Texas governor challenges Obama to 'come and take' the Lone Star state's guns
UK Daily Mail ^ | 3 January 2016 | Kelly McLaughlin

Posted on 01/03/2016 1:34:00 AM PST by Windflier

Texas Gov Greg Abbott criticized President Barack Obama's plan to move ahead with possible executive actions on guns in a tweet in which he told the Commander-in-Chief to 'come & take' the state's guns.

Obama said in his weekly radio address that he is looking for ways to keep guns out of the hands of 'a dangerous few' without depending on Congress to pass a law on the fraught subject of gun control.

He plans to meet his attorney general, Loretta Lynch, on Monday to see what executive actions might be possible. Steps to strengthen background checks could come this week.

At a rally in Biloxi, Mississippi, tonight Donald Trump also pledged to undo any action Obama takes on gun control if he wins the next election.

Governor Abbott had better not be like Rick Perry was with a symbolic National Guard deployment on the southern border right before the election in 2014 for look good political purposes.

>>Is the civil war here?<<

I believe this is the civil...civil war just now. We will see what Obozo tries to throw against the wall to see what sticks in 2016.

Folks are getting FED up. Our leaders are corrupt. With the exception of a very few, they've lost the notion of “servants of the people”. They serve their own interest, that of foreign entities and that of the wealthy/connected.

A simple fact that folks need to come to grips with...we've lost our government. The republic is almost lost. Gubbamint operates Waaaaaay outside it's constitutional authority.

We no longer have separate and equal branches of government. Congress operates as one party. The judiciary no longer upholds the constitution, the create law and the executive branch has moved into a dictatorial style governing body. Not only governing by edict, but creating law through thousands of bureaucratic regulations that impact you and I directly. NO representation for the people.

This is why you see folks gravitating toward candidates such as Trump, Cruz, Carson, Fiorina. We want leaders who put America/Americans first. We either do this by the ballot box or it will be done by the ammo box. Not advocating....juss sayin.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME.

“It’ll be foreign soldiers in bright blue helmets that have no local connections/family, no sworn duty to protect our great Constitution”............

And OH what a resistance it will be. Should the Blue Helmets arrive here, they will find this nation has the LARGEST ARMED POPULATION in the world, the the only thing lacking is organized leadership. A “civil war” can begin very quickly so be ready should that day come.

Did any of us ever think people would be discussing civil action against our own country? The last 7 years has brought us to this, the question remains, will it happen?

If they do that, it will be the Progs greatest mistake. All the Third World armies in the world couldn’t defeat the American people. How many can the UN afford to bring here? How many could Obama bring here before congress grows a pair and does something?

It would only take one major defeat of Obama policies and his presidency would be finished. That is why the Republicans are running interference for him. To defeat Obama requires defeating the Republicans.

Damn, I wish I said that. Concise, True, and Profound.

You can also add the Syrian “refugees” ISIS Jihadis. 0bama is engineering a civil war to bring in the totalitarian state. In fact, with a civil war, I don’t think that 0bama would have a problem with a Russian or Chinese occupation force.

People in the federal government and the military have got to stop following orders from this traitor. The government people have been conditioned to view patriots as the real enemy, but they cannot realize that 0bama is going for a hard tyranny backed by foreign troops.

We don’t even need to repeal the 16th. If enough people refused to file and not send them any checks on Apr 15th the sh!t would hit the fan.

We could bring these traitors to their knees!

F U B O!

Well my FRiend I am afraid the goods for arming them are here and it started under Bush II.

The largest concentration of it is in Georgia. Have a niece that is married to a young gentleman that pulls duty over armament and other war type material. About 9 years ago he talked to me about shipments of UN equipment onto his base in Georgia. Talked to him a couple years back and asked him about it. He says it comes in and then goes out to other locations but Georgia is the largest in the US. Most of it in Southern and Western regions.

So the goodies are here, not too sure about the personnel but they could be flown in over night via large public airliners without a problem.

Love your sentiment but I think they already have that possibility covered.

They have invented for themselves a magic credit card that has no limit and never needs to be paid off.

2015 FedGov Credit Card Statement

   $3.249 trillion ... Taxes
 - $3.688 trillion ... Spending
-----------------------------
 = $438.9 billion .... Red Ink

And that is only if the books are to be believed ( hint: they are not ). As raising the debt ceiling is now considered an act of patriotism by the crooks in the District of Criminals, it would not be a stretch to imagine this scenario after civil disobedience with an unlikely 100% participation rate ...

   $0.000 trillion ... Taxes
 - $3.688 trillion ... Spending
-----------------------------
 = $3.688 trillion ... Red Ink

... for one or several or many years until they whipped the sheeple back to their senses.

No, I'm pretty sure that they will require iron-clad laws handed down from the People. And for their fiscal crimes I wouldn't be against waterboarding and felony prison terms. I think I'll stop right here ;-)
