White House: Obama Preparing More Executive Actions on Gun Control (tHEY ARE COMING FOR GUNS)
breitbart ^ | 10/5/15 | c spiering

Posted on 10/05/2015 1:58:09 PM PDT by bestintxas

The White House confirmed that President Obama was preparing a series of executive actions on gun control to match his recent passion on the issue after the latest mass shooting in Oregon.

“It’s a high priority and will continue to be until we start to see more progress on this issue in this town,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters today at the press briefing.

Earnest said he would “quibble” with anyone who criticized the president for not voicing any specific gun control proposals during his press conference, asserting that the White House was working behind the scenes for more executive actions on guns.

“I can tell you that they’re not stumped, they’re continuing to review the law that’s on the books and continuing to consult with legal authorities but also others who may have ideas about what steps that can be taken to keep guns out of the hands of criminals,” Earnest said.

He admitted, however that he had no details for what the White House was working on, but asserted that the process was a “scrub” that was “ongoing.”

Earnest welcomed Hillary Clinton’s own gun control proposals announced this morning, but admitted that he hadn’t seen the full details of the proposal.

The new speaker should not wait. No hesitation. There are more than enough grounds already to impeach this sob and he deserves it regardless of the gun issue. Even if they don’t have the votes for God’s sake, it will ensnare and distract this freak before he can do more mischief. Better yet, pass a law restricting “Executive Privilege “.

This will spell the end of the Democrat party.

And the Republican, too, if they don’t act decisively to stop him.

He cant take them. He knows he cant. He cannot do jack sh1t, and if he tries obvious unconstitutional crap, there will be responses.

"This will spell the end of the Democrat party."

The dirty little secret is that lots of Dems have guns. I can even find gun defenders on places like DummyUnderground.

What does Obama think he can do....executive order banning guns? Let him try.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, polkers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Gulag Achepelago)

Time to file those impeachment charges, Boner.

I asked my guns what they thought. I did this on the liberal assumption that they were responsible for mass shooting rather than the perpetrators. They informed me that they felt very comfortable and at home in my house. They are willing t6o do every thing they can to keep status quo. Who am I to argue with them?

There’s an estimated 350 million guns in the US. Be kinda tough to round em all up!

Great idea! This is genius.

Keep the lawless violent borders wide open, flood the country with tens of millions of illegal aliens, hundreds of thousands of Muslims, Mosques springing up everywhere, then severely restrict the guns!

That is right.

Any attempt at confiscation would also be met by the good County Sheriffs. And those sheriffs could deputize a whole bunch of good guys.

Interesting question. We do need to hear from any prospective SOH, in depth, on the topic of anti 2A attempts at gun control/confiscation.

Isn’t lopping off parts of the Constitution he swore on oath to protect and defend grounds for impeachment?

I realize it’s not a misdemeanor or high crime, but it sure meets my standard.

This Islamic fan dancer needs to go.

Yes. Boner is less useful than teats on a boar. But wouldn’t it be nice if he stops blocking articles of impeachment now that he’s leaving anyway? Sort of a going- away present? (We can dream ...)
