Obama: “Executive Action” On Gun Control “Within My Authority As President”
Freedom Outpost ^ | January 14, 2013 | Tim Brown

Posted on 01/15/2013 4:29:08 AM PST by yoe

Barack finished up the final press conference of his first term. During it he was questioned a number of times about his plans for gun control as Vice President Joe Biden prepares to deliver his recommendations tomorrow. What was most amazing was when he referenced his executive power and stated, “How we are gathering data on guns that fall into the hands of criminals, how we track that.” He also boldly declared that executive action could be taken and that “some steps that we can take that don’t require legislation and that are within my authority as president.”

First, before getting into this, did anyone else do a double take and shout at your television set or computer monitor about his administration’s lack of tracking about 2,500 weapons into the hands of criminals in Mexico under the watchful eye of the Obama Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives(BATFE)? In addition, his executive authority, as far as executive orders, ( do not allow him to go beyond dealing with those under his authority and those orders he gives may not be unlawful or against the Constitution.) Yeah, I thought most of you were with me on that one.

If the abuse of natural rights doesn't bother Obama, and he wants to reduce crime, he should make it illegal for Holder's people to own any type of weapon and place a dusk to dawn curfew on them.

Assuming that he can enforce his diktats, statistics indicate that overall crime would them be reduced by over 50%.

Sounds awful, but if rights are no longer protected, then you might as well go for effective.

I don’t see how yall think ANYBODY is going to do ANYTHING about this.

Well, if you mean the Members of Congress, you are correct. They have not respected, nor operated within, the limits of the Constitution for decades. They are (in this respect) WORSE than Obama, because their consistent treason and lies created the nexus from which an Obama could emerge. Obama is right, in at least this respect - THEY created the financial disaster we face, all by themselves, Republicans and Democrats alike, and in a just world they would fix it, or be hanged.

Where are the leaders who will?

All around you. Their names are not yet known, except, possibly, for a few who became known to some in Iraq, or Afghanistan.

You could collect and destroy every gun on earth... there is still going to be some half-wit who will drive his car 80 Miles an hour into a crowd of school children.

Bank on it.

It would be perfectly within his authority as President to direct that the DOJ actually prosecute the felon-in-possession cases that are referred to it, as it hasn’t, since he took office.

Operation Exile worked. It has effectively ended, since the end of the Bush administration. It would be fully within Obama’s authority to order it started, again.

But, then, it would result in actual violent criminals who use illegal firearms going to prison. And that doesn’t further his true goals.

Call them at the "contact us" number, and put it on order.
They fill their orders as they can.
It doesn't take that long, maybe 3 or 4 weeks.
Do it NOW, before you CAN'T do it !

Mister “I’m in control, so why are you still standing in my way?”, may not get the response he’s hoping for on the many fronts he’s engaged.

Excellent site - and book...

“...call attention to what Hitlerism really stood for, abortion, euthanasia, hatred of Jews, and, very emphatically, homosexuality.”

Says it all right there...I read a book when I was in college and as a Police major - we were studying deviate behaviors - I remember this book was written by a psychologist I think - but it detailed the extremes found in Hitler, Himmler, and the rest of his nut case squad...the entire 3rd Reich was no more than a bunch of perverts that seized power by what was then the official elected system - then did away with it on the premise of making Germany a regional - then world power...

The US has several parallels at the moment!

It is within my Heavenly Fathers authority ... “not to abide”.

Obama: “Executive Action” On Gun Control “Within My Authority As President”

Say who? Holder?

The Second Amendment to The Constitution as ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State:

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.

der 0berFuhrer emperor Hussein 0bama may make pronouncement and "Executive Orders", but enforcing them is a whole 'nother matter!
