WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden says if Congress won't act on gun control, he'll fight for a new Congress.

Biden is unveiling two new steps President Barack Obama is taking on gun violence. The executive actions don't require approval from Congress, where gun legislation collapsed earlier this year.

One new step will curb the import of military surplus weapons. The Obama administration is also proposing to close a loophole that lets certain weapons be registered to corporations without background checks.

Will dry up M1 Garands sold through the CMP which are bought by Patriots but do nothing to interfere with illegal guns possessed by his and Holder's people.

Check.

To complete the sentence...smelly septic Obamaholes.

And then they can shove a lot of other things back in. (Oh, forgot, the Obamahole’s been there and done that.)

The executive actions don't require approval from Congress

Following excerpt is from the Washington Post ... about President Truman's 1952 seizure of the steel industry.

"If the President is found to have such authority, we shall no longer have a government of laws enacted by representatives of the people."

The US Supreme Court, soon after, voided President Truman's steel plant seizure.

***One new step will curb the import of military surplus weapons.***

So, he is going to again ban the import of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles? Johnson did this back in 1968!

Wonder if he will allow the import of 5 shot bolt action Police rifles, even though they are the same as the WWII army surplus rifles?

Well, so much for getting a Mosin Nagant now...

What a bunch of effing idiots. How many crimes are committed with old surplus firearms?!

Does anyone know if this will affect the importation of ammo, or do I have to hoard spam cans of 5.45x39 now?

When he unleashes his armed and armored federal police force on the US Public, he does not want them walking into 170 Gr FMJs at 2800 fps.

Guess I will have to break out my old Remington 700.

Joe, is there any reason we should take you seriously?

Are you going to call for Obama’s impeachment if he doesn’t meet the Congressional Approval criteria you so emotionally laid out for Bush in 2007?
