On guns, push for executive action hits resistance
CNN ^ | Dec 4, 2015 | By Kevin Liptak, CNN White House Producer

Washington (CNN)Facing dwindling odds of successful gun control legislation before President Barack Obama leaves office, the White House is exploring executive action that would expand background checks on gun sales, officials say, though legal and administrative complications have proven difficult to surmount.

On Friday the president met with Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman severely wounded in a mass shooting in Tucson in 2011 in which six people were killed. Her husband, NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, also participated, as did senior White House advisor Valerie Jarrett.

The White House provided an update on the process, started after a shooting rampage in Oregon in October, of searching existing gun laws for openings where the administration could take unilateral action. But without a clear legal path, it could be months before any new measures are revealed.

Some people have speculated that the Sunday OTrauma Muslim Victory Lap will include an announcement on an Executive Order to implement the Intergalactic Trans-Dimensional Hypersonic Background Check, including me.

However, according to this reporter -- who as the CNN White House Producer, might be in the know -- they are months away from the Unconstitutional rewrite of the Brady Act.

Heh. I like it.

The takeaway from this article, dated yesterday, is that tomorrow's Sunday OTrauma chat is unlikely to be an announcement of illegal gun orders. Looks like we have months before he goes full-blown gungrab unconstitutional lawmaking, and thus provoking a hot Civil War.

You see my Refusenik article? It's good.

Presidents can’t change laws.

I know he thinks he can.

And he has with illegal aliens and the Republicans did nothing.

This would not be the same.

Barry needs to quit listening to his ambulance chasing, shyster “lawyers.” An Executive Order violating the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights could land his ass in big, big trouble. If he wants to “save da planet”, he doesn’t need to mess with the Second Amendment.

I will not comply. I will stand on the Bonner County Courthouse steps and exchange firearms with a friend for $1.00 per exchange.
