Assuming the above link has any truth to it and is not just over dramatized for viewers and readers, this would be a dramatically unconstitutional power grab on the part of this tyrant and I would find it hard to believe anyone would stand for this, except perhaps the hand wringing, self described "I support 2A but lets not offend the anti's" types.
 
I don't doubt he will attempt some executive orders in the near future affecting gun rights, but at least several on the list violate the constitution, not the least of which is state's rights. Concealed carry is state issue, not a federal issue, and as far as I understand it, even an executive order can't force that issue. Some of the others would be so politically damaging to him and the Democrats in general, I just don't see it happening. There is a limit to what even the King...uh, President, can get away with. And with an election looming, even if Obama wants to cement his legacy in gun control, the powers that pull his strings will keep in mind that his actions could severely hurt their chances in 2016. So, I think that list is a bit over the top, and highly unlikely, but I do expect there will be some controls attempted, we just don't know which ones yet.
 
He would be insane! Total confiscation would create civil war. There is not enough man power in government to be to hit EVERYBODY at the same time. So once he starts at one end of the country the other end will be waiting and ready.
 
I'll vote hogwash. he cant implement taxes. Unless the recently passed budget says "buy all the ammunition" he cant do that either. He also cant trigger home inspections.

All these are things that they want to pass as laws, but he is not going to do any of them as executive actions.

Even Obama isn't stupid enough to attempt something like that. He'd rather regulate them out of existence, gradually. These people are very patient, and they are willing to take little steps, over time, to gradually transform us into a country of wimps without guns. It's what they've been doing for decades already - unfortunately for them, many Americans are smarter than they are :)
 
Most of the things on that list can't be done with an executive order. People get way too carried away about EOs, they're just not that significant.
 
I really wish they'd just cut to the chase and try confiscation. Settle this one and for all and send the fed govt back to 1776.

Unfortunately, feds know it wouldn't work so they're just brainwashing new generations so 40 years from now no one will want to have firearms anyway.
 
Can't say if the original post is accurate or not. But this is real:

On Dec. 21, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced legislation to block Obama's attempt to use executive action to expand gun control laws. The Hill reported that Paul's proposal would limit executive action to an advisory-only capacity and require a Congressional vote before the law can be enacted.

Why Paul only has 2% in the polls and is about to drop out of the race is a mystery to me. A man doing that kind of work should be supported in his efforts IMO.
 
I really hope the left goes all out with gun control just before the next election as I want to see these 2A dems go after their own just like the moderate muslims do, O wait never mine I can't hold my breath that long. Carry On
 
This tactic makes perfect sense. Scare the sheeple by leaking big changes in current law, then implement much smaller changes in the guise of compromise and even handedness. Not to mention, when the new regs are in place, those that stood up to fight the irrational laws will look like overeacting fools to people that didn't pay attention to what was first presented.
I sincerely wish they would just do what they truly wanted to do.
 
The ability to exercise presidential orders should be terminated. Allows one to implement government without approval of the electorate. I'm not well versed in presidential order doctrine, but fear the only way he will get his wish of bypassing the 2A to reach his dream of a gun free United socialist states of america before his term ends is by implementing some sort of restraining order against the populous. Which in turn would make it illegal to possess arms. This is way out there I know, but hurricane Katrina showed us that we need to be diligent in defending our freedoms.
 
We need to match this list with the above and let loose on these Commies. Period

The U.N. Resolution 2117 lists 21 points dealing with firearms control, but perhaps of most interest is point number 11:

"CALLS FOR MEMBER STATES TO SUPPORT WEAPONS COLLECTION and DISARMAMENT of all UN countries".

By a 53-46 vote - The U.S. Senate voted against the U.N. resolution.

This is that brief, glorious moment in history when everyone stands around...reloading.
Now, which 46 Senators voted to destroy us? Well, let their names become known ! See below . If you vote in one of the states listed with these 46 "legis..traitors". vote against
them.

In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.

The Statement of Purpose from the Senate Bill reads: "To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty." The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S. and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry, now get this, on all private guns and ammo.

Astonishingly, 46 out of our 100 United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.

Here are the 46 senators who voted to give your rights to the U.N.:
Baldwin (D-WI)
Baucus (D-MT)
Bennett (D-CO)
Blumenthal (D-CT)

These Senators voted to let the UN take OUR guns. They need to lose their next election. We have been betrayed.

46 Senators Voted to Give your 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights to the U.N.
 
Did I miss the part where ANY of those 46 senators was a Republican???

So, our civics lesson for today is that even though many on this forum claim "the R's are just as bad as the D's" one would have to completely ignore the fact that one party is ACTIVELY WORKING to destroy our 2A rights on an hourly basis.

While today the R's may suck, they suck far less than the other side if you really care about your guns and rights.
