Wait a tick, I hear Alex Jones calling!
If he could legally do anything meaningful to prevent or reduce crime, why didn't he already do it?
Updated: The White House says it is only implementing some of the executive actions Obama announced in January.
Biden says Obama will carry the gun control fight forward on his own.

he was being sarcasticThey do that now. It's required by federal law.
No. Which is why he directed the AG to look into this exact issue back in mid January.Does the President have the power to expand the scope of who is a prohibited person by Executive Order?
We heard the same kind of stuff about Clinton in the mid 90's when the internet first flexed it's 'wild rumor dissemination' muscles. Clinton was supposed to declare martial law and throw us all in FEMA death camps.Rc, i said nothing about reelection. What it he stirs up enough hate and discontent to actually start civil war? Look how divided he has this country. None of this is by accident. He has also stated openly that he wants dhs as large and well armed as the military. Why? What purpose do they serve? Private army? Just something to think about.
