It’s yet another violation of the Constitution and further erosion of our God-given rights (which are recognized, not granted, by the Second Amendment). No real American should shrug this off.

I disagree with Mr. Laurie.

The very vagueness and flimsiness of the Obama edict opens the door to reckless, ad hoc prosecutions that may or may not hold up but will cause untold expense and hardship on whomever is targeted.

If it is a "restatement" of sorts, does the media think President 0bama is repeating himself?
People who repeat themselves may have an underlying mental conditions that should be examined.
For his own good, of course.

Wrong.

They amount to a lawless tyrant.

Question: Does existing law define a gun dealer, or does the President get to define the term?

Next on his agenda: Address the disproportionate numbers of people of color in prisons by pardoning violent criminals. Make it harder to send violent crackhead gangbangers (just the ones of color) to prison.

Any legislation by executive order is wrong, it’s a misuse of power. Their purpose is to direct the execution of Congressional established law, not to create it.

However, I was expecting something much, much worse. I think it’s a game. He is going to see if he can sneak this by the RINO’s, which he will. Then just keep upping the game with more EO’s to see how far the RINO’s will let him go.

Two days ago, when he said his orders would be entirely consistent with the Constitution, he tipped his hand. He was going to do none of that.

Well, not really. His grasp of and dedication to the limits the Constitution imposes upon his office is such that he'd do that stuff and still say that.

"Obama’s gun control orders amount to nothing - a restatement of existing law and common sense

A few of the older Albertans descended from Nazi Germany might feel that way.

This assumes that Obama won’t act on his own illegal directive.

He has. He will.

And then the pain and cost of litigation will damage some American families.

I told my wife today... “With Obama’s new rules, I can still buy guns...I just can’t sell’em.” She asked... “Why would you sell’em?”.

I love my wife.

President Trump has vowed that on his first day in office, he will revoke this EO and every other unconstitutional EO issued by Obama. It would be even better if President Trump simply revoked ALL of Obama’s EOs with Trump Presidential EO #1, and then reissued any that actually might some merit.
