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.”
Political dissidents need not apply for a permit. You are criminals of the state who rally against your own "good". Swallow your Obamacare like a good child.
This is all a smokescreen. LOCK UP THE CRIMINALLY INSANE AND STOP TRYING TO PUSH THEM INTO NORMAL SOCIETY.
The pills don't work. Saying they "pass" for normal is just looking the other way to a potential ticking timebomb. They can kill with poison, planes, cars, knives, bombs, etc. Not just guns. Quit being stupid, America.
He said that he would direct congress to address the “assault” weapons ban and to limit the magazines to 10 rounds. About 1/4 of the speech was about his orders and the rest was castigating congress (because it’s always their fault) for lax gun control.

Obama blinked.
You may be on the right track. If you think you need guns to defend your home from tyranny a la the second amendment, you must be crazy, therefore, no guns 4 you. Bank on it.
Ryan in 2016.
I don’t know. The mental health angle bothers me. The Marxists took over that profession years ago. What if aspects of conservatism or a nebulous definition of religious extremism are defined by the mental health profession as “mentally ill”? Conservatives and Christians can’t have guns?????
They are playing chess and I doubt that the end game is something we like very much.
> “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?”
The question is WHO decides who is a certified nut. Biden (and many more Demoncrats) have called lawful gunowners “crazy” or “nuts” on many occasions.
We don't have all the facts yet. You don't spend 1/2 Billion on a Nothing Burger.
