Obama executive actions on guns coming Tuesday
REMEMBER 'THE DICK ACT' AND THE 2ND AMENDMENT'
'president' Obama expected to create 'national registry' through back door (like everything else these traitors do - Jarrett, Lynch, Bloomberg, and all the muslim czars, et al - WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED FOR TREASON?)
WND Exclusive Leo Hohmann Jan 4 2016
The White House announced it will unveil President Obama’s promised executive orders Tuesday morning on “common sense” gun control, but Second Amendment advocates and Republicans in Congress say “not so fast.”
They’re gearing up for a battle that will extend to the legislative branch and the courts.
Obama is expected to announce his unilateral plans to work around Congress to rein in gun sales and “make our communities safer,” according to a White House statement that appears to borrow the exact talking points of Michael Bloomberg’s Every Town For Gun Safety. He plans to deliver remarks at 11:40 a.m. EST Tuesday from the East Room. The president also plans to pitch his ideas at a nationally televised town hall Thursday with Anderson Cooper on CNN.
On Monday evening, the White House released a memo titled, “Promoting Smart Gun Technology.” The memo ordered the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security to “conduct or sponsor research into gun safety technology that would reduce the frequency of accidental discharge or unauthorized use of firearms, and improve the tracing of lost or stolen guns.” The White House also instructed the departments to “explore potential ways to further [the technology's] use and development to more broadly improve gun safety.”
In the memo, Obama said he directed the Department of Justice in 2013 to review gun safety technologies “such as devices requiring a scan of the owner’s fingerprint before a gun can fire.”
The memo didn’t indicate whether Obama’s executive actions Tuesday will involve only smart-gun technologies or also expand requirements for background checks.
If Obama acts without Congress’ approval to expand background checks to person-to-person gun transfers among fellow gun enthusiasts, he will in effect be laying the foundation for a national gun registry, critics say. And they’re preparing to push back hard against any such measures.
“If you think Obama is going to stop now, you are badly mistaken. This is only the beginning,” Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, told WND.
“President Obama is determined to take away our Second Amendment rights before he leaves office. He has made a public promise to enact his gun control agenda with or without Congress,” Gottlieb said. “Now it appears he is starting to make good on his promise through executive orders. This is a direct assault on our Second Amendment rights.”
Gottlieb said if Obama follows through with this assault, he should expect SAF and other groups to mount a vigorous legal challenge.
“We intend to bring a lawsuit against this to the Obama administration if he follows through on his executive orders and regulations against our constitutional and civil rights,” Gottlieb said.
Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., said Republicans in Congress will attempt to cut funding for any executive orders on gun control, but the legislative body has already given up much of its leverage by passing the omnibus budget bill just before Christmas.
“I hope we will (defund), but that’s been part of the problem. And we’ve funded the 'government' through September, so again we’ve given up some of our leverage before we’ve ever been able to negotiate,” said Brat, who was one of the minority of Republicans who voted against omnibus.
Brat told WND he believes Obama may also be seeking to distract the American public from his failed foreign policy and slack national security policy in the wake of the Dec. 2 attack by two jihadists that killed 14 Americans in San Bernardino, California.
“That gun issue is a smoke screen for the most important issues right now, which are foreign policy, national security, refugees and the poor economic performance,” Brat told WND. “That’s what has the American people feeling so unsettled right now. So the 'president' has managed to create a policy that eats up the headlines.”
Fox News’ Senior Judicial Analyst Andrew Napolitano told Neil Cavuto Monday that Obama’s executive actions will be “clearly unconstitutional” and will most likely be invalidated in the courts.
“The 'president' is attempting to rewrite the law in a way that Congress has rejected,” Napolitano said. That sets up a rematch of a battle between the administration and the National Rifle Association over the issue of expanded background checks.
Obama huddled Monday with his attorney general, Loretta Lynch, to discuss the pending executive action on guns. The most likely regulations, according to reports, are expanding background checks and also broadening the definition of what constitutes a firearms “dealer.”
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has played an advisory role in Obama’s emerging executive orders.
“He personally met with the 'president' and is working with him to get public support for his going around Congress to implement this plan of action against Second Amendment constitutional rights,” Gottlieb said.
Jerry Henry, president of GeorgiaCarry.org and an expert on firearms laws, said the so-called “gun show” loophole in the federal law requiring background checks is “non-existent.”
Any licensed dealer who sells at a gun show must conduct a background check on everyone he sells to, whether it’s at a gun show, in a store, in a private residence or on a street corner.
But many Americans buy or sell several guns per year as a hobby. Some of these person-to-person sales, known as “private sales,” are conducted at gun shows simply because this is where a lot of hobbyists find each other.
“If I’m walking down the aisle of a gun show and I’ve got a gun over my shoulder and someone says, ‘How much you want for that?,’ then I can sell it to him and that’s what’s known as a private sale. And no background check is required,” Henry said. “However, if I know that person to be a suspicious person and I sell him the gun anyway, I have just committed a felony.”
One of the possible ways around this “loophole” is to place a limit on the number of guns a person can sell privately before being considered a firearms dealer.
“They’ve been talking about trying to force people who sell five or more guns a year to become a federal firearms dealer,” Henry said. “Right now, if you’re not in the business of selling firearms, you don’t have to have a license. But if you are in it to make a living at it, then you have to have one. There is no specific number right now that triggers the need for a license.”
Henry said he believes the real reason behind such rules is to hassle law-abiding gun owners and allow the government to track the movement of all guns, creating in effect a national gun registry. “Some just like to trade firearms. I know a guy who will get a gun and he’ll have it a month or three weeks and decide he didn’t really want it and he’ll trade it for something else. People like him would have to get a license,” Henry said.
Another option is to go the way of Washington state, which recently passed a voter-approved initiative requiring all transfers of guns, even loans of guns between family members, to trigger the need for a background check. “Other than those two things, I don’t know what else he can do that would be even close to being legal, and I’m not sure he can do any of this with it being legal,” he added.
“What they are really aiming at doing, what they have really wanted over years and years is a national registry. And if they do get that, every gun that changes hands, you will have to register it, and you have what is known as a national gun registry, where the government knows where all the guns are,” Henry said.
From that point, the next step – confiscation – can easily be implemented at any time, either selectively against certain groups or wholesale.
Henry said this is the critical point that many Americans who support universal background checks don’t understand. “If there should ever come to be a national registry, then that means the government would be able to walk into your house anytime they want to and check if you have guns that are not on their lists,” he said. “And if you do have one of those guns, you should be carted off to jail.”
“People will say, ‘I don’t see a problem with that.’ But they don’t stop to think, ‘If the 'government' can come into my house to check to see if I have something not on that list, they then can come into your house and check, too,’” he said. “That will basically be the end of what few civil rights we have left in this country.”

GOP presidential candidates react
Many of the GOP presidential candidates have come down forcefully against Obama’s looming executive orders on guns. Cruz said Obama thinks he can work around Congress because he’s got “a pen and a phone.”
“He can abuse his power all he wants,” Cruz said in a stump speech in Iowa Monday. “Well, if you live by the pen, you die by the pen. And my pen has got an eraser.”
Marco Rubio issued a similar ultimatum, saying he would undo any executive order restricting gun purchases “on my first day in office.”
Jeb Bush said Obama’s “first impulse always is to take rights away from law-abiding citizens, and it’s wrong.”
Trump looking one step ahead
Donald Trump said he believed Obama’s executive actions were merely a starting point, not an end game, when it comes to guns. “Pretty soon you won’t be able to get guns,” he told CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “It’s another step in the way of not getting guns.”
Trump suggested that the keys to blunting mass shootings are an increased focus on mental health – a focus on “the people that actually pull the trigger on the gun” – and a push to put those weapons in the hands of civilians. “If the people in Paris had guns, you know what, you wouldn’t have had 134 people and many more to follow get killed,” he said. “And if people in California had guns, a couple of guns in that room, you wouldn’t have had 16 people killed.”
Trump also used the interview to slam areas where guns are prohibited or restricted, saying, “Whenever I see gun-free zone, that’s a flag for the wackos to come in and start shooting people.”
Henry said he expects the CNN town hall meeting to be largely a staged event meant to sway public opinion. Polls show the vast majority of Americans don’t want stiffer gun-control laws.
“I don’t guess you’ll see the list of Second Amendment supporters that will be asking questions of Barack Obama,” Henry said. “You can guess he is not. And if he is, his answer has been totally vetted. The answer will come up on the teleprompter.”
“One of the things that makes me feel kind of decent about this is he’s taking so long to do it, and that means he’s having trouble figuring out what he’s going to do and how he’s going to do it,” Henry said.
Paul Ryan calls plan ‘executive overreach’
Ryan issued a statement Monday saying Obama was subverting the Constitution and distracting attention from “radical Islamic terror.”

His statement read in part:
“We should also better enforce the laws we have on the books now to keep guns out of the hands of violent criminals. Instead, the president is again targeting law-abiding citizens, intruding further into innocent Americans’ lives. At a time when the country wants the president to lead the fight against radical Islamic terror, this is yet another attempt to divide and distract from his failed policies.
“While we don’t yet know the details of the plan, the president is at minimum subverting the legislative branch, and potentially overturning its will. His proposals to restrict gun rights were debated by the United States Senate, and they were rejected. No president should be able to reverse legislative failure by executive fiat, not even incrementally. The American people deserve a president who will respect their constitutional rights – all of them. This is a dangerous level of executive overreach, and the country will not stand for it.”http://www.wnd.com/2016/01/obama-executive-actions-on-guns-coming-tuesday/

You can't impeach an impostor,... but you CAN ARREST an impostor. See? Barry Soetoro is an impostor,... he's not the president of the United States of America,... he's CEO of the corporation that has enslaved this nations people. WHERE THE HELL IS OUR MILITARY? Our country needs you,... now!
I just watched the live feed. He said many times "Nobody's coming to confiscate your guns". Has anyone else noticed that these evil b@stards always tell us what they WILL do before they do it? Slaveman HAS SPOKEN ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!! IT'S TIME TO ARREST THE MUSLIM RUNNING OUR COUNTRY! I am a 52yr old woman, I don't know if fighting is my thing. But I will load my husbands gun while he shoots those who come to take them! WHERE IS THE REPUBLIC AND OUR MILITARY? Time is growing short! Robin
We need a nice nuclear war to sanitize away the Obama voters. Besides Nuclear Winter Cures Global Warming. We need to apply the same rules from banking and finance to university research grants, trial lawyers, and union funds. Defeated plaintiff attorneys should be subject to victorious defendent's malpractice suits. Professors molest more youth than clergy do. Privatize the university-grants complex (NSF, NIH, NOAA, NASA, NIST, NEH, NEA) so corporations may own university patents. Deport foreign born Obama voters for sedition. Blame professulas whose posh pensions graze on stumbent loan interest from vacuous degrees in basket weaving commie nutty organizing. Turn grant grubbing blatherers into fuel. Your islamosympathic gutterswabbing clothing and pierced privates spread disease. If you weren't such baby killing, vermin snuggling perverts you wouldn't be driving up our health costs, then collecting disability for your commie nutty organizing dementia. Your passive aggressive labor unions grab our guns, cars (congestion pricing), balls (SONDA), wallets, and homes but we will grab your throats and dang you from trailer bone tolls. Any immigrant who visits his birth country should be expatriated and denaturalized. Apply Sarbanes Oxley to non-profits! Repeal the sixteenth amendment before any VAT. All the homeless are drugged out hippies. Second Amendment is the ONLY Homeland Security, and Reagan said it extended to nukes. Wait until we waste all your stumbent subprimes, so you need to sell your affectation glutton art and work instead of diverting tuition and Y2K scams to soviet freezeniks! If you controlled your own pension neither your boss nor the government could abuse it. Lynch soviet wealth fund abetting aghadhimmic peakies when oil plummets! Parasites complain about salaries but pig out with benefits. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Thomas Jefferson. “If you live each day as it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right” Steve Jobs. What all these newcomers ain’t be understanding is that violence combats control freakery. It discourages officials from grandiose schemes. It makes public servants behave humbly, unlike these clownswit transit workers who think it assaulting them is a felony it is ok for them to drop you off on top of a pile of garbage or even to ignore you waiting while they lobby to congestion price you out of your car and further into their web of control. Entrepreneurs would think too much about tomorrow will never take risks today. They would do great things today instead of worry about “healthcare” and “occupational safety”! It is the constant death and creative destruction which makes America great, which ends the ties to the old world which divide us and which amkes us worry about what really matters. Global warming is a grant grubbing extortion racket. Urban sprawl annoys terrorists. Hazards and pollution stem mostly from mandates. Aqua volte! This land wasn't build by bullocraps.
You cant go around congress obama you fucking idiot. Thats called treason and will put you in jail for the rest of your miserable life.
He is guilty of crimes against humanity for using the irs and DoJ as tools to selectively discriminate and suppress Americans who oppose his view points. He is guilty of crimes against humanity, war crimes and acts of aggression as it pertains to Egypt, Ukraine, Lydia and Syria. Every one of these offenses carries a mandatory 30 year sentence upon conviction by the ICC. Yet, either no one has filed charges or the ICC refuses to act upon the charges.
He should be indicted for treason on one of the many criminal offenses that tie back to either threatening national security through his actions or subversion of the Constitution. Unfortunately no one whom has the responsibility of taking him into custody and holding him accountable for his crimes will. They are either culpable in the crimes committed, culpable of similar crimes and need to protect the status quo to avoid suffering a similar fate, or too ignorant to act. Either way until there is a large enough ground swell of the general public who are willing to stand up and march on DC and force the Douche-bag Criminal parasites to abide by their sworn duty you'll never see this POS held accountable for any of his crimes.
Sadly America has been infected with an undiagnosed mental disorder called progressivism that results in the creation of liberals that are incapable of acknowledging any facts that are in conflict with their reality, which is based on emotion not logic. The disorder has had such an agressive outbreak that it has managed to cripple the greatest country ever conceived and for that reason Gino we are unlikely to see any semblance of justice for crimes committed.
Now that is one good woman standing behind her man. lol I LOVE IT!!!! You go girl!
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THE [GOOD] MILITARY ARE AND THE MILITIA? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MEN AND WOMAN DOING? ARREST THEM ALL! NOT JUST OBAMA BECAUSE ANOTHER ONE WILL POP UP UNDER THEIR CONTROL. I ALWAYS GO TO THE TOP AND WORK MY WAY DOWN WHEN SOMEONE ANNOYS ME.
