Obama considers executive action on guns

[Gunn]

The problem is, like during hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Who authorized the authorities to confiscate the guns from the people who decided not to evacuate? With all of the looting and killing that was going on, the last thing the people needed was the government coming in taking the only protection people had away from them.

I will never forget the little old lady, who would not leave because they wouldn't let her pets on board the bus to evacuate. She stayed to take care of them, in a relatively safe area. The "authorities" raided her house and demanded she give up her guns, but they couldn't force her to leave the area against her will. I wouldn't leave my pets to starve to death either.

Sometimes you can't wait for the courts to decide.

Yeah your right, Michelle. I remember that too. Those SOB's managed to find a loophole and use a emergency crisis to take advantage of gun confisication at the time. But Bush put a stop that BS from ever happening again with new federal laws, thank god.

It is sad but people that have to give up thier guns because of people killing people have a chance of a political take over. I go with Carson, the Nazis took the guns away and looked what happen.

The Australian government took away the guns and look what happened.

That's right. We have more shooting now than ever before. You don't need to go to a gun shop, just your local pub.

My local what? WHICH ONE! There's too many to choose from!!

[preacherman76]

Depends on whether it's constitutional or not. He could make his decree, but if the supreme court finds it unconstitutional then he's SOL.

The very idea of a executive order is unconstitutional.

Just curious... what would this "back ground check" be looking for? The pantter of these school shooters is they don't have criminal history behaviour. So what will the background checks be zeroing in on to disqualify applicants? ...reclusive white young males parents divorced spends most of day playing online video games m********ing to tranny porn.... Sorry your application has been DENIED.... next!

Ahhh, but if you do something flashy like that you can avoid having to do anything of any substance.

maybe protection orders against them too. I think local judges and sheriffs should have the authority to take guns away from the local nuts before they act. Families, neighbors and coworkers should be able to report threatening people and local authorities should be able to act. Of course the NRA and their gang think any taking of guns is wrong. but I really don't care what they think. the second amendment is not well written for the 21rst century and should be repealed. it makes no sense.

Gun dealerships already do this.

Id just like to say, I think 0bama doesn't give a crap about gun violence. He's got more blood on his hands then just about anyone. He just wants more control. Especially before Americans figure out how bad 0bama screwed us with the TPP.

blood on his hands? what nonsense is that? bush cheney have the blood of 1000's of americans and millions of Iraqi's on their hands. of course that is of no consequence to you. you would rather make stuff up about the black guy.

[Beefers]

Still has nothing to do with the fact that the second amendment is written in stone.

Umm... no it's not. It's an AMENDMENT.

[questionmark]

Umm... no it's not. It's an AMENDMENT.

And even if it was not an amendment: nothing is written in stone but by social consensus.

[Ashotep]

As far as Americans are concerned it is written in stone.

What gets me they can add all kinds of stipulations to gun ownership but somehow they can't change anything about birthright.

I'm confused how far executive orders can go now in days.

It really appears like am executive order can be anything a president says it is

Presidents use exective order a lot but in Obamas case its what he uses it for. He should not sidestep congress with this issue.

Oh great, so now gun owners are shooting at shop-lifters. Who's next? Jaywalkers?

"On Tuesday, customers were coming and going in the parking lot of a Home Depot near Detroit when a shoplifter suddenly came tearing across the blacktop. The shoplifter, who appeared to be in his 40s and wore a black shirt and hat, was pushing a cart full of stolen power tools and welding equipment worth more than $1,000.

As a Home Depot loss prevention officer came running after him, the shoplifter shoved the stolen goods into a waiting black SUV and jumped in.

That’s when a female bystander pulled out a concealed pistol and fired several shots at the fleeing shoplifters, possibly striking one of the SUV’s rear tires.

The shoplifters nonetheless escaped, according to a press release from the Auburn Hills Police Department."

stranger than fiction.

that shooting would probably be illegal. even cops cannot shoot fleeing felons any more. it's good thing she missed. the visceral reaction is, shoot the Bast***s but bystanders could be killed.

On that idiot who shot at a shoplifter:

What the bloody hell? Even an armed police officer cannot shoot at a fleeing suspect, unless they or the public are in direct danger. What possessed this twit in thinking that she'd be a hero in firing in a public place at a person and vehicle that wasn't exactly threating anybody? I suppose that this person had at least done some range training, in which you are trained NOT TO FIRE WHEN THERE'S A CHANCE YOU MAY HIT ANYBODY BY ACCIDENT. And wasn't there something from last week, in which another genius who had seen a carjacking, decided to assist by firing on the jackers. And hit the poor victim instead. Which then leads to the question would both these people be charged with attempted murder, or is there a law in any of the states on the lines of being a right prat in charge of a handgun?

No the woman shouldn't have shot at the thief since her life wasn't in danger. But now the focus is on the law abiding citizen instead of the criminal.

[mbrn30000]

I remember an old COPS rerun. I think it was texas. this old woman in her 80's at least called in a prowler...as the cops and camera get there she is on her back porch firing a pistol into the woods behind her house..lol....shooting in the direction of where she thinks the prowler is...and the cops were stunned...I am sure some raccoon or possum was dodging lead...it was funny. but dangerous too.

So basically, the Wild West wasnt fiction, it was prediction.

1) If Obama tries anything against gun ownership, he'll be in direct violation of the Constitution (again....for a self-professed constitutional law professor he's not very good at it, is he?)

2) Anything, and I mean anything, Obama says he should do should be combated and prevented at every chance. Just a wise thing to do when it comes to our Worst POTUS in History.
