Biden suggests White House could act without Congress as part of gun control plan

Dear Plugs.

Note that the peeps can act independently too.

But the vice president hinted Wednesday that executive action -- action by the president in which Congress would not have a say -- would indeed be involved.

Obama/Biden, if they take this action...

[patriotsblood]

Fellow Freepers, I just got off the phone with my state-level Senator and Congressman. I suggested that my state (Pa)take the initiative and tell Obama that any executive order that he pronounces that erodes any of our Constitutional rights be declared an unlawful order at the state level and will not be observed or enforced. I think it’s time to start pressing our states to stand up for us, since our federal representatives seem to lose their ability to reason when they hit D.C.

Looks like the Federal Courts in DC will be busy for the next 4 years.

Joe says many stupid things. I think he was kicked in the head by a mule when he was a child.

[angelcindy]

Impeach the whole damn bunch of them!!!!!!

[scripter]

I think we are creeping faster and faster towards exactly that... action by the people.

[RitaOK]

Walmart needs to be watched closely, as well as these foundations and big business and even the National Chamber of Commerce, as they are being squeezed to comply, cooperate and cave to pressure for dashing the 2A. If these businesses resist, then comes the executive order against gun rights and freedom.

We are prepared to respond with boycotts, at minimum, presumably?

Resist we NOT much yet.

[Sarah Barracuda]

OK everyone raise your hands, who didnt see this coming because I think we ALL did
I dare Biden and Obama to do this, I double dog dare them, they want a revolution they are about to get one

[angelcindy]

We the people need to show the world what happens when the Constution is messed with...

[PGR88]

And Congress needs to tell the American people - you can ignore such blatantly unconstitutional actions.

Cause a Constitutional crisis - it is about time.

I’m holding my Smith & Wesson stock. For now.

The White House is lawyered up, starting with their houseboy, Chief Justice Roberts. Right now, I don't see how they can lose.

[angelcindy]

LOCK N LOAD!!!

[LibLieSlayer]

If obama violates his oath of office and passes and EO banning anything to do with codified Constitutional Rights... there will be lawsuits and injunctions and rulings against him... and an Impeachment for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. It may go nowhere but it will destroy his presidency and mark him as a tyrant for all time.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There would be advantages for us if he had to declare martial law before he has finished depleting our food and supplies.

We'd be in a much better position to prevail.

[skeeter]

as he kicked off a round of meetings aimed at finding ways to curb gun violence eliminating the means of the public to defend themselves from government tyranny, the historical aim of all statists.

[TheRhinelander]

Any executive order will not ban anything. It will likely address background and mental health checks. I already have to deal with background checks where I live. Not a big deal IF you keep your nose clean.

[muir_redwoods]

I too can act without congress.
