Biden suggests White House could act without Congress as part of gun control plan
Fox ^ | January 09, 2013

Vice President Biden suggested Wednesday that the White House could take unilateral action on gun control, as he kicked off a round of meetings aimed at finding ways to curb gun violence.

The vice president met Wednesday with gun-safety and victims groups, saying he is "determined" to take "urgent action" to address gun violence. "This is not an exercise in photo opportunities or just getting to ask you all what your opinions are. We are vitally interested in what you have to say," Biden said.

The White House has sought to avoid prejudging what Biden's recommendations would be. 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.

Delayed resistance continues to take us deeper into danger. At least, we must contact our representatives to gird themselves for impeachment should this EO threat turn into reality, and contact our state representatives to act, to hose any Executive Orders imperiling the Constitution, affecting our freedom inside our respective states.

A portion of crazy Alex Jones levels of testosterone wouldn’t hurt us a bit.

I know if I'm ever president (ha!), I'm going to tell a little birdie that I plan on issuing an EO outlawing muslims, fags, atheists, flag burners, communists, drug users and prostitutes. The plan as I leak it would say that I'm going to lock up all the aforementioned undesirables in POW camps.

Never mind that it would be unconstitutional and immediately reversed by judicial ruling or impeachment.

The idea would be to generate lots of apoplectic chatter by enraged leftists on the internet -- thus identifying those who are most likely to act against me, as every good tyrant must do.

I wonder if Zero is doing the same thing, since this proposal obviously doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hades of getting by the courts or Congress? Zero is playing gun owners, imo. He wants to upset them and provoke them into spouting crazy things. Then, they'll be dealt with on his Kristallnacht.

You can’t be a Leftwingtard and be a Christian. You can’t love your guns and be a Leftwingtard. Thoughts to the contrary are an out of date paradigm which will do nothing but fog up your sights.

I’m afraid you’re right.

On a sort-of related note, while browsing the Brownell’s site yesterday, I noted that they are “backorderd” on any and all lower receivers for any semi-auto rifle. They’r even sold out of AK “blanks” that hobbyist machinists use to build their own. Bottom line is that there are going to be a whole lot of new “black” off-list rifles out there this time next year.

Of course, anyone who can figure out how to bend sheet metal and drill holes in it can make an AK receiver. Which the gun grabbers will also find out if they decide to implement their ban.

Keep your powder dry!

I agree that all leftists are evil but there are gun loving dims in many states... I don’t associate with dims in Mississippi so I can’t tell you about here.
