I am waiting for the media to jump all over Biden for his stridency and unwillingness to negotiate and compromise, in the same way they attack conservatives.
Not.
This is not ominous at all.
The fed govt is without authority to do anything in gun control (and for that matter, the existing background checks, while an appealing idea I believe prudent, are patently unconstitutional in their own right... and no doubt would have to be struck down if NRA or someone mounted a challenge).
I read Biden’s comment as preparing the country for the “doing nothing” option, accompanied with, of course, tons of political BS speeches about how their hands are tied and how they wished so very much to “protect us” .. etc...)
ps: happened to drive within about a mile and quarter of a gun show, on way to another destination. The parking lots were all full (there are extensive parking lots!) and they had traffic lined up blocking all vehicular movement for a mile on each side of the show site.... cars waiting in the traffic lanes for a chance to squeeze into the lot as soon as anybody left the show. FYI. We were extremely lucky to be able to reach a corner where we were able to make a legal U-turn and get away from the traffic tie-up; we never did get to our intended destination. It is obvious that nobody plans to be giving up their guns — indeed I wish we had stock in the manufacturers’ companies they must be making a FORTUNE since O and Biden started spouting off their political bs about taking people’s guns away. (HUM... maybe O and Biden purchased stock in the companies last year...???????? ha! Naw, they’d never do anything dishonest.... forget it!)
Translation: "I'm too stupid to know that if I overreach, I'll cause a severe backlash."
Obama WILL try to ignore the Second Amendment, and he will try to ignore established US Statutes and the process for enacting Legal laws through both houses. Unequivocally!
He WILL issue Executive Orders that infringe on the citizens' rights to bear arms, and his lap dog Executive agencies like the ATF will establish regulations and BS rules that try to coerce citizens to comply.
An Executive Order is a directive to an Executive Branch agency to follow some administrative edict from the President. I contend that it is not LAW; any rule, regulation or order must have some basis in established Federal Law to be consitutional.
I am not his employee, I am not his frigging 'subject'. If the ATF whoever cannot cite established legal LAWS on which their rulings, edicts or demands are based, I am not going to comply, period. I won't have any weapons when they come.
Who knows what Biden means. The man has never had a cogent thought in his life.
Uncle Joe is saying that the Regime won't take an all-or-nothing approach. That they will push through whatever they can get is the real message. It does our side no good whatsoever when we go off about what the other side didn't say. It's especially embarrassing when the entire quote is there to put Biden's words in context.
Stuning our beebers in the shower may make for hugh and vey series fun on FreeRepublic, but it harms our cause when we post material from bloggers who can't read.
Really, what good is a collectivist agenda without a suitable genocidal finale?
All or nothing—Fine by me.
I got first dibs on Holder.
I nominate this for the most misleading thread title ever.
Going for everything...is going off the deep end and getting nothing. May the Lord drive our enemies crazy with the lust for power and in their hatreds.
I just had a chilling vision, a team of combined forces from HS, ATF, FBI and some other agencies try a reversed role Blackhawk Down situation except they are ambushed by tens of thousands of Revolutionary Patriots with upconverted SUV technicals, big rig rolling arsenals and even crop dusters converted to well, use your imagination.
The MSM goes ape crazy ballistic watching besieged Federal Arms Collectionists under heavy fire and surrounded. Talking heads of the liberal persuasion argue the use of hellfire drones and gas attacks.
I’m willing to die defending my God-given, inalienable right to keep and bear arms. Are you willing to die trying to take it from me?
Well are ya, punk?
