Obama WILL Bypass Congress, Impose 'Order' For Gun Background Checks
Maybe he should go back to lobotomies for the mentally questionable or he should stop complaining.
Obama needs to figure out a way to get Jamal to do a background check on Leroy when he sells him a stolen gun out of the trunk of his car parked behind Walmart.
