Texas governor challenges Obama to 'come and take' the Lone Star state's guns
UK Daily Mail ^ | 3 January 2016 | Kelly McLaughlin

Posted on 01/03/2016 1:34:00 AM PST by Windflier

Texas Gov Greg Abbott criticized President Barack Obama's plan to move ahead with possible executive actions on guns in a tweet in which he told the Commander-in-Chief to 'come & take' the state's guns.

Obama said in his weekly radio address that he is looking for ways to keep guns out of the hands of 'a dangerous few' without depending on Congress to pass a law on the fraught subject of gun control.

He plans to meet his attorney general, Loretta Lynch, on Monday to see what executive actions might be possible. Steps to strengthen background checks could come this week.

At a rally in Biloxi, Mississippi, tonight Donald Trump also pledged to undo any action Obama takes on gun control if he wins the next election.

Everyone needs to find out where the “goods” are. We might be able to use some of them.

Don’t be so damned complacent. He can do major damage in a year. Including a coup.

Whether he actually said it or not is moot. It’s a truism.

And when the Feds do come...

“This isn’t the right time”. “This isn’t the right hill to die on”. “These aren’t the right people to back”.

Waco, Oregon, Bundy ranch, Elian, Ruby Ridge, etc...

I officially give up.

One of those flags was displayed at the McDaniel rallies back in the day.

I expressed to Katrina how cool it was, and she said she would send me one.

I'm going to have to follow up on that when she is not so busy...

Go Texas, keep fighting the good fight for liberty and the Constitution and our Constitutional Republic!

I wish the Governor of Georgia had a spine. Gov. Deal - stop acting like a democrat and grow a pair. Stand up for your constituents.

The government people have been conditioned to view patriots as the real enemy...

To the people in government today, Patriots are the real enemy.

........"In his efforts to work around a Congress that has often been politically gridlocked, Obama has made aggressive use of executive power, particularly on immigration. It has been an increasingly effective presidential tool."

Only because the Republican's drowned in Boehner's torrential tears, and lies, and Ryan's smug, and lies.

Is the civil war here?

Not quite yet, but we are long overdue for one.

That’s why it won’t happen. The freedom loving US all be defeated from within. We are 54% of the way there. While gun control is a real issue it is also the red meat the progs are using to every attention away from the real power grabs.

Most people on this forum give a rousing defense to Social Security. I expect Obama to start linking guns with welfare which includes SS. He will also tie it into other Federal privileges such as traveling, education, health care, banking, etc. He will need to disarm the retired mlitary as well and that s best done by threatening retirement benefits.

How many Freepers will defend the second amendment when their government check is put in jeaporady?

So far there has been one murder with an NFA full auto weapon. Pretty low number for the number of full auto weapons out there.

It’s not a problem and the regulation of these weapons should end.

I disagree. Mounting a large scale invasion won’t be done quietly or quickly. We will know they’re coming and they will have a difficult time dismounting under fire. Whether materiel is prestaged or not, blue helmets have to get to it, arm thmselves and mount operations through the most heavily armed populace in the world. Have you ever seen a UN operation? Those fools can’t get it right anywhere in the world. They will lose here too.

You are quite correct. All the bluster and oath-keeping talk is just mental masturbation. People will do whatever it takes to keep that government check coming. Yeah, they’ll bury some guns...but they won’t dig them up as long as the checks keep coming. The government will wait until Gen X is past 65 before it goes for the big grab. By then the WW2 generation will be dead. The Boomers will be mostly dead. And the last generation to enjoy the freedom of real childhood will be on the SS/Medicare dole.

“Yet, I am glad that machine guns are highly regulated. And so are most US citizens glad that machine guns are highly regulated.”

I’m not glad at all.
