Barack Obama is going to make a move on tightening gun restrictions after the holiday season ends. That’s what senior congressional aides and some in the gun-control community are promising will happen after the President returns from a holiday vacation in Hawaii in January.
The San Bernardino shooting prompted a legal review of the current gun control laws, “scrubbing through the law” as White House Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, put it. Ostensibly, the review is to help Obama find ways to limit weapon access to terrorists and future potential mass shooters, but the fallout of any executive action will inevitably limit every citizen’s access to firearms.
While it is currently uncertain what the President can realistically impose as far as gun control, both sides in the capitol believe, as one senior house GOP leadership aide put it, “something is brewing on guns.” As the New Hampshire primaries approach, Obama will do everything he can to shore up support among establishment Democrats, including affecting seriously harmful executive impositions on citizens’ rights.

What the Republicans should be doing is strengthening laws against criminals. No youthful offender status with any gun crime. No reduction or plea bargains with gun charges. Up criminal possession of a firearm to a felony with a mandatory minimum of 5 years. This would end the repeat offenders in my state that are charged with a misdemeanor multiple times. Also create a new felony charge of criminal discharge of a firearm with a minimum 10 year sentence. That way if someone uses and fires a firearm during a robbery carjacking or burglary they are looking at 15 years for the possession and discharge. These are commonsence laws that target the criminals. Democrats in my state hate when laws target the criminals. It’s tough to get votes when your constituents are locked up. When they fight these laws,call the out for the hypocrites they are and point out that clearly they are not for prevention but confiscation.

Congress is complicit in his tyranny by refusing to put a stop to it.
He’s been around a long time… Aka “devil”.
I’m tired of our Muslim president
Americans are scared and for good reason. If you seen what is going on in Germany you would know why. They are mass raping women and children, shooting churches, jumping on peoples heads after they beat them to the ground, and destroying peoples lives as they flood over the borders. These armed thugs outnumbered the police who were powerless to do anything to stop them. If the citizens had guns these muslims would not be running around destroying the city and peoples lives. the prez is flooding us with the same problem and trying to make it harder for us to arm ourselves for protection and make us soft targets. He doesn’t care about us in the slightest and I find it hard to believe he is not an illegal immigrant himself making him not fit to be pres anyway! You wont see him shedding any of his f**e tears for the rape victims and people murdered by his invasion of our borders. We are under attack from within and without and i think everyone who can legally get a weapon should do so because dark days are coming whether you want to believe it or not!
That is smart, you should not trust anyone these days. You pretty much have to pick the lesser of the evils and pray for the best. In my opinion Obama is not an American and hates Christians and Americans. He has an agenda to destroy this country as much as he can and go against the constitution any chance he gets. I do not agree with all trump says, but I know he will not sell out america and wants to help veterans and make this country great again. Trump is not a puppet as he pays for his own campaign and is not in any ones pocket.
I still don’t get it and never will. Perhaps if you lost a child (who felt exactly like you do, BTW) to senseless gunfire you might feel a little different. No, I know you won’t. Just sayin’. You bring up some good points, though.
