The Kenyan is arming ISIS. They are and are coming here. They are used to weaponry.

Every time he does this gun and ammo sales soar. Sure, there are more new gun owners every time, but it’s the current gun owners that account for most of the sales.

The only way they can do significant gun confiscation (which really means killing gun owners) is under the aegis of a crisis such as a war, economic collapse. It won’t be called martial law, it will be a state of emergency and full dictatorship.

“Is there a single Republican who will stand up to this thug?”

Doesn’t matter. If it’s registration, or restrictions on selling or buying from one another, we will simply ignore his diktat.
We know our `fearless GOP champions’ will do nothing.
So let’s start talking about a Conservative party now and start creating it on November 2nd, when our GOP-e critters start licking their wounds.
In the meantime, he can do what he wants to do and we will do what we want; he knows we wouldn’t follow him into a free buffet with beer and topless pole dancers, so he’s just blowing off.

F*** the little b*tch. Defy Obama. We are sick of tolerating that scum bag's arrogant little mouth, and someone needs to slap some stupid out of him.

Defy him. The ignorant little bastard will be out in a little over a year, and we can foot drag till then.

Excellent, excellent point.

Ultimately, it's not Congresshole Ryan's job to stand up to tyrants like Bathhouse Barry. It's OUR job.

We just need to remove wimps like Ryan from power as quickly as possible. And without all the perqs.

Although I doubt we will be able to accomplish that for quite some time.

The perq thing I mean. Hopefully the people of Wisconsin will replace him next November.

Nothing he wants to do would even have delayed any of the mass shootings he claims he can stop. Nothing. It’s all about domestic politics and hurting his enemies.

Obama, frustrated by Congress, plans unilateral gun control steps.”

In other words, Obama will subvert the Constitution with the approval and encouragement of McConnell, Ryan, and all the Congressional Republicans. Republicans belong to the leather crowd and swoon with pleasure when Obama slaps them around.

He hopes to begin a civil war before his term is up.

The real threat flying under the propaganda noise...

H.R.4269 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2015
http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3378551/posts?page=17#17

...a threat that you can do something about along with any unconstitutional executive orders. Contact your members of Congress. They’ve stopped gun control efforts for years up to this point in time.

And don’t listen to the concern trolls. Take action instead.

as well as ...

The threat of a thing (confiscation) is more powerful than the thing itself.

We got rid of a senator, Lugar, who forgot who brung him to the dance, too many compliments to Democrats, etc.
My rep may be getting his walking papers, chairman of the House policy committee or not. They said, “Give us the Congress.”
We did. But the last speaker was more concerned about the “institution of the House of Representatives”.
So we get a lot of big talk, but no conservative group steps up and says, “We’re running Rep. _______!”, and now we’re stuck with `J. Boehner Jr’. They just gave money to the child killer/butchers, after feigning outrage .....
Like a minister/priest/Rabbi, elders and deacons who spend too much time polishing the brass door knobs and counting the collection plate, they’ve forgotten that the Capitol building is just a building, that we pay their salaries, that they work for us and that we’re not happy with them.
My own critter gives me a lot of soft soap and form letters. I don’t have his back anymore.
McCain, Ryan, Graham—all of `em. All of the Dem-lite party.
Vote `em out! Conservative Party. It’s way overdue.

Reduce gun crime? Bomb Mexico instead of Syria. Stop the Cartels.

But they would fight back, unlike ISIS.

Last night my daughter treated 4 heroin overdoses in a ten hour shift. Cartel heroin is killing more people in this country every day than ISIS. You want to stop filling our jails and courtrooms with gang bangers and degenerates? Stop the Heroin flow into this country.

What exactly is Obama going to do that will keep me from obtaining weapons or hanging on to the ones that I possess?

Thanks for posting that. I was going to do it myself..
It has been driving me crazy that here is a bill to ban nearly all semi-automatic firearms and magazines with 10 round or more capacity, that has 96 co-sponsors (Nearly 1/4 of the entire House SPONSORING a gun ban bill), Yet all the coverage goes to 0bama’s empty threats and maybe Seattle’s gun and ammo tax.

And thanks to you for writing a great and accurate synopsis of the bill and the real problem of distractions published by news media.

He doesn’t care.IMHO, after two terms in office he will cancel the elections and say: “Why have elections when the people have already spoken?”
