Obama's plan to tighten gun laws sets up rematch with powerful gun rights group NRA | Fox News

 

The plan presented here looks relatively sensible and attainable. In fact some of the staunch BGP gun guys have said these very things. :wideyed:

The King is set to rule while his lefties are on their knees bowing.

Congress is needed on this, because these actions won't be much with just executive order.

He knows he will never get the gun control he and the far Left want through Congress. His own party won't back him.

I won't disagree with that, but America overwhelmingly supports these initiatives.

There are some things that I would support and I've listed them in the past. I would be against any laws that are "Feel Good" laws only, that serve only to hinder law abiding citizens and will do little if anything to prevent gun crimes or violence.

This is the problem. The president and the dems don't know anything but "Feel Good" laws that hinder law abiding citizens and do nothing to prevent gun crimes or violence.

Agreed. You and I and a few others on here could develop a comprehensive updating of the gun laws that would impact gun crimes and violence more than these clowns...all without infringing on the rights of legal gun owners.

I don't have a problem with these:

 

“Three years ago, a bipartisan, commonsense bill would have required background checks for virtually everyone who buys a gun,” Obama said Friday. “This policy was supported by some 90 percent of the American people. It was supported by a majority of NRA households. But the gun lobby mobilized against it. And the Senate blocked it.”

 

Existing law states those who sell guns with the “principal objective of livelihood and profit” have to get a dealer’s license through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. That means they also have to conduct a background check on buyers no matter where they sell, including online or at a gun show.

The President hasn't presented a new proposal, unless I've missed something.

If it's done via EO then absolutely no.

I am fine with background checks.

 

 

I am not fine with the terror watch list.

 

Why?

 

I am a member of the NRA.....and Hillary and Obama has both called NRA members like terrorist.

 

I am also not fine with the route he is going.

 

He isn't a king, you cannot circumvent Congress.
