Why would a politician want criminals to have the upper hand on the voters?
That gives 9 days to get a gun control bill through the House and Senate for Joe Biden's guarantee to be true. Now I know that Biden is about as sharp as round post; but he has been in the Senate forever. Even he has to realize that what he "guaranteed" would be extremely difficult even with a relatively uncontroversial bill. With gun control, such a thing has literally never happened.
Part of it makes me wonder if they are deliberately trying to use a panic to create scarcity since they know they are unlikely to achieve one through legislation?
When they are one on he same.Why would a politician want criminals to have the upper hand on the voters?
thank god we only have to be afraid of mass murder for only 3.5 more weeks!
Joe Biden told Thomas Menino (one of the mayors in Bloomberg's anti-gun group) that they would pass legislation by the end of January "guaranteed."
“He said, ‘Tommy, I guarantee you, we’ll get it done by the end of January,’” Menino said at City Hall today.
We've had quite a few threads which explored that question lately, but the answer is that an executive order is a directive from the President to the law enforcement folks under his command as leader of the executive branch of government. In it he tells them how he wants them to enforce EXISTING laws. He cannot make new laws via E.O., just define how tightly, loosely, or in what specific way he wants his federal LEO agencies to apply the text Congress wrote in a given law.What are the limits of an executive order and can they be undone?
You expect factual answers to that?how many people here are willing to register or give up their arms willfully?
despite whatever may happen, how many people here are willing to register or give up their arms willfully?
Look at your young children and picture them living in govt housing and growing up in that enviroment entails while you sit in prision because you wanted to play the patriot bit.
Somethings are more important than a 30rd mag or a 10/22 you pick your battles and raise another generation to cherish what you believe in that will delay the inevitable.
rswartsell said:...In my opinion the worst posts are the hysterical "call to arms, cold dead hands" type. It has never been more importand than now for the gun community to present a calm, rational and well reasoned face to the undecideds.
I have seen posts recently advocating all kinds of extremism incluiding armed insurrection. In my mind nothing hurts the RKBA cause more than giving the committed antis a hyper excitable, violent, intolerant image of the gun community to present to undecided populus to help stoke fear.
You alredy believe that a gun ban is inevitable, but see value in dragging out the misery another generation instead of fighting for your rights.
This I believe is the single worst post I've ever seen on THR.
