But I want this..........

President Barack Obama says each of his proposed steps to reduce gun violence should get a vote in Congress — even an assault weapons ban that both parties agree stands little chance of passing.

Yo Bo, the American people have spoken. They want nothing to do with a ban.
Fawk you and your attempt at leveraging Congress.


How many want to guess he tries to overstep and "Color outside of the Constitutional lines"??

I wonder if that is even possible; ie can he try to issue an executive order instating an AWB? Unfortunately, ignorant in the workings of that type of overstep.

They know this is going to die, so this is a last ditch attempt to keep it alive. Kind of a "line item veto" in reverse. The executive order is what he tried first and admitted that was as far as he could legally go.

Except all he needs is a something that allows declaration of marshal law ...say like a food shortage, act of terrorism (which currently has a vacillating definition), executive branch has so many powers at the moment once criteria X,Y, and Z are met.

People will accept it open arms, and realize way too late it was a huge mistake.

But the last he would ever make. I feel confident of that.

He can try an executive order and have the BATF impose additional restrictions. He won't care if it holds up in court a year or two later.

Bullshit. Fucking BULLSHIT! What "majority of American People?" Did someone run a nationwide poll asking EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN CITIZEN for their opinion on this? Did I miss this? Nobody asked me shit.

Since when he cares for the will of the people

[roberth]

He is definitely feeling empowered.
