Obama EO's on the way and they're BAD

[MuzzleFlash]

Just got off the phone with an industry professional who is pretty wired into things. Here's what he's hearing:

1. Obama has been told not to expect much action from congress on an AWB.
2. Obama has decided to take unilateral action and issue several EO's.
   
   • An EO defining large capacity feeding devices as destructive devices under the NFA. Beta Mags, belts, drums, etc. Unsure if they will go for 30 round AR mags. Some talk of limiting it to capacities > 50. This would likely be ruled unlawful but we're looking at two years of litigation and possibly a change on SCOTUS before it gets there.
   • There will be a NFA amnesty restricted to registering these devices. This will require serialization and other required markings. How do you serialize a Browning 30 cal belt?
   • They want to make this mag ban a wedge issue for the 2014 mid terms.
   • There will be other EO's banning importation of standard capacity mags, belts and drums.
   
   
3. They are hoping - even banking on - a few cold dead hands types to take up arms against them. They want the fight so they can try to split the gun rights groups and voting block into "extremists" radicals and the hunters and sporting clays types.

I hope I am wrong.

I heard he was going to declare bankruptcy for the entire United States.

Not wanting to add to the rumor mill too much, but both my wife and I have federal jobs and both of our offices have rumors that federal employees may be subject to the EO's to the tune of not being able to be employed if you own AW's, high cap mags or other NFA items.

I heard he was using an executive order to declare himself dictator.

I hate the terminology "common sense gun control". That statement alone is designed to belittle and insult someone who opposes what they are saying. Mother fuckers.

PS good job "pro gun liberals" for your continued support in the regime. Sonsabitches.
