of that.
This list looks like a clean whiff ...
I'm more worried about what the gov of Md is going to do.
Like Fast & Furious, right?
A bunch of bull, except for pushing Doctors to question patients about their firearms.
“What firearms Dr., and why are you asking me about that when I’m getting a prostate exam anyway?”
what an idiot....2nd amendment or not...this is all meaningless nonsense. the libholes must be pissed.
My guess is someone sat him down and explained the separation of powers to him at a third grade level and he finally figured out that president and king aren’t the same thing.
Executive Orders are administrative orders to agencies under the Executive Branch, and those entities that are dumb enough to believe that Obama can order them to do something. The actions he directs his agencies to execute must also have a legal basis in established Federal Statute.
IOW, I am not his employee. I am most certainly not his subject. I won’t give him my guns. I won’t register them.
#16 - Doctors will ask if you have guns in the home.
The whole purpose of this is to vilify gun owners and make them out to be lunatics.
Maybe we could start with asking if people are pedophiles? You know, people who really hurt children?
FUBO!
#14 is patently illegal. The prohibition against such research is currently the law of the land and will remain so until expiration of the current CR or the replacement or omission of the provision by some successive funding bill.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Except... I don't think Brian Terry's family is laughing.
LOL!!!!
So much Kobuki theater and cellophane window dressing. Can’t believe i waitex to watch this non-event.
” 16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes”
He can’t do it. It’s already been stripped from ObamaCare®.
For sure, nothing to see here. For once a victory.
Like I trust that guy...What’s the catch?
Hmmm. Why do I get the feeling that "challenge" here really means someting more like "force", "coerce", or otherwise "convince" the private sector to do this, whether the market is asking for it or not?
Now we know why the Hussein regime has been encouraging people to sign up for SSDI for mental health reasons, under the guise of running out of unemployment benefits. He wants to take away their guns for having psychological problems. Easy to do on this one.
“What firearms Dr., and why are you asking me about that when I’m getting a prostate exam anyway?”
Oh, and before we get into that Doc, could you explain what a Boundary Violation is?
One thing that comes through - if you want to keep your guns you better never seek medical help for any mental issues (even depression) you think you might have or for any substance abuse issues. If any issues like that hit your digital medical records database you will be SOL.
remember, the devil’s in the details! Who’s read the actual orders?
Get a load of the Gun Party Barry. It will be like the Tea Party on steroids.
Yeah, that’s not the finger I’m raising.
Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

This is the funny one. You mean, like people from SOUTH of the border — ones who kill American border agents? Perhaps they mean ....slipping through the BORDER!!
Pure political posturing...picking fights to build himself up and make proposals to give the impression he is accomplishing great things for the nation. A sad state of affairs that such “leaders” are given the public trust...
More liberal mental masturbation.
Why not spend the money on providing safe weapons training to youngsters and adults?
I agree, look for the fight to now shift to the state level.
By linking gun control to mental health hence obummercare, he can declare all gun owners as mentally ill.
The soviets favorite tactic was to label all dissidents as mentally ill to silence them
In the article it says he wants to ban clips holding more than 10 rounds (there’s a grandfather clause) but it’s not listed among the “directives”. Am I missing something?
I am trying to see what I missed. Basically its saying if someone is a certified nut they should be prevented from buying or owing weapons. Who can disagree with that?
I’m worried about MD, too. So far the worst things I’ve seen bandied about are a ban on mags over 10 rounds (right now the limit is 15) and adding more “assault weapons” to the banned list. O’Malley mentioned fingerprinting the other day but it wasn’t in the latest list of proposals that I saw.
I have a hair trigger on impeachment.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
Someone needs to setup a website that anyone can log into and report medical professionals who ask about fire arms in their patient’s homes. This would out the so called health care professionals and allow patriotic citizens to search for like minded health care providers.
Watch the other hand, folks.
Looks like a bunch of new government programs to me ...more reasons to spend more money we don’t have.
Doctors ALREADY sometimes ask if there are guns in the home.
I have an autistic son — if someone wants to advise me on how to best keep my guns locked up, I welcome that advice. Just not sure WHO is best to give me that advice ...an MD, or someone from the NRA?
I had a female pediatric doctor ask me (with my 4 year old son in the room) if I had any guns in the house. I told her I would answer her question if first she told me how many dildos she had in her house.
I then asked, “oh, I’m sorry, did you find that offensive? I find your question equally offensive.”
game, set, match.

What’s the source for this list? And why are you suspended or banned?
We’ve all been played.
Nothing in those executive orders that is an abuse of power that triggers articles of impeachment.
Was this a social reactive experiment carried out by the FedGov or something?
Who are you going to believe?
Your own lying eyes or King O'Dumbo's self-serving declaration?
Certainly such an important matter will require another 23 Czars!
I get it now. He’s proposing that congress pass a law banning clips that hold over 10 rounds. It’s not part of his “executive action”.
You forgot to use the work “sweeping”. It was in the memo. “Sweeping Whiff!”
This is when you drop trou and say “Doc, this my rifle and this is gun”......
And what idiot will go to a gun dealer to sell his weapon to his neighbor or friend?
Add # 24.............
Renew Fast and Furious Gun Running into Mexico where hundreds of Mexican children will be murdered. The hypocrisy is deafening.
Add #24
Develop a class system where federal politicians children are better than ordinary children,and deserving of armed gurads at school.
And if they ask my 12 yo girl the question she will tell them all about her 22 single shot plinker and the training she received at the NRA range.
My gp asked my high schooler about guns in the home. I imagine they immediately faxed the data to Sebelius.
These give a whole new meaning the the term “empty suit.”
