Biden: 'The President Is Already Lining Up Some Additional Executive Actions' for Guns
Weekly Standard ^ | 4/18/13 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 04/18/2013 12:33:11 PM PDT by Nachum

Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take "executive actions" to deal with guns.

BuzzFeed reports:

Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill.

On a conference call with "stakeholders," Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.

"Look I know you're going to say that I'm just being an optimist and I'm trying to put a good face on this. But you know I've been around here a long time and we've already done, because of you, some really good things," Biden said. "Number one, the president is already lining up some additional executive actions he's going to be taking later this week."

Well can’t they at least see that if he can take away our Second Amendment rights by diktat, that he can do the same with their freedom of the press? They may not believe it now, but a day will come when what they want or need to report will clash with what he wants them to report.

Of course! If ZerO can’t get what he wants the Constitutional way, he’ll just break the law!

As horrendous as it would be, it may turn out open CW could be the only viable option for the survival of America. Heaven help us; I hope not.

What would he NOT do...?

.Uphold the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Rule of Law.
.Tell everyone the complete unfiltered truth about Benghasi
.Provide freely all information about Fast and Furious
.Quit blaming the GOP and conservatives for everything
.Quit campaigning on every issue he intends to shove down our throats
.Work on eliminating duplicate offices / government agencies and submitting some kind of REAL budget to Americans
.Quit persecuting Christians in the USA (have a national prayer day)
.Quit causing racial divide and class warfare
.Quit taking vacations on the taxpayers dime that are exhorbitently expensive
.Get off his butt and help businesses in America create jobs for the millions of unemployed
.Quit giving away entitlements to people who are scamming, who aren't citizens, and who could be working real jobs if there were any real jobs

I don’t think they were voted on at all. And there were about 22 more amendments.

Here is a list: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/L?d113:./temp/~bdaYskA:1[1-23]%28Amendments_For_S.649%29&./temp/~bdO72o|/home/LegislativeData.php|

every time I start feeling optimistic, Lucy pulls the football away from me.

Sometimes I think they do this purposely. You have it, no you don't, yes you do, etc. We have a suspect, no we don't, yes we do, no we don't, yes we do but he's being sent home on the next plane.

How many times have they done this on various things, till your head is swimming, and is that the objective?

Considering the billions of rounds of hollow-point ammo DHS and the Alphabets have stored up for themselves, the refusal to answer direct questions about using armed drones on American citizens, the militarization of DHS and the very real hatred Obama and his ideological adherents have for us ‘right wing domestic terrorists’ - believe you me - giving us death is precisely what they have in mind for us.

Such is the legacy of their ideology.

Too bad most of us assumed it couldn’t happen here.

Satan/the commies

sure picked the right cipher in Obama.

They spent decades setting up white guilt to the point that any hint of an accusation of racism is enough for us to shut up and not challenge them.

I think a lot of people (not on FR) are like boiling frogs. Even before Obama our liberties were taken away; small at first, State by State (and a lot started locally) then Federally. New “social responsibilities” were imposed the same way. These were all presented as “for the good” and so were accepted by most. That’s when the water tempature was just warming. Obama turned the heat onto high; it’s something new everyday. Some are just wondering “how did this happen? jump the kettle!” It was the communist plan.

And there are still scads of deniers, even here on this board.

Looks like Biden and Obama have as much respect for Congress as they do for the Constitution. Just run ‘em over, right? Liberals are so thuggy.

I thought the executive orders were for things of an emergency nature, used until congress could pass a law on same.
Everything with this administration is an “executive order”.

And that’s what’s so bewildering, because we have the actual history of what Leftist ideologies like Obama have done when they have achieved the same levels of power over a nation.

How and why even people here will not allow themselves to think that the destruction and mass elimination of any opposition to MarxoFascism is the plan being implement before our eyes can only be attributed to the fact the majority in this country have a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.

>>Assuming there are executive actions that can be taken, why didn’t he take action sooner?<<

Obozo wanted to let the legislative process play out. Now, in his mind, he is justified. He must do something to protect our children.

Just my take.

“We may soon be “taking some actions” against this traitor-in-chief....”

I would agree that may be the spark that ignites a revolution - we are not the Brits or Aussies - we will not just lay down....

Then we need to start crucifying the press.
