DICK-TATOR Speaks. 11:55

[Catfish33]

Yes but the majority gave up their arms willingly. I don't see Americans being that blind.

Wow, so now I know what it must have felt like in Germany before WWII.

 

[williamsburg]

Right. Sounds like the EOs are more funding for schools, mental health resources, and money for studies through the CDC. I'm not against it.

The rest has been what he wants congress to do.

Biden's little tirade at the beginning about made me sick. That didn't help the people involved...it made him look like he cares. I'm surprised he didn't drum up a little tear.

I only heard him address 3 Exec. Orders what is the other 20? Anyone know? I read there was 23 Exec. Orders he was signing.

 

[Catfish33]

Yeah I think he should have had to read them off as he signed each one. TOTAL BS. I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW.

 

[ghuns]

I'm sure glad I don't have any "military style" weapons. Mine are all civilian style.

 

[StreetStrip01]

Yes but the majority gave up their arms willingly. I don't see Americans being that blind.

Promise them free stuff, it worked for the elections.

 

[Wild Deuce]

So this is how liberty dies ...

Thanks for the list Williamsburg

I'm encouraged that it wasn't worse, actually. Obama seems to understand that he can't take the actions he wants without Congress, which is a start, but my biggest fear is that those out-of-touch idiots will get The Chicago Treatment: intensive lobbying, arm-twisting, bribing, intimidating, and deal-making that will get the votes they need for this in exchange for some piece of legislation they want, or some pork-barrel BS that serves them and their interests instead of that of their constituents. The slow-strangle is this douche-nozzle's specialty.

We need to do our part now:

1. wallpaper our congressional representatives with our opinion, along with our promise of activism to remove them from office via election at the very next opportunity should they fail to vote our will;

2. help our congressional representatives set the debate with thought leadership, not with scaredy-cat stories and false-outrage stories that are so rife around the internet today;

3. WORK ON OUR STATE GOVERNMENT to pass laws that backstop any federal attempts to pass unconstitutional measures or take unconstitutional actions;

4. GET ACTIVE in our opposition to gun control in WAYS THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP;

and 5. propose our OWN measures for controlling violence that is being used against us, like school shootings/stabbings/bombings, etc. We know that Hollywood is a major culprit in this, and yet they get a pass. We know that the gaming industry is a major culprit in this, and yet they get a pass. We know the pharmaceutical makers are a major culprit in this, and yet they get a pass. WE HAVE TO FOCUS AND EDUCATE ON THESE ROOT CAUSES OF GREEN-ON-GREEN VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY!

So for my part, my actions will start today. I manage client relationships for a major company; my talents lie in engaging people in debates and influencing their opinions, and shaping their actions. I will be aggressively applying these skills, starting today, to our local, state, and national advocacy organizations, and will do everything in my power to become a part of the debate. That includes channeling the brainpower from us on INGO -- I would propose we begin meeting in our respective areas to come up with ideas and propose methods for bringing them to bear. I will be posting this list in other places here as well, but I have to get this out here while it's still fresh in my mind.

Thoughts/comments?

Yummy, yummy left over deer chili. Man, this stuff is even better two days later.

He has no legal leg to stand on. I just don't see a AWB passing or a mag capacity ban. I think the private sales without a third party for background checks will be done, unenforceable but illegal nonetheless.

Now, what happens when he doesn't get what he wants? I smell taxes.

Who knows? It's all conjecture at this point. Eat deer chili, scream "MOLON LABE MFER" at the TV and get back to work.

I think you're giving the gun community too much credit. Look at how fast the gun community started to gouge one another for Pmags as soon as the prices started to rise.

 

[tenring]

Pay very close attention to # 16, especially veterans who use the VA system!

 

[jdhaines]

So you prefer a dictatorship as opposed to our representative republic ?

What? I said his executive orders weren't anything I disagree with. I don't like the guy, but the ones he discussed (1. more money to schools to hire security if they want it 2. making sure mental health facilities have the ability to report information to NICS 3. fundnig the CDC to study gun violence and what may actually have an effect) aren't bad. The CDC is a much better candidate to study the effects unbiasedly than the ATF or other alphabet org. He didn't try to legislate from his desk, and he openly said the "important measures" must be passed by congress. This eases some fears he'll try something major in the EOs. At least until more information is presented.

There is enough to hate about the guy that we don't need to hate him for things that aren't a big deal.

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

As in, should the private seller choose to do so? Or, WHEN Congress passes a law saying they are required to?

More an "IF" IMO. The battle is gonna be uphill, so I don't see this as a firm "This will / won't happen" but a "This is what we're aiming to do"

 

[KW730]

Funny this is done in middle of day when most Americans cant view it!

It's available 24 hours a day on The White House so I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at.

 

[srad]

I see he brought some lil' human shields, just like his homie Saddam. Nice touch...

I've been to DPRK on different occasions. Kids get to see this photo of their Dear Leaders on the way into EVERY school and public square. Dictatorial propaganda at its finest.
