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.
Gun control is civil war.
NSS!
This man is a clear and present danger to every American. Can we survive to January, 2017?
He hates America and it MAKING WAR on us.
The biggest threat to US security is her President.
Confiscation won’t go well.
They shot themselves in the foot on this, no pun indented.
they are trying to provoke a civil war
to impose martial law
and proclaim officially the extension of the
dicatorship (cancelling the elections)
Go to Hell, soebarkah!
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.
screw his executive action. He can stick them where the Sun doesn’t shine
Then there is that pesky Marshal Law approach.

The Myths
Presidents can issue executive orders that are legally binding on the general public.
These executive orders are backed by the full force of law just like laws passed through the formal legislative process.
A president can use executive orders to go around congress.
The president can use executive orders to modify laws passed by congress and can order executive departments to selectively enforce provisions of laws.
These executive orders are authorized by the Constitution.
The Truth
Yes the president can issue executive orders however these orders are only binding on members of the executive department of the federal government. They are not legally binding on anyone outside the executive department.
Only laws passed through the formal legislative process have full force of law. Executive orders do not meet this requirement.
Congress alone has the power to write and pass laws. If congress chooses not to pass laws that the president advocates for the president can in no way act unilaterally. The president is restrained by the Constitution.
The president must enforce laws that are passed by the formal legislative process as they are written. If the president does not like a bill passed by congress or feels it violates the Constitution then the president can veto it before it becomes law.
Issuing executives orders that are given the full force of law is a clear violation of several provisions of the Constitution
Constitution of The United States of America....
Hey, Zippy, they also had PIPE BOMBS, why not ban plumbing to get us closer to the third world crap sandwich that you seem to want so badley?
I find it very interesting the Democrats, and especially the asshat leading this administration, his associates, and every single Democrat involved with his administration always seek ways around laws we have on the books.
Laws are on the books for reasons, for purpose. They wouldn’t be there if there wasn’t a reason for the law.
Our constitution is the basic law, it’s the foundation of our constitutional republic, and yet instead of complying with the oath of office they took at the time they were either inaugurated, or instilled in their positions the Democrat tries to circumvent the laws instead of enforce them.
It would sure be nice if they would TELL THE TRUTH here, rather than make the claim that the president cannot act by simply deeming it to be law, at least for this president.
No the TRUTH is that the DEMOCRATS in the House and Senate (who are not in safe districts) are SCARED TO DEATH about being forced to vote on a bill that would overturn whatever the President tries. I think it takes about two thirds of the Democrats to sustain a veto, so they’d be forced with supporting an illegal gun grab, or trying to save their own skins. They’d rather not have to deal with it.
I don't think he has that long. If it's past 1 March it turns the Presidential campaign into a huge referendum on gun control and everybody who has had a look at any more or less honest polls knows how badly that will turn out for the Dems, even with the undoubted enthusiastic support of the media. 0bama needs a Reichstag Fire, and this one wasn't it although to judge by the media reaction they have been eagerly anticipating it.
On a broader note, I cannot believe how out of touch the DC crowd is on this issue. We've just had 14 people murdered in an act of Islamic terrorism and all we're hearing is gun control pointed straight at American citizens, and unalloyed support for the poor oppressed Muslim population who, strangely, have yet to experience their first non-self-inflicted casualty. (And they wonder why people are buying guns). A fellow and his activist staff this out of touch are capable of almost anything, constitutional or otherwise.
