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.

Congress is afraid of him and the peple he has put in power
right after hell freezes over-bozo
Time to take your meds.
Why are we tolerating this POS?
Steven King Really! I mean, who the hell wants more democrat voters?
QUOTE “Under current laws, only licensed firearms dealers are required to conduct background checks on those trying to buy guns.”
Not in Illinois. You can’t even legally TOUCH a gun (or ammo) without a FOID card.
And even if your not a dealer, you legally have to call the State Police to see if the person you sell to has a valid FOID card.
There are NO loopholes in Illinois…(but we still have plenty of murders in Chicago)…
WHEN has ANY gun law done what it was intended to do?
When I was a kid you could order a gun and have it delivered to your house. After 1968, that was changed, but did it actually DO what was intended!?!? Didn’t affect the murder rate at all!
The “assault weapon” ban also did NOTHING….
So WHY do we keep passing useless laws!?!?
Fascinating how someone can be consistently obvious on how he wants things to appear. Similarly fascinating how at the same time one is apparent in hiding the truth.
Obama’s authority is written clearly in the Constitution. Executive Orders issued by him are null if those orders run contrary to the Bill of Rights. If they, in any way, infringe on the 2A, they are illegal and unenforceable. Violating these edicts are not a violation of the law however, his penning of these decrees are certainly a violation of the Constitution and render Obama a subversive and like all citizens, subject to penalties under the law. You remember, those bills passed by congress and signed by a President into law!
Oh lookie. The most useless “man” in america is playing with his pencil set again.
