What a crock.This bunch of fluff has more holes in than a Swiss Cheese. Why not spend their time on fixing the Budget instead of this miss mash thought up by some Back Office flunky...
Hahahaha! 0bama couldn’t grab guns, so he had to go tell! “Whazzup, DocFix? I made a booboo. Fix it, GlockDoc.” Talk about the war on women! Today was 0’s war on everyone. For the born-alive children, women and men.
Phuk U BO.
Well just wait. "Dangerous" is a fairly broad and non-defined description. I wonder what the actual categories are....
Excellent post. And don’t forget how important the medical authorities were in Nazi Germany as well.
>>What a crock.This bunch of fluff has more holes in than a Swiss Cheese.<<
The 23 dictates from caesar that will stand stronger than the immediate, illegal and unfought Contempt of Congress of Holder squashing?
Or the fact that the conservatives who stayed home are responsible for obozo hitler caligula II?
Heh. We’re hoping to move to Texas. Love your post.
Because, of course, the media will make him out to be a hero for “doing something”.
Hint: This wasn’t done quickly. It’s been sitting on someones computer while they anxiously waited for their wet dream of a senseless massacre so they could trot this out in the name of “the children”, i.e. gun control.
It’s been worked on for a long time, IMHO.
I will bet you that he will try to have someone in the House or Senate get a bill put on the debt limit vote which has a gun control bill. Obama will make it about the debt limit ceiling crises. To make this work he and Harry Reid will do what they can to let the debt ceiling for the government be hit so they can cry cuts are now coming, stir the hornets nest and the immediate need to address, put the bill in front of the house at midnight 3 minutes before they need to vote, just like they did earlier this month.
The only thing the Gov can do at this point is punish law abiding citizens.
Really, somebody must pay for all the crime. May as well be YOU, the Taxpayers..
Obama’s style is to leave the heavy lifting to others. He knows Feinstein, Schumer, et al, will push for semi-auto bans, import restrictions, etc. — so he doesn’t have to. He knows they are unlikely to pass, and doesn’t want to appear to lose. In the meanwhile, he’ll position conservatives as soft on baby-killing.
A few things on the list might be unobjectionable, but most are ineffective bureaucratic waste as usual — study this, coordinate data that, push paper there. How much “training” do school officials need to refer a dangerous lunatic for “counseling”? What exactly has been preventing Obama from nominating an ATF director? Can’t find anyone corrupt enough? But other articles say he is proposing 15,000 more unionized police in, who’d a thunk it, urban areas that voted Obama, at a cost of $266,000 per job. It’s for the children...
The NRA has a new member.
I learned to keep my personal life’s activities (vacations, family matters, job stuff, etc.) to myself when my dentist started asking follow up questions to conversations that I had at visits six months earlier. They certainly aren’t memorizing that stuff, they’re writing it into their files and then recapping just before I sit down. All that info will be accessible by the government.
Yeh, that was my thought. “OH NOES GUN BAN” echoing through my mind was replaced with “BIG FRICKIN’ DEAL”.
Barack Obama said he would ... counter Republican attacks “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
2008
Same here, just now.
Hubby is a life member, but I never had joined. That's all changed now.
Unfortunately, Beck has forgotten that this tactic does not work against pagans.
Everywhere Christians opposed Islam "peacefully" is now islamic.
As Dinesh D'Sousa's teacher related to him "If India had opposed Nazi Germany, Ghandi would be a lampshade."
“Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.”
And this has what G-d asks to do with the “gun violence” issue???
