Anyone else watching Obama address the nation? Say goodbye to your gun rights..

[CathyInBlue]

Obama's fixin' tah git `imself impeached for usurping the powers delegated tah Congress.

 

[Diesel24v]

Maybe he will force every household to own and maintain a firearm like the city in Georgia!

 

[Hoosierkav]

With an executive order, would it be "Anyone possessing a weapon with a magazine greater than X rounds is now illegal" or would it be a prohibition on selling new magazine/guns or?

In other words, what would it really look like?

Are we rushing out to spend money on things which then would need to be surrendered? Or maybe illegal to use....

We are living in interesting times.

Darn Chinese.

Yes, that curse sounds pretty innocuous for a curse until you really stop and think about it.

I suppose that depends entirely upon your perspective.

Surrender? I was not aware of that being an option. Why should we just lay down and let happen to us what has happened to other countries that have banned guns from law abiding citizens.

It says alot for someone to go to a prayer memorial and adavance a political agenda.

 

[lucky4034]

I used to think that the gun ban was crazy talk, but then I saw this speech. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...

Yep me too... I pretty much dismissed gun ban talk (at least for the immediate future) until this shooting. I always felt like this country could move towards a gun ban... but it just seemed so far fetched given all the guns here and all the legal owners.

My guess is he will try to ban anything semi-auto....

 

[Expat]

He framed it well. If you aren't for the gun ban, you are for murdering children.

 

[jpwfranks]

I would say that "surrendering" our firearms which the US Constitution clearly states that we have a right to "keep and bear" might not be the best idea.

 

[Mackey]

Surely it's going to be an order to get the crazy homocidal loners before they get us. Unless somehow, it's just the simple availability of guns in our society that is making people do these insane things. That's probably it. In any event, I'm sure our President will save us from ourselves and do what's right for the common good.

He didn't name an agenda... only to "ACT"... I'm sure those at the memorial want action...but probably don't have a clue on what he is referring to. Remember, its probably easier for us to read between the lines than it is for the general public.

 

[Steelman]

The next ban will be the last one. One way or the other.

I'm for banning kids and whack jobs. Without these, there would be no whack job on kid violence.

With regards to Obama, why?

 

[Notavictim646]

Does anyone know what action he can take on his own? Could he direct the ATF to reclassify certain firearms to make them class III? Then demand registration and only approve government agents and the well connected?

 

[Hookeye]

An insane person killed those children.
An evil person would use them as pawns.

 

[sepe]

With regards to [STRIKE]Obama[/STRIKE]either major party presidential candidate in the last cycle, why?

FIFY

 

[Ipeachy]

Why isn't anyone addressing the real issue for this tragedy? It's that a woman with a son who has mental health issues allowed him access to her guns. It's not about the type of weapons owned by individuals but in the personal responsibility you have for the safe keeping of all weapons.
