A lesson from Warren Buffet


Buy American. I am. 

Why?


"A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors. To be sure, investors are right to be wary of highly leveraged entities or businesses in weak competitive positions. But fears regarding the long-term prosperity of the nation’s many sound companies make no sense. These businesses will indeed suffer earnings hiccups, as they always have. But most major companies will be setting new profit records 5, 10 and 20 years from now."

Boeing 787 airliners pulled out of service due to inherent lithium ion battery problem

Boeing 787 airliners pulled out of service due to inherent lithium ion battery problem

The revolutionary electrical design of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner has led to a major problem: the lithium ion batteries used are too large and are charged too fast, allowing the batteries to approach their red zone temperature of 140°C (284°F) causing fire and/or explosion. Charged Li-ion batteries contain cobalt dioxide, a strong oxidizer like nitrate in gunpowder, and flammable lithium metal. The only thing missing is enough temperature to get the show on the road. Large batteries do not dissipate heat well, and the 65 amp-hour Boeing batteries are guilty as charged (pun intended). And I bet you're staring uneasily at your cell phone about now.

A new Gold Standard is being born – by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard . . . great analysis!


A new Gold Standard is being born – by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard . . . great analysis!

The world is moving step by step towards a de facto Gold Standard, without any meetings of G20 leaders to announce the idea or bless the project.
Some readers will already have seen the GFMS Gold Survey for 2012 which reported that central banks around the world bought more bullion last year in terms of tonnage than at any time in almost half a century.
They added a net 536 tonnes in 2012 as they diversified fresh reserves away from the four fiat suspects: dollar, euro, sterling, and yen.
The Washington Accord, where Britain, Spain, Holland, South Africa, Switzerland, and others sold a chunk of their gold each year, already seems another era – the Gordon Brown era, you might call it.
That was the illusionary period when investors thought the euro would take its place as the twin pillar of a new G2 condominium alongside the dollar. That hope has faded. Central bank holdings of euro bonds have fallen back to 26pc, where they were almost a decade ago.
Neither the euro nor the dollar can inspire full confidence, although for different reasons. EMU is a dysfunctional construct, covering two incompatible economies, prone to lurching from crisis to crisis, without a unified treasury to back it up. The dollar stands on a pyramid of debt. We all know that this debt will be inflated away over time – for better or worse. The only real disagreement is over the speed.
The central bank buyers are of course the rising powers of Asia and the commodity bloc, now holders of two thirds of the world’s $11 trillion foreign reserves, and all its incremental reserves.
It is no secret that China is buying the dips, seeking to raise the gold share of its reserves well above 2pc. Russia has openly targeted a 10pc share. Variants of this are occurring from the Pacific region to the Gulf and Latin America. And now the Bundesbank has chosen to pull part of its gold from New York and Paris.
Personally, I doubt that Buba had any secret agenda, or knows something hidden from the rest of us. It responded to massive popular pressure and prodding from lawmakers in the Bundestag to bring home Germany’s gold. Yet that is not the end of the story. The fact that this popular pressure exists – and is well-organised – reflects a breakdown in trust between the major democracies and economic powers. It is a new political fact in the global system.
Pimco’s Mohammed El Erian said this may have a knock-on effect:
“In the first instance, it could translate into pressures on other countries to also repatriate part of their gold holdings. After all, if you can safely store your gold at home — a big if for some countries — no government would wish to be seen as one of the last to outsource all of this activity to foreign central banks.

If developments are limited to this problem, there would be no material impact on the functioning and well-being of the global economy. If, however, perceptions of growing mutual mistrusts translate into larger multilateral tensions, then the world would find itself facing even greater difficulties resolving payments imbalances and resisting beggar-thy-neighbour national policies.

“The most likely outcome right now is for Germany’s decision to have minimum systemic impact. But should this be wrong and the decision fuel greater suspicion – a risk scenario rather than the baseline – the resulting hit to what remains in multilateral policy co-operation would be problematic for virtually everybody.
As I reported on Tuesday, gold veteran Jim Sinclair thinks it is an earthquake, comparing it to Charles de Gaulle’s decision to pull French gold from New York in the late 1960s – the precursor to the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system three years later when Nixon suspended gold conversion.
Mr Sinclair predicts that the Bundesbank’s action will prove the death knell of dollar power. I do not really see where this argument leads. Currencies were fixed in de Gaulle’s time. They float today. It is within the EMU fixed-exchange system – ie between Germany and Spain – that we see an (old) Gold Standard dynamic at work with all its destructive power, and the risk of sudden ruptures always present. The global system is supple. It bends to pressures.
My guess is that any new Gold Standard will be sui generis, and better for it. Let gold take its place as a third reserve currency, one that cannot be devalued, and one that holds the others to account, but not so dominant that it hitches our collective destinies to the inflationary ups (yes, gold was highly inflationary after the Conquista) and the deflationary downs of global mine supply. That would indeed be a return to a barbarous relic.
Hopefully, it will be nothing like the interwar system. That was a dollar peg that transmitted US deflation to the whole world when the Fed tightened too hard in 1928 and went berserk in 1930.
A third reserve currency is just what America needs. As Prof Micheal Pettis from Beijing University has argued, holding the world’s reserve currency is an “exorbitant burden” that the US could do without.
The Triffin Dilemma – advanced by the Belgian economist Robert Triffin in the 1960s – suggests that the holder of the paramount currency faces an inherent contradiction. It must run a structural trade deficit over time to keep the system afloat, but this will undermine its own economy. The system self-destructs.
A partial Gold Standard – created by the global market, and beholden to nobody – is the best of all worlds. It offers a store of value (though no yield). It acts as a balancing force. It is not dominant enough to smother the system.
Let us have three world currencies, a tripod with a golden leg. It might even be stable.

A letter from the Post Office

A letter from the Post Office.
We don't know who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office who understands LOVE..........................
Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month.

The day after she passed away my
4-year-old daughter Meredith was
crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.

She asked if we could write a
letter to God so that when Abbey got to
heaven, God would recognize her.

I told her that I thought that we could,
so she dictated these words:

Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog?
Abbey died yesterday and is with you in heaven.
I miss her very much.

I 'm happy that you let me have her
as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her.
She likes to swim and play with balls.

I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog.

I really miss her.
Love, Meredith


We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey & Meredith,
addressed it to God/Heaven.

We put our return address on it.

Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she
said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven.
That afternoon she dropped it into
the letter box at the post office.

A few days later, she asked if God
had gotten the letter yet.
I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package
wrapped in gold paper on our front porch
addressed, 'To Meredith'
in an unfamiliar hand.

Meredith opened it.
Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers
called, 'When a Pet Dies.'

Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God
in its opened envelope.

On the opposite page was the
picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:


Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
Having the picture was a big help and I
recognized her right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore.
Her spirit is here with me just
like it stays in your heart.

Abbey loved being your dog.

Since we don't need our bodies
in heaven, I don't have any pockets to
keep your picture
in so I'm sending it back to you in this little book for
you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother
for helping you
write it and sending it to me.

What a wonderful mother
you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every
day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find.
I am wherever there is love.

Love,
God

Don't say you're too busy
to forward this.
Just go ahead and do it.

THIS PART YOU DON'T KNOW AMERICAN VALOR, BENGHAZI


Subject: THIS PART YOU DON'T KNOW AMERICAN VALOR, BENGHAZI:

The stunning part of this story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force. Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

The news has been full of the attacks on our embassies throughout the Muslim world, and in particular, the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi, Libya.

However, there’s a little known story of incredible bravery, heroics, and courage that should be the top story.

So what actually happened at the U.S. embassy in Libya? We are learning more about this every day. Ambassador Stevens and Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, along with administrative staff, were working out of temporary quarters due to the fact that in the spring of 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring, the United States cut ties with then president Moammar Gadhafi. Our embassy was looted and ransacked, causing it to be unusable. It is still in a state of disrepair.

Security for embassies and their personnel is to be provided by the host nation. Since Libya has gone through a civil war of sorts in the past 18 months, the current government is very unstable, and therefore, unreliable

A well-organized attack by radical Muslims was planned specifically targeting the temporary U.S. embassy building. The Libyan security force that was in place to protect our people deserted their post, or joined the attacking force. Either way, our people were in a real fix. And it should be noted that Ambassador Stevens had mentioned on more than one occasion to Secretary of State, “Hillary Clinton”, that he was quite concerned for his personal safety and the welfare of his people. It is thought that Ambassador Stevens was on a “hit list.”

A short distance from the American compound, two Americans were sleeping. They were in Libya as independent contractors working an assignment totally unrelated to our embassy. They also happened to be former Navy Seal’s.

When they heard the noise coming from the attack on our embassy, as you would expect from highly trained warriors, they ran to the fight. Apparently, they had no weapons, but seeing the Libyan guards dropping their guns in their haste in fleeing the scene, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty snatched up several of these discarded weapons and prepared to defend the American compound.

Not knowing exactly what was taking place, the two Seal’s set up a defensive perimeter. Unfortunately Ambassador Stevens was already gravely injured, and Foreign Service officer, Sean Smith, was dead. However, due to their quick action and suppressive fire, twenty administrative personnel in the embassy were able to escape to safety. Eventually, these two courageous men were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers brought against them, an enemy force numbering between 100 to 200 attackers which came in two waves. But the stunning part of the story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force. Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

As it became apparent to these selfless heroes, they were definitely going to lose their lives unless some reinforcements showed up in a hurry. As we know now, that was not to be. I’m fairly certain they knew they were going to die in this gun fight, but not before they took a whole lot of bad guys with them!

Consider these tenets of the Navy SEAL Code:

1) Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate,

2) Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield,

3) Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit,

4) Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates,

5) Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation, 


6) Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation’s Enemies, and...

7) Earn your Trident every day

(http://www.navyseals.com/seal-code-warrior-creed).


Thank you, Tyrone and Glen. To the very last breath, you both lived up to the SEAL Code. You served all of us well. You were courageous in the face of certain death.


And Tyrone, even though you never got to hold your newborn son, he will grow up knowing the character and quality of his father, a man among men who sacrificed himself defending others.

Obama could be removed by his own signature
By: Devvy
22nd July 2011
http://www.devvy.com/new_site/obama-reckoning-072211.html
Obama’s Oval OfficeMy recent column, Why Obama Can’t be Impeached, brought an avalanche of email with many questions. In particular, someone wanted to know if hypothetically, Barry Soetoro aka Obama, committed treason by selling sensitive military secrets, could he be charged with treason? The putative president is a civilian and can be indicted by a federal grand jury. If enough evidence exists, he could be tried and convicted. But, as someone who has usurped the office of the president, he cannot be impeached for the same crime since he does not legally occupy the office.
He clearly is guilty of violating 18 U.S.C. §1343, the federal wire fraud statute, which typically carries a penalty of at least 20 years. As a civilian, he can be indicted and tried in federal court.
Question about the oath of office ceremony. As Barry clearly has known all along he was never eligible, when he took the oath of office, he committed perjury – twice. We can all remember, there was a second ’swearing in’ due to Chief Justice John Robert’s tripping over his tongue. But, was there more to it?
At the invitation of Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., the putative president paid a ‘protocol’ visit to the Supreme Court, January 14, 2009. The visit was private behind closed doors with no media. At that time, Roberts had cases on the docket where Obama was the defendant or was the subject of pending litigation.
On a Wednesday, Roberts meets with the man at the heart of that case in private. Two days later, he sits down to discuss the case with the other justices after having a closed door meeting with the defendant! Also pending at the time was the Lightfoot v Bowen case to be heard in conference, January 23, 2009. Chief Justice Roberts sat in that private meeting to discuss whether the case should go to oral arguments; it did not. Does anyone see major conflict of interest here?
Even if they just chatted up the weather, it is highly inappropriate. Roberts should have notified the “president elect” that under the circumstances, he would not be able to meet with him, period. There must be zero appearance of any bias or preference when it comes to judges and justices of the Supreme Court.
The number one goal in seeing the putative president removed from office is that his “presidency” not be legitimized. Impeaching him would do just that. Any investigation of Barry’s crimes would have to go through the U.S. Department of Justice. A conundrum to be sure. If the usurper is removed because he is clearly ineligible, so goes Eric Holder, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayer, every other judicial appointment now confirmed and every bill he has signed into ‘law’.
The Outlaw Congress accepted the electoral college vote instead of invoking House rules and initiating an investigation. Not one of the 535 members stood up for the U.S. Constitution that day. They (including Michelle Bachmann and Ron Paul) are responsible for this severe constitutional crisis that at some point will reach critical mass.
Is there any other way the putative president could be removed from office other than a quo warranto action? Mario Apuzzo, is an attorney who has been representing plaintiffs in cases involving the putative president’s ineligibility. Mario has raised the issue of standing, a judicial hallucination, in a case, Bond v. United States, 564 U. S. decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, June 16, 2011 [emphasis mine]:
“Applying the Bond decision to a case challenging Obama’s eligibility, one would have to be criminally charged or be compelled to pay money under a statute passed by Congress when Obama was President. One would argue that under Article I, Section 7, Clause 2, laws passed by Congress need the action or inaction of the President (the veto power) before they are allowed to become laws. This requirement satisfies separation of powers and checks and balances doctrine. One would argue that Congress passed the charging statute, with the President’s action or inaction. One would argue that a legitimate President must satisfy the eligibility requirements of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, which contains the “natural born Citizen” clause. Then one would argue that the law is not valid because it never was presented to a legitimate President for consideration under Article I, Section 7, Clause 2, arguing that Obama is not a legitimate President because he does not meet the requirements of the “natural born Citizen” clause…”
Dr. Edwin Vieira raised this very remedy way back in Dec. 2008:
“For a extensive class of litigants who absolutely do have “standing” to challenge Obama’s eligibility will come into existence, and demand relief as a matter of undeniable constitutional right and practical necessity, as soon as Obama’s Department of Justice attempts to enforce through criminal prosecutions some of the controversial legislation that the new Congress will enact and Obama will sign—such as statutes aimed at stripping common Americans of the firearms to which (in Obama’s derisive terminology) they “cling.”
“For example, in a criminal prosecution under a new statute that reinstates the Clinton “assault-weapons ban” (or some equally obnoxious affront to Article I, Section 8, Clauses 15 and 16 and the Second Amendment), the defendant will undeniably have “standing” to challenge the indictment on the grounds that no statute imposing such a ban even exists, because the original “Bill which passed the House of Representatives and the Senate” was never “presented to the President of the United States”, and therefore could never “become a Law,” inasmuch as the supposed “President,” Barack Obama, being constitutionally ineligible for that office, was then and remains thereafter nothing but an usurper. [See Article I, Section 7, Clause 2 and Article II, Section 1, 4]
“Plainly, a criminal trial arising under a supposed law of the United States is a “Case” to which “the judicial Power [of the United States] shall extend”; and the defense as well will raise a specific issue “arising under th[e] Constitution, [and] the Laws of the United States.” [Article III, Section 2, Clause 1] The defendant will be suffering serious “injury in fact:” namely, a criminal indictment and a compulsory trial, with the possibility of a conviction, imprisonment, and, if the infraction is called a “felony,” the forfeiture of many civil rights even after his release from incarceration. The prosecutor on one side and the defendant on the other will be adversaries espousing diametrically opposed and irreconcilable positions—so the “Case” cannot be deemed in any way collusive. The purported statute’s invalidity by virtue of its legal nonexistence will be “ripe” for decision, because the statute is the basis for the indictment, and its invalidity the foundation of the defense to the charge. And, unless and until the prosecutor importunes the court to dismiss the indictment with prejudice, the issue of the putative statute’s legal nonexistence and inapplicability to the defendant will be anything but moot.”
Obama/Soetoro’s legal day of reckoning is coming and his downfall could come by his own signature.

Seniors Banking... PRICELESS!!


Seniors Banking... PRICELESS!!


Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman.
The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the Times.

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month.

By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it..

I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years.

You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.

My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.

From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.

My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.

Be aware that it is an OFFENSE under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.

Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete.

I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.

Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public figure, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof.

In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.

I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further.

When you call me, press buttons as follows:

IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALLING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH

#1. To make an appointment to see me

#2. To query a missing payment.

#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

#4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.

#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.

#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.

#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required.

Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.

#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 to 9

#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry.

The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.

While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?

Your Humble Client


And remember:
Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.

Russia Prepares To Label Obama Government “Criminal Regime”


DISCERNMENT ADVISED

January 18, 2013
Russia Prepares To Label Obama Government “Criminal Regime”
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A stunning proposal from the Federation Council (FC), the upper house of the Federal Assembly of Russia, to President Putin that is circulating in the Kremlin today calls for the present government of the United States, under President Barak Obama, to be labeled as a “criminal regime” due to its failure to adhere to the rule of international law, while at the same time it continues to embark upon numerous “paths of conflict” Russian lawmakers warn could ignite a catastrophic global war. 
Fueling this extraordinary action by the FC, this proposal emphasizes, is the so called Magnitsky Bill signed into law by Obama on 14 December meant to punish Russian officials that were thought to be responsible for the death of Russian attorney and auditor Sergei Magnitsky by prohibiting their entrance to the United States and use of their banking system.
Even though the Russian foreign ministry labeled this new US law a “performance in the theater of the absurd,” and Putin said about it that, “This is very bad. This, of course, poisons our relationship” with the United States,” this FC proposal notes that the top law enforcement officer in America responsible for enacting it is currently under criminal charges which the Obama regime refuses to prosecute him for.
Oleg Ivanov, a top professor at the Diplomatic Academy, Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, further warned that the Magnitsky Act would send US-Russian relations into dangerous territory, all such warnings, however, being ignored by the Obama regime.
To the FC statement in this proposal that US Attorney General Eric Holder, who is currently holding his position as America’s top lawman, while at the same time he is charged with both criminal civil offenses, is, indeed, true, and as confirmed by the BreitBart TV news service in their 17 January article titled “Holder Begs Court to Stop Document Release on Fast and Furious” which, in part, says:
Even worse about Holder, this FC proposal says, was his refusal, for the first time in US history, to prosecute criminals for breaking the law out of fears of “collateral consequences” which, in essence, says that the Obama regime will no longer go after their criminal banksters because they are “too big to prosecute.”
This astounding ruling by Holder, this FC proposal says, which was designed to protect the banksters that put the Obama regime in power in the first place, and was called“a dark day for the rule of law” by the New York Times News Service, is being kept from the American people by their mainstream propaganda media over fears of what these peoples full reaction would be to the staggering amount of money that has been stolen from them.
To the full amount of the Obama regimes crimes against its own people, this FC proposal continues, was fully detailed this past October by the Spire Law Group, who in their lawsuit on behalf of the American people stated that these  “Banksters” control their $43 trillion racketeering scheme - known as the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States history, and identified $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money by these “Banksters” and their US racketeering partners and joint venturers and pinpointed the identities of the key racketeering partners of these “Banksters” located in the highest offices of government and acting for their own self-interests. 
Aside from the Obama regimes wholesale theft of their citizen’s money, this FC proposal further warns that with the US continuing its assault upon nearly the entire world with its military forces, and with Mexico being named yesterday as the latest country where American Special Forces troops are to be deployed, the corresponding rise of tensions from peoples around the world being continually killed by these outrageous US acts could very well erupt into World War III.
To if this FC proposal will be enacted into law thus ushering in a new age of East-West tensions it is not known.  What is known, though, is that any regime like Obama’s that is bold enough to not only steal their own citizens money, and then refuse to put in jail those responsible for it, and then seeks to disarm all whom oppose them…one can surely see that the greatness of what America once was will never be again.

Obama Gun Speech Illustrates His misdirection, desperation and weakness. Do We Sense His Fear Of Being Exposed??

Announcing anti-gun measures in front of a theatrical backdrop of children, itself a tactic associated with troubling historical precedents, President Barack Obama yesterday proposed specific legislative efforts related to guns for Congress to pass, and also outlined 23 measures he says can be implemented under executive authority.
To set the stage for using children, the White House, along with a complicit anti-gun media, made a point of sharing letters from children, particularly those that resonate with the childish emotions of those who don’t know enough about guns to know they’re being manipulated. Case in point is the message from an eight-year-old who begged the president “Please don’t let people own machine guns or other powerful guns like that.”
This of course, falls right in line with a planned strategy articulated by Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center, who as far back as 1988 articulated the deception by declaring “The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons -- anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun -- can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
“First: It’s time for Congress to require a universal background check for anyone trying to buy a gun,” the president asserted. “The law already requires licensed gun dealers to run background checks, and over the last 14 years that’s kept 1.5 million of the wrong people from getting their hands on a gun.”
That claim is actually the genesis of the “Authorized Journalist” term used by Gun Rights Examiner. Years ago, this correspondent attempted to ask an anti-gun politician at another political press event why, if so many prohibited people were being stopped from buying guns via the background check system why there were not commensurate prosecutions and convictions for what is a federal felony, and was told by a police representative that questioning of officials at that event by non-government-recognized journalists was forbidden.
It also stands in stark contrast to actual practice committed and subsequently covered up by agents of the Obama administration, who purposely allowed guns to go to violent Mexican cartels as well as domestic criminals, oftentimes with gun dealers being told by federal law enforcement to ignore failed background checks and complete firearms transfers known to be illegal.
“Second: Congress should restore a ban on military-style assault weapons, and a 10-round limit for magazines,” the president declared, resurrecting a long time goal that was warned about by some, and ridiculed by those who saw an advantage in diminishing gun owner fears.
These are the two major legal changes gun rights advocates must fight tooth and nail, and remind their representatives that they will not be scapegoated, and will revenge themselves at the polls on any politician who betrays them and the oath of office. Also among Obama’s legislative proposals is a plan to ban possession of currently owned militia-suitable ("armor piercing") ammunition.
But also representing a danger are the previously “under the radar” incursions that are now threatening to drop their payloads on strategic targets.
Executive actions announced by the president include:
