Perhaps you should take your Constitutional scholarship and explain it to the next President. He certainly seems to have a different interpretation.

Stem cell research, abortion funding, drilling for oil... These are typical of things that have been subject to "executive order musical chairs" since the Reagan era at least.

Again, it's not as though we here at THR just discovered the power of executive orders. The idea that a president can just start issuing decrees about anything under the sun shows a startling lack of understanding about how the system works.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides Obama is smarter and more politically astute than any President in a long while. This country's got monumental problems now and it'll take a centrist approach to solve them.

If ALL of B.O.s judge appointees(federal and supreme court) are anti 2A then they not he will go after guns. But what's the difference?

Does anybody in here think B.O. will appoint even ONE pro 2A judge?
 
Well, and the fact that the Brady campaign endorsed BHO, Im sure he has somthing up his sleve..

The stores I regularly visit in our area have been slammed. One sold 30 on Saturday alone, the other was doing 20K dollar a day all week and is nearly out of everything related to black rifles.


Gunowners remember 1994. The new president is a socialist, basically dishonest and he is leading the most anti-gun senate and congress in history. Nothing good can come of this.
 
my main gunshop i go to ran out of anything to do with high cap in 2 hours, another is hiding their stuff in the back so they can raise prices on em.
 
EERRR AAAAHHHH maybe it is because people know the socialist are liars:banghead::cuss::D:D

Totally off base and just what some reporter is looking for as she/he trolls gun forums.

Anyone who believes that Obama has sincere desires to "help" the country is a fool. He is simply an evil man. Most politicians are though. Power mongers.
 
It will be interesting to see how many folks who are buying to resell fare once the new AWB goes into place, remember the recent attempts did not have any grandfather clause. "Pre-Ban" Magazines won't exist, all of them will be illegal. They learned last time (but they forget the political fallout).
 
I find it hard to believe that you guys are worried now after the last 8 years of the constitution burning.
If you think Obama is an evil man there is something wrong with you. His love for his familiy and country is no less than any of us. I also have yet to hear of a story of him behaving like a jerk.
this is not the case for the angry hateful current crop in th WH.
BTW Mccain got an F from the GOA.
 
I don't worry about the executive orders telling us that we can not have guns. If I am not mistaken, it was written into the Texas state constitution for the right to have guns. No matter what hussain says, he can not userp state constitutional law no matter how powerful he thinks he is.
 
remember the recent attempts did not have any grandfather clause.

The most recent attempt actually put in writing was HR1022 and it DID have a grandfather clause for OWNERSHIP, but not for transfer.
 
You just better hope that someone does not shoot up a school or an office building in the next 6 months or all hell will break loose........
 
Obama would be very foolish to mess with the one thing that is absolutely booming in this economy. GUNS!!

But it wouldn’t surprise me if he did.
 
AWB-II in my opinion. If it does happen it sounds like it will be 4 to 6 months at least before they even consider it, but prices will rise.

Oh, right. Well, then I retract my previous statements. :rolleyes:

I do not disagree with this statement, in many ways. I have no doubt that he thinks that he is doing the right things. I happen to disagree.

You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned, "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits."

Are you for real...??? No offense, but...do you watch the news? Do you keep up with..Never mind..Have you just gotten back from a long vacation?:banghead: He's got an agenda, and guns are a part of it....

I'm always hoping that...:uhoh:
 
Quite simply all I can say is that most people, including myself, are worried about something bad happening which will prevent our abaility to attain firearms and ammunition or a situation which will force us to use them.
 
Despite what the MSM and The Savior Himself want us to believe, I fear that there will be another AWB and that firearms, ammo and components will be heavily taxed along with everything else. I may buy one new gun but my main focus is on boolits, powder and primers.
