Now he's pulling the "bill of rights is ok, but still need responsible restrictions" crap...
 
I would be furious if my child was used as a pawn for some political gain.....
 
(breather while he talks about the girl grace)

for the children
for the americans to keep them safe from harm
do the right thing
for this country we love so much

going to sign these orders.
 
Sounds Like another Squib Load to me. Hire more Feds, Harass more Law abiding folks etc.etc. Congress is where the real battle will be fought. and God help us if the man gets to make any more SCOTUS appointments.
 
so who gets the blame after the next mass shooting when high-cap mags and "assault" rifles have already been banned and instead of five empty 30 round mags and an AR the shooter was found with 15 empty 10 round mags on him on a "non-assault" rifle? Hmmmm. It won't be Obama.
 
As a health care provider I find his use of the Affordable Care Act to be particularly insidious. That law is going to serve as a gateway into every aspect of our lives. This is just the beginning.
 
What's this crap about "armor piercing bullets"? To protect cops....thought it was no longer an issue...

Ok, so he signed three EO's right there. And said the stuff we expect. Any clue about the rest? MAN! I gotta board for an 18 hour flight in like, three minutes! This is killin' me!
 
There isn't anything in the doc that was released about restricting imports through EO. I was glad to see that. I'm amazed at the amount of dishonesty in a single PDF.

"We need to be responsible." I call bravo sierra on that. If you were being responsible, you would have looked at ways to solve the root problem of violence in our society, instead of restricting my rights because of prejudice against me and those like me.

Go home. Do nothing for 4 years. And then let someone who's willing to look behind the fold of politics to see the real issue step up to the plate and actually fix the problem without making everything worse.
 
Why would the panic continue...there is no chance of the ban passing the House?!
