Martin O'Malley calls for gun confiscation by executive order if Congress doesn't act

Twitter ^

[Perdogg]

I agree—this is a "moral outrage & nat'l disgrace." If Congress doesn't have courage to act, let's use EOs. -O'M https://t.co/eIct6AlAKw— Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) December 5, 2015

[Traveler59]

Yeahhhh, right. I think the British tried that last time, and we ended up with a new government.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They don’t even pretend to believe in separation of powers any more. They have just gone to straight dictatorship.

[TornadoAlley3]

Fatwah

[TigersEye]

[Empireoftheatom48]

He can go to Hell!

[Principled]

You’ll hear all about it tomorrow if you tune in to listen to the America hating 0bama announce it.

I don’t think it will work. I think people will just go about their lives and ignore him. Local le won’t do anything about it either. Lol

[Georgia Girl 2]

Martin OMalley there’s real voice of the people. LOL!

[skeeter]

Why don’t you go door to door personally, Martin.

We would be impressed by your sense of commitment.

The replies to O’Malley are great:

@MartinOMalley @nytopinion that’s not how it works, per the Constitution - try winning elections. Your party had control in 2008.

@MartinOMalley @nytopinion We have three branches for a reason and the president is not the supreme ruler who dictates through EO!

@MartinOMalley @nytopinion it’s odd and sad on so many levels that it took non-White, mass-murders to “break the camels back” on this issue.

[CatOwner]

I think the DEMs may hitch their wagon to gun control 24/7 until Election Day 2016. I can’t say for certain how the country will react, but we have an Islamic sympathizer in the WH. So, I guess anything is possible.

[SMGFan]

try to go after the criminals in Chicago, LA, Newark etc. first.

[skeeter]

He’ll employ the frog in boiling pot method.

EO this year; a few confiscation based upon “mental illness” etc next year.

The year after that we’ll be used to reading about confiscation here & there. It will become commonplace and those opposed will become increasingly marginalized.

In a few years confiscations will be widespread. People will be calling in their neighbors like they do today for overwatering their lawns.

That is my fear.

[Skywise]

I will not obey.

Your move creep.

[rrrod]

Most of the US military and law enforcement will stand with Americans

[The Great RJ]

Hitler had his Reichstag fire as an excuse to end civil liberties and Obama and the liberals have the San Bernadino terror attack as their excuse. Either way it is raw tyranny.

[RightGeek]

He's so brave when dealing with law abiding citizens. Less so with thugs.

[Calpublican]

If that happened I guarandamteeya there would be an uprising in this country.

[corlorde]

I think all Dems should run on this platform, from Hillary to sitting Senators up for reelection...all of them. It is a sure fire winner.
