WASHINGTON (AP) - Braced for a fight, President Barack Obama on Wednesday unveiled the most sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in two decades, pressing a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.
A month after that horrific massacre, Obama also used his presidential powers to enact 23 measures that don't require the backing of lawmakers. The president's executive actions include ordering federal agencies to make more data available for background checks, appointing a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and directing the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence.

Exactly. I thought he was going to use it mostly to crush any possibility of resistance in this country (because that’s what the Second Amendment is all about...it has nothing to do with hunting). But I see he’s just using it to collect funds.
So I guess it could have been worse.
Nothing like a little tragedy to drum up $500,000,000.
Is Congress forcing him into spending again?
Just think.. if congress would only handle the violence in our grade schools he wouldn’t have to spend that $500 million after all...
Tsk tsk tsk...
Those pictures are perfect.
They show exactly what is going on.
Why does everything this CS’er does cost half a billion dollars?
The terms “assault weapon” and “assault rifle” are often confused. According to Bruce H. Kobayashi and Joseph E. Olson, writing in the Stanford Law and Policy Review:
Prior to 1989, the term “assault weapon” did not exist in the lexicon of firearms. It is a political term, developed by anti-gun publicists to expand the category of “assault rifles”...

So where does the money come from? The USA is broke.
Interesting he went for $$$, and votes for the party. Has to mean he couldn’t do much, as well it’s all spelled out in ObamaCare anyway, and he probably would like to keep that quiet as long as he can until implemented fully.
I don’t think people realize enough how much we need to be rid of ObamaCare. I think that alone is the diversionary target. They are trying to keep the lid on the details until we are stuck with it.
How about de-funding the Executive Branch, to stop the expansion of Da Fuhrer?????
Never let a crisis go to waste when it can be used to loot the treasury.
