| The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. (Snip) The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Monday’s meeting. The executive actions could include giving the Centers

NINETEEN EOs. Too difficult via democracy and in accordance with the Constitution, so let´s do it by executive fiat. NINETEEN executive orders.

If Obama was serious about limiting guns and ammo, he wouldn´t have put Biden in charge.

If and when this entire attack on the Constitution collapses, Biden will be under the bus in a New York minute.

Guess what two words are not in the US Constitution? We´ve got a winner! Yes, the two words are "executive order."
But here are 41 words that are in the US Constitution [Article VI]:
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution...." [Emphasis added.]
Conclusion? Any covered Federal officer who acts to enforce an Executive Order that infringes on the right to keep and bear arms is in violation of his sworn oath.
So -- Tyranny? Or Liberty?
#8: Would that be a "Newark minute"?

I was at Academy today, there were a few boxes being put out on the shelves, which were mostly empty, and the ammo aisle was packed. These were not trashy folks - they were lawyers, teachers, doctors (actually, doctors´ wives, calling back to hubbies about what was available on the shelf and in bulk). This guy has no idea who his opposition is on this issue.

19 EO´s to protect dem congress critters. Refusing to negotiate with congress violates the constitution. Never passing a budget violates the constitution. Sending arms to the Muslim Brotherhood is illegal. Forcing retailers to sell guns to Mexican Cartels is illegal. Intentionally sending a US ambassador into harms way is illegal. Sending troops to Africa before congressional review is not constitutional.
Passing ObamaCare with no GOP input... then blaming the GOP for creating our debt is insane.

Trying the old tidal wave trick -- overwhelm the people with the number of EOs and hope one or two stick, and kick that can down the road a bit more. Another shooting, another terrorist attack, and it starts again.

If there was a reporter with half a brain, they would be asking BO and Biden one simple question to each of the EOs..."How does this proposed "Order" prevent or deter gun violence and in particular gun violence of the sort in Sandy Hook, Gabby Giffords and Columbine?" And, "Where is statistical, empirical, forensic proof that these "Orders" will prevent or deter such gun violence?"
Since the answer to the former query is, "It doesn´t." and the answer to the latter is, "We have none." Then the next query should be then, "Are you simply proposing the "Orders" to make you and the Democrat base feel better?"

Heard from a friend today about this...
he says he prefers the tyranny of the EOs, as anything done via legislation would simply provide cover to Obama & Co.
Given that the political potato is too hot, it´s probably no surprise that they´re taking the EO approach. Are they looking to foment violence? Why not? They´ll use the crisis to do who knows what... martial law? Suspending elections? History repeats, ladies and gents. History repeats.

DENVER - A group of Colorado sheriffs unhappy with recent gun control laws are planning to file a lawsuit to block them. The sheriffs have called a Friday morning news conference to detail their federal challenge. The lawmen said they would challenge two new laws, one limiting the size of ammunition magazines and another law to expand gun background checks. The laws were passed earlier this year in response to mass shootings in Aurora and at a school in Connecticut. Not all sheriffs opposed the bills, but some were frequent visitors to the state Capitol in an effort to prevent the gun controls.

Washington - Boston Mayor Tom Menino says information he has indicates that the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing acted alone. Menino tells ABC's "This Week" that he agreed with the decision to lock down Boston all day Friday, based on information officials had at the time. He tells ABC's "This Week" that a pipe bomb was found at another location and that another person was taken into custody. The mayor did not elaborate. One suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv), is in the hospital in serious condition. His older brother, Tamerlan, died in a police shootout

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and his gun control allies say Senate rejection of expanded background checks and other restrictions won´t stop their drive to reduce firearms violence. But their path to enacting gun curbs this year seems blocked by the National Rifle Association, and supporters of restrictions appear befuddled about what it will take to push legislation through this Congress. The Senate planned to vote Thursday on two more amendments to a gun control bill. One by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., would cut aid to state and local governments that release information on gun owners.

William Strickland waited for his grandfather to step out of his South Side home to take his paratransit ride to a kidney dialysis appointment early March 2, authorities said Saturday — then stood behind the 72-year-old man, shot him six times in the back and stole his wallet, leaving him to die just steps from his home. Prosecutors said Saturday that Strickland, 19, used the money he took from his grandfather, who also was named William Strickland, to pay for new gym shoes, a cellphone and tattoos. The teen had no criminal history but was an admitted gang member, they said.

The Second Amendment´s guarantee of a right to bear arms does not extend to the right to carry a concealed weapon in public, a federal appeals court in Denver has ruled. "We conclude that the carrying of concealed firearms is not protected by the Second Amendment . . ." Justice Carlos Lucero wrote on behalf of a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Lucero cited case law dating to the 1800s that put restrictions on walking around in public with a gun. "In light of our nation's extensive practice of restricting citizens' freedom to carry firearms in a concealed manner,

Washington - The National Rifle Association is using a Justice Department memo it obtained to argue in ads that the Obama administration believes its gun control plans won´t work unless the government seizes firearms and requires national gun registration — ideas the White House has not proposed and does not support. (Snip) Justice Department and White House officials declined to provide much information about the memo or answer questions about it on the record. The memo has the look of a preliminary document and calls itself "a cursory summary" and assessment of gun curb

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
