January 15, 201313 yr http://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/biden-guns-executive-actions-86187.html?hp=t1_3 The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I still don't know how much Executive Orders can do to our situation. Is this bad? Or REALLY bad?
January 15, 201313 yr I'm betting they are primarily enforcement related rather than substantive. Things like increasing ATF's budget, manpower, etc.
January 15, 201313 yr 19?!!!!!!?? Umm.... Could be very bad! Most likely trade imports, background checks, and some type of additional tax.... Hopefully I'm completely wrong.
January 15, 201313 yr I read an article on Politico in which they interviewed a Dem Senator in the meeting with JoeBi...he said the 19 items focus on reinforcing existing laws..and that the Dems are coming to terms that AWB is too risky politically..we shall see
January 15, 201313 yr Lets hope that's all. My concern is what I see coming. Making everybody register the guns they have. In NJ they basically have the data base. First step is to identify who has what type of gun. This way God forbid step 2 comes (confiscation) they have the data base.
January 15, 201313 yr We shall see, I feel they will try to slip something sneaky in. They will state that they understand they won't be able to pass an AWB, so here are some revisions to current laws that will help. You can keep your gun, but it has to be registered so we can get a per capita count and assess an increased tax on your county. When your state realizes that the increased number of guns is costing the state extra money, they will impose a tax on the individuals. I'm ranting.... Disregard.
January 15, 201313 yr Well I hope we continue to be loud..JoJo the idiot circus boy Cuomo back peddled today on his confiscation comments

First step is to identify who has what type of gun. This way God forbid step 2 comes (confiscation) they have the data base. Thats what I don't understand. people who bought AR15's in the early 80s at gun stores in NJ why did they have to register them again?
January 15, 201313 yr 1: An executive order has no power outside of Government branches and Government Agencies. 2: An Executive Order cannot change a law, or create one, or change the Constitution (to do so would defeat the Constitution and be held countable to High Treason) 3: If said EO violates the 2nd Amendment, we have no duty to follow any unconstitutional laws. Chances are, anything that comes out of this Administration is going to be for show. At least I hope so.
January 15, 201313 yr Thats what I don't understand. people who bought AR15's in the early 80s at gun stores in NJ why did they have to register them again? If I read NY's ideas correctly, you can keep it but once you die it can't be passed on.
January 15, 201313 yr Listen, too late to start panicking... lets just see what happens this week. Not like we can decide whether to run out and buy ARs tomorrow - they're all gone anyway.
January 15, 201313 yr If Obama does maybe he will get impeached: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2013/jan/14/rep-stockman-threatens-impeach-obama-gun-control/
