Vice President Joe Biden, while addressing representatives of gun safety and gun violence victims' groups, says President Obama could use "executive orders" to enact gun control measures.
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: "The president is going to act. There are executives orders -- executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the Attorney General and all the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action, we believe is required."

Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be INFRINGED.
Someone better get a Dictionary up the the Whitehouse before they go and do something treasonous
I wonder what the ratio will be of those who will and those who won't?
At the time I thought the nation would subsequently recognize gross stupidity in such a treacherous form of accepted public policy, but I wished for too much I suppose.
You may not pay for actions Joe, but your buddies in Congress are going to get it.

“Err No he Cannot. He can try but it will be Treason as per the US Constitution.”
Errrr.... Only a natural born citizen is eligible to be POTUS.
Look how well that’s worked.
When the people elect a President that re-elects himself and gets away with it, bad things ahead..
That is blatantly incorrect -- for if the Constitution is what the [majority of] the Supreme Court says, then any dissent listed is contrary to the Constitution, and any decision based on a prior dissent is therefore also contrary the Constitution. -- Furthermore, the if the Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is, then any restrictions placed upon the Supreme Court by the Constitution are meaningless, precisely because the court says what the Constitution means.
Your statement advocates not a rule of law, but a rule of men.
What’s sad is that if you read Matt’s first book and watch the news in the US as of late, you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two regarding what politicians say and do.
Hussein has written and signed many executive orders and congress has not contested even one. I feared he would try to do this by executive order and Biden says he will and Holder is working on this. I think congress will not contest gun control executive orders as this way gives them cover not to have to deal with it.
Technically we are the final deciders of what the Constitution says, the final authority is preserved in the jury power to nullify laws even if the USSC says they are ok. Dread Scott and the Fugitive Slave Act are examples.
As I watched ABC world news last night, and Diane Sawyer bring forth Gabby Giffords, leading a disabled witness like a skilled attorney to the conclusion, Giffords pronouncement of “enough”, I realized the Media and left were in full on assualt mode. The fuse has been lit, and the left won’t let go until they prevail. They won’t debate, they won’t be reasonable, or negotiate, or compromise. I have only a small hope they can be stopped after this last election. The low information, low intelligence, emotional populace is now the Majority.
With tens of thousands of firearms and millions of rounds of ammo flying off the shelves every week, We The People have already extended a middle-finger salute to the socialist democrat usurpers.
“Technically we are the final deciders of what the Constitution says, the final authority is preserved in the jury power to nullify laws even if the USSC says they are ok.”
Just don’t ever mention this during jury selection.
You are correct. Congress has not responded to these unconstitutional EOs, e.g., the backdoor amnesty that will legalize the status of 1.8 million illegal aliens.
I am certain that there will be many in law enforcement who will be happy to confiscate guns from the law-abiding public. Perhaps even a majority.
How do you think the others will be “forced” to participate?
There’s a lot more “force” behind a driveway full of armed officers on your property than there is behind deciding if your paycheck is worth more than doing what you know to be wrong.
His Supreme Court will say he can.
