WH: DOJ will work on background checks for guns until Congress passes gun laws
washingtonexaminer ^ | 8/6/12 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 08/06/2012 10:32:29 AM PDT by ColdOne

President Obama’s spokesman blamed Congress for the lack of stronger gun control legislation and promised that the Justice Department would improve background checks to enhance security.

The president’s approach is that we should work with Congress when possible and administratively when allowed,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters when asked about strengthening gun control laws — laws that must respect Second Amendment rights, he said.

Looks like the only Nazi doesn’t just live in Wisconsin.

I guess it's too bad the Republican Voters didn't take that into consideration during the Primaries. I guess the impact of FR Posters didn't sway the masses to Vote for a true Conservative. The biggest RINO won the prize.

Preaching to the Choir in a Church full of Empty Pews hasn't worked out too good for us this year, but I have hope that the Electorate will send the Kenyan packing.

Since this isn't “Back to the Future”, we are stuck with the choice between Obama and Romney. Of those two choices, who do you think would be worse for Gun Owners?

Here's a hint, the next “Presidente” will pick at least two Justices for the SCOTUS.

ColdOne, "Licensed concealed carry holders bypass the background check."

A little clarification needed. A CC holder has already past an extensive background check and is kept up with in the LE data base. Any infraction and the CC permit is withdrawn. So, a CC holder has a standing an on going background check and you don't have to wait for it, it's been done and it's current, when making a purchase.

Just wait for the third shooting case.

Obama really wants gun control.

BECAUSE THAT WAS AN ASSAULT RIFLE!!!! In 1937. It’s just a good thing that everybody had semiautomatics before all this gun-grabbing nonsense got started or we’d be limited to single action handguns and bolt action rifles.

I AGREE with you, right to carry would not NECESSARILY have stopped that attack, and even having armed persons is no guarantee. But I DO think that if a few of those types started getting popped at the beginning of their sprees it would have a chilling effect on the whole spree killing genre.

It’s a bolt action automatic assault rifle. A Mosin Nagant. It packs a round that can shoot through an elementary school.

Just as getting mobbed and stomped by airline passengers has had a chilling effect on hijacking.

Hanging a few of them upside down on meathooks from lampposts would have a very chilling effect.

Indeed. This election is a toss between a socialist and a Marxist/Leninist.

I feel so much better now.

If he wins it means we have to fight him using other means. If we can’t stop him at the ballot box. This is why this s-h-i-t about letting him slide on all the irregularities in his record for the last four years is so incredibly offensive. We really need a recall mechanism for the man that sits up in the hut.

A key fact in each shooting is often unreported, or barely looked into.

Time from first shot to last shot by the maniac.

If it’s longer than one minute, then a citizen with a CCW could have stopped it.

Every murder past the one-minute mark should be chalked up to the killer finding a disarmed victim zone, like a wolf in a pen full of lambs.

They are DEAD we are about to TAKE THEM OUT they are SCARED and all they know how to do is pretend we aren’t there. All you have to do is look at the results in the senate race from Texas where MORE PEOPLE came out to vote in the runoff than did in the original primary, sending conservative Ted Cruz to the general, where the opponent is not given any chance at all. Desperate Dave Dewhurst threw everything but the kitchen sink at him, and was clobbered.

I think it’s very interesting - yesterday a report that the rats are having trouble selling tickets to their convention, and then reports that the pubes are going to try to pretend that the TP doesn’t exist.

I recall a saying, can’t remember from where, “first they ignore you, then they fight you, then you win.”

After the elections this fall, they’re dead. We’re taking over. Ronmey won’t matter—he’s just going to be a rubber stamp to sign the legislation we’re going to pass. He’s pliable, affable... too affable... but...

But I think he might just be a good manager—first duty of the potus—put the adults back in charge. He’s a turnaround guy and God knows we need a turnaround guy right now. If there’s a war I think he’d run it responsibly.

If Holder gets another 4 years, with Obama unleashed and not having to worry about being elected again, God help us all.

I like your analysis. The rats realized quickly they had a historic opportunity and they took it. However, I need more explanation of why you think the house is fighting a good battle, because many of us think they are shying away from using the word “NO!”, which is their primary weapon at this time.

That statement was said by Ghandi BTW.

I’m sick of the left, even more sick of the homostapo and their NAZI tactics, now they target a cake maker and Amway.

They release a report saying they will go after others who give money to the NOM.
But I’m really sick of the GOP , the cowards who remain, working with the left, with the Dems, with the homostapo, and all because they care about is their money , their wealthy, their power.

I’m really F=IN pissed off with talk radio, our side with a public voice like Hannity who never mentions conservative social issues, who hardly ever mentions guns and gun rights, who never ever mentions what the queers and the homostapo are doing to people who work hard and make a living.

Yea I’m pissed off, don’t like Romney, the establishment and certainly can’t stand this administration.

Yea I’m pissed off and if people don’t wake the hell up and quick then this country has gone into a cess pit or enclaves like the balkans.

Ilegals here, homo, there, conservatives here, left wing smelly nuts there
