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.

AR means assault rifle, AK means assualt kill. Both can hold really big clips and on top of that they're really scary. Right? Right?

My bad. Hehe.
Yes, the pics are perfect and capture the reality of this slimeball fraud....but for some reason I thought of that pic of Saddam Hussein with the little hostage boy.....
Be careful with this! It was the addition of PORK for “CRIME CONTROL” that got the 1968 and Clinton’s AW ban passed.
I’m convinced this little down low fraud is out to destroy the country. I just re-read “Night” by Elie Wiesel....America is fat and lazy and spoiled (sad to say, but it is pretty true—of course not everybody)...our kids are being taught propaganda by Leftists and 1/2 the people are on the gvt teat....I’m afraid we are in for some very difficult times. Now is the time to just prepare to take care of you and your family....it at least gives you a measure of control. Sorry to be a downer...but, it’s not looking good. History repeats, and repeats, doesn’t it?
As the wonderful Mark Steyn says, America is the brokest, brokety-broke country the world has seen. His last book is amazing to read...he predicted a great deal of what is now taking place. I’m even beginning to think he is right about the states breaking up. Weird times we are living in.
It’s not so much where the money comes from as....
it was spent on gun control and growing gov. in one form or another.
But, he didn’t ban weapons thank goodness he just spent money. /s
Good point.
Have you noticed, within the last month, the term gun control has been replaced with “gun violence”? The media in the US is as bad or worse than Pravda 1962.
How the hell has this happened?
I wonder how those children will feel in a decade or two about being used to abridge their freedom.
Here’s Fuhrer Obama’s gun grab to do list:
***
“- Address legal barriers in health laws that bar some states from making available information about people who are prohibited from having guns.
- Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.
- Make sure that federal agencies share relevant information with the background check system.
- Direct the attorney general to work with other agencies to review existing laws to make sure they can identify individuals who shouldn’t have access to guns.
- Direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other research agencies to conduct research into the causes and prevention of gun violence.
- Clarify that no federal law prohibits doctors or other health care providers from contacting authorities when patients threaten to use violence.
- Give local communities the opportunity to hire up to 1,000 school resource officers and counselors.
- Require federal law enforcement to trace all recovered guns.
- Propose regulations that will enable law enforcement to run complete background checks before returning firearms that have been seized.
- Direct the Justice Department to analyze information on lost and stolen guns and make that information available to law enforcement.
- Provide training for state and local law enforcement, first responders and school officials on how to handle active-shooter situations.
- Make sure every school has a comprehensive emergency management plan.
- Help ensure that young people get needed mental health treatment.
- Ensure that health insurance plans cover mental health benefits.
- Encourage development of new technology to make it easier for gun owners to safely use and store their guns.
- Have the Consumer Product Safety Commission assess the need for new safety standards for gun locks and gun safes.
- Launch a national campaign about responsible gun ownership. “

This sure looks like El Presidente is making his own laws, doesn’t it ? Last time I checked, that’s an impeachable offense.
Just sayin’......
I’m convinced this little down low fraud is out to destroy the country””
Ya think. Bo is at war with America. This is the only way to take us down and he has an army of welfare maggots on his side.
All I can say, is remember who your enemies are? Who did more to put Bo in power than any single entity. It wasn’t just Soros but most importantly it was a corrupt old media empire.
Looked to me like a picture of “der Fuhrer” and a picture of “il Douche” ...
