Obama's not coming to get your guns! What now?

[JakeStarkey]

Here's what the President has recommended Congress do and what he will do through Executive action and Orders.

As you can see...he's not coming to get your guns. In spite all the anguish, weeping, wailing and predictions of dire days ahead, he's actually proposing very little which is new. In fact, you might even say this response is a little tepid and it has disappointed the most rabid gun grabbers.

What say you now? Will you apologize for all the manure you've spread, for all the lies you've told, for bombarding us with your facile, simplistic, ideologically driven conspiracy theories?

i thought not. After all...it's STILL Obama....ain't it?


To be done by executive action:

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

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

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.

8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.

11. Nominate an ATF director.

12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.

13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.

15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.

19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.

20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.

21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.

23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.


Requests for congressional action:

Require criminal background checks for all gun sales. (a.k.a. closing the "gun show loophole.")

Reinstate and strengthen the assault weapons ban.

Restore the 10-round limit on ammunition magazines.

Protect police by finishing the job of getting rid of armor-piercing bullets.

Give law enforcement additional tools to prevent and prosecute gun crime.

End the freeze on gun violence research.

Make our schools safer with more school resource officers and school counselors, safer climates, and better emergency response plans.

Help ensure that young people get the mental health treatment they need.

Ensure health insurance plans cover mental health benefits.

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

Let's say I go to the doctor because I have a cold or the flu, and he ask me about my guns? I'm going too tell the bastard it's none of his god damn business then he's going to notify the authorities. It's none of his or the governments business about my private property

If you act criminally or give example that you are going to act criminally, sure, it's the government's business what you are doing and what you are doing it with.

Oh, yeah....right. I'm sure the Department of Defense stays up all night worrying about a bunch of Nuttard's with deer rifles.

Exactly. The military had .50 cal mounted on tripod back when i served > 20 yrs ago. They aren't losing sleep over someone w/ small arms. The gov't has other non-lethal crowd control methods as well as the rightiosts cheered them on for using against Wall St protesters

To be fair, though, the British weren't worried about a bunch of armed peasants in 1776, either. And, our military weren't too worried about a rag-tag bunch of Vietnamese with old rifles or the 5th century Taliban to boot.

How did that turn out?

This makes a lot of sense since those things just happened. Right?

Mad Scientist has become completely unhinged . i never figured him for a clinger Pssst: you people still have the House.

I'm not a Republican, I didn't vote for Romney.

Guns, high powered ones in the hands of Americans, are the only thing left keeping a Tyrannical Gov't at bay. That's why they wanna' take them.

You think it can't happen here because we won WWII? That was a looooooongtime a go and America has fallen a loooooooooong way.

We're ripe for the pickin'.

So cleetus with his high powered gun can take.on the marines?

Straight to your whining, and kills your nonsense. If you use private property for criminal behavior, the private property is forfeited by law. Which means you will eventually lose everything.

Stop whining.

 

[hazlnut]

Now? Hopefully a lot of mouthbreathers STFU and find some other hot "news" to try and exploit with an agenda.

You had to ruin a perfectly good thread!!

 

[JakeStarkey]

You are the whiner, bigrebnc. Your hoped-for way of life will never happen, and eventually, because you can't control your impulses, you will act criminally and pay the consequences.
