Obama's last gasp effort at gun control

The Department of Justice is getting ready to issue up to a dozen new regulations directly assaulting the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.

The regulations represent a final effort by the Obama administration to impose restrictions on gun ownership before the president leaves office in 2016.

Final effort? Uh, not likely. The drive to INFRINGE on the 2nd amendment has hoards of momunists, politicains, gazillionaires, and many others who know what's best for the peons. They're just chomping at the bit to make the country "safe" by using "commonsense" rules and regs. Well, they can bite me. Hey Nevadans, have you checked on the 2016 initiative that'll make it a crime to sell you buddy a gun without a trip to your local FFL for an intergalactic background check? Trust me, the momunists and bloomers and margabby kelly-giffords will be here in force next year to feed the UPOS/LPOS/SPOS/IPOS to vote to infringe on you just a little more once again.

They are going after misdemeanor domestic violence offenders.
A relative of mine had a pretty serious fight with his girlfriend during which he grabbed her cellphone for a short period of time before giving it back to her. For this he was charged with “Illegal Imprisonment”, a misdemeanor but considered a domestic charge. As a result he is never able to possess a gun for the rest of his life due to taking her phone for like three minutes while he tried to calm her down.
How long before we are all prohibited from owning “dangerous firearms” due to propensity to visit anti-tyrannical government websites?

Lucky for us the republiCAN’Ts are in control of both houses to protect us now. Oh, wait.......... Kinda like the pubs being in control of the assembly and senate in NV. Didn’t seem to do us much good this session. And we voted for these asshats why? Oh yeah. Promises. Just as bad as the dems anymore.

High powered pistols....

AR-15s can be configured in a pistol configuration. The registered part is the AR-15 lower. It can and has been used to build pistols and high powered rifles such as .50 BMG. Judging from past actions, the BATF would consider any AR-15 lower to be a high powered pistol. Just saying...

Holding a cellphone for a few moments is “illegal imprisonment”? If someone moves another person’s cellphone is that “kidnapping? That is insane. I guess if he broke said cellphone it would be assault and battery.

“If America worked harder to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be fewer atrocities like the one that occurred in Newtown,” Obama said at the time.

Statistically, a majority of the "dangerous people" would be people who live in census tracts that traditionally vote for Democrats.

And demographics is the elephant in the room that they dare not talk about.

McConnell and Boehner are being blackmailed into complaisance. The Republican caucus is just being stupid.

The Living Constitution's revised 2nd Amendment:

The right of the Federal Government,it's designated subsidiary governments,and designated agents are to have the sole monopoly of arms which shall not be infringed.

Congress delegated rule making to these agencies and they need to rescind it.

Sounds about right. Also, peons can’t infringe on those agencies in performance of their duties either. Hello bizzarro world. The village idiot is on a rampage again.

Obama has been the most successful firearms salesman since the Civil War, and possibly in US history.

He promised the libs he'd do something, and he'll do "something", no matter how stupid and meaningless.

Right. Just like sobering up by sitting in your car with the keys in your pocket and the engine shut off is DRIVING while intoxicated. Even though you aren’t DRIVING. Government is out of control.
