Yay! Obama’s Executive Orders Make It Easier To Get Machine Guns (and silencers)
Bearing Arms ^ | 1/5/16 | Bob Ownes

Posted on 01/05/2016 1:29:48 PM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Unable to ram his attacks on the Second Amendment through Congress, a bitter Barack Obama has been reduced to pushing his Executive Branch powers to the the breaking point with a series of “executive orders” that the White House finally outlined last night.

They range from open lies, to empty threats, to harassment, to a few things that might actually be very beneficial to some gun owners, to a Orwellian scheme that could get many law enforcement officers and military servicemen killed.

Let’s jump right into what these executive orders outline, and separate Obama’s bluster from reality by dissecting his so-called “fact sheet.”

Register as a Democrat to vote against Hillary in the primary,

*Primary Swing* voting is certainly a worthwhile tactic, in some states. In a few it is not legal, and otherwise, Hitlery may be a better choice than some of the others, who deserve all the humiliation they can get.

But just maybe, Hillary might be the preferred most-despised Democrat opponent. And there may be other considerations, like who she picks for VP. Reportedly, at least three major figures have turned her down for the Number Two spot.

I suggest all articles about obama include the term LAME DUCK!

I would favor a slight alteration in spelling of the last suggested word to be very much more descriptive of the incapacity of this particular official's leadership DIS-qualifications.

"And Conservatives dominate at the state level."

Show me a county and state (the two being linked) without many regulations against property rights (owner-building, high fees), new, small manufacturing shops, obsessive monitoring of legal, moral, private activities, intrusive, anti-family policies,...

I've seen the socialist activities of both sides conniving in concert against small businesses and private property rights in commissioners' meetings over the decades.

If Republicans running some of the states were so conservative, we'd have seen many repeals of particular restrictions against freedoms. Both political parties are quite socialist, and those who regulate most against new, small businesses and whole families are running the states and counties like machines.

Legislators and administrators in the states work closely and amorously with federal bureaucrats, because they want to, and such activities keep their salaries increasing. And then there's the federal pork (funding).

Money doesn't grow in trees. Governments can't continue spending big on services, real estate and tourism alone. Much new, small production is needed, and we're not seeing that new blood in production on U.S. soil. That's why there's so much effort to manage a horribly shrinking economy to fit the political class.

The political class is even getting into the drug dealing business.

Here’s a little more insight.

I don’t have any silencers, automatic weapons, etc., and don’t have any use for them. Many of those with big government incomes do, having recirculating debt dollars to burn, and they love to play with that stuff and pretend to be soldiers. Whatever. Let ‘em have fun.

My interest in the topic of firearms is making our Second Amendment right stronger instead of seeing it relegated to a particular class of people. Why allow that right to be enjoyed exclusively by well-to-do/respected folks like Joker Boy and the Newtown Martian, offspring of the corporatocracy/debt regime and street thugs with stolen weapons?

That’s where gun control is going, incrementally, thanks to the game of Democrats passing bad laws and Republicans refusing to repeal them. The same paradigm deposed small manufacturing shops and the kind of families willing to start and run them.

There’s nothing conservative about that. Conservatism isn’t obsessed with class, even behind implications. Fascism and communism are, where party favorites rule. To be conservative is to be old fashioned in morality and policies. Our forefathers weren’t trying to emulate old Europe with its European right and left. They worked for opportunity for anyone willing to work for it.

Why have people not long descended from Europe taken over both political parties and outlawed the kind of work where anyone can keep their profits (small manufacturing shops, small agriculture) instead of those profits going directly to slaver-bosses?

It would be nice to be allowed to build a house and start manufacturing something without the regulations against small owner-building projects and small manufacturing shops, even in one of the most sparsely populated counties. But it appears that we’ll have to wait, until the weird current experiment in oligarchy defaults.

Support permaculture and open source equipment design and building.

Our old feminist and male feminist population is rather large and in charge, though. Maybe try that, when at least half of my Baby Boomer peers and the Gen-X-ers who agree with them have croaked?

Concur, but there is at least one problem with that.

"Of the 2,709,918 Americans who served in Vietnam , Less than 850,000 are estimated to be alive today, with the youngest American Vietnam veteran's age approximated to be 54 years old." How does it feel to be among the last third of all the Vietnam Veterans who served in Vietnam to be alive?

I don't know about you guys, but it kind of gives me the chills.

Considering the kind of information available about the death rate of WWII and Korean War Veterans, publicized information indicates that in the last 14 years Vietnam veterans are dying at the rate of 390 deaths each day.

At this rate there will be only a few of us alive in 2015.
These statistics were taken from a variety of sources to include: The VFW Magazine, the Public Information Office, and the HQ CP Forward Observer.

Some places are most certainly better than others. And others are most certainly worse places to reside anyway.

I always liked this line. First read it in school back around 1965:

Sec.30. Monopolies and perpetuities prohibited.

Perpetuities and monopolies are contrary to the genius of a free state, and shall not be allowed. Corporations being creatures of the state, endowed for the public good with a portion of its sovereign powers, must be subject to its control.
