Someone needs to read the president his title. President of the United States, not King Obama.

He also needs a refresher course in eighth grade civics and separation of powers.

He doesn't want our guns, people. He believes in the Second Amendment because he said so. Please be reasonable. :totap:

I am sort of confused....I thought he gave Biden the month to have his meetings, it's only been a week. :headscratch

So frustrating that they can't admit it is NOT about saving "even one life", it is about total control over what the subjects are able to do. If it was about saving lives they would admit:

1. that having a gun saves lives

2. that removing the legality of any firearms will cost lives

3. that putting down mad dogs makes more sense than warehousing them as some will be released early to kill or maime again

4. that the ACLU has probably has more blood on it's hands than the NRA ever will

5. that they do NOT represent the majority of the people of this country

6. they are afraid of the real will of the people

No excutive order that contradicts the constitution is lawful.

The question is, how many will comply?

They haven't paid much attention to the courts so far.

These nim nods have done enough to be impeached ten times over. What is congress waiting for......to be dissolved like the Russian Duma? Too late then.

That's a big Negative here...didn't vote for him, don't believe he is a citizen, don't recognize the title nor anything he feels he can force upon me. Blah Blah Blah, respect the office not the man....heard that one too, I am firm on this one, ain't happening. I don't think he is all that bright either, but I did give him more credit than trying to push AWB with an EO. I guess I was wrong. If a ban does come via EO I think he will lose a lot of his support. Even some that are for a ban, or restrictive measures don't want to live under dictator rule. I realize a lot of Eo's have been passed up until now but consider this, he executed an EO that stated in an emergency(natural or otherwise) the government assumes control over all supplies of food water and public transport, that coupled with a disarming of the populace only leads one place.
