He’s making a very smart decision backing the ban of AR style weapons. Please a bunch of yuppies that hate guns and urine off all the gun enthusiasts… sadly the yuppies outnumber the enthusiasts by a large number. That’s politics.

Why is this a smart decision to ban Ar style weapons?January 16, 2013 at 4:24 pm #1131405Not true. Congress will not reinstate the asssult weapons ban. Or limit magazine size. Obama knows it.

January 16, 2013 at 4:24 pm #1131406Funding for enforcement of the ban would have to go through congress regardless of whether he uses executive action or not. This will never be funded, but may be implemented at the state level anyways. Bottom line, what he is attempting to do is blatently unconstitutional…but really, what do you expect outta this
January 16, 2013 at 4:25 pm #1131407If states enact bans, the courts will overturn the law. Just happened in Illinois.

The one life it saves on the front end may cost many more on the back end.
January 16, 2013 at 5:02 pm #1131418How many lives have AR’s saved
January 16, 2013 at 5:06 pm #1131421496 people were killed by hammers last year. can we limit those? pretty sure not many of those were accidental.

I wouldn’t believe anything that comes out of Obama’s mouth. It’s all sugar coated BS He’ll say what you want to hear but his agenda remains the same

Exactly. I was about half sick watching him. Using those poor kids and the other shootings to push his agenda.

Obama used executive order to spend money on new government programs rather than make sweeping changes to law. He left that up to congress.
New programs = School cops, mental health programs and studies by the centers for desise for example.

If you mean him not going after the semi’s and clips without congress, then I guess I am too.
January 16, 2013 at 5:27 pm #1131437The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.

That and all things high-capacity including all the nice handguns so many of us have now. Todays congress is unlikely to institute any bans.
January 16, 2013 at 5:33 pm #1131442Isnt murder already illegal ? Banning any type of weapon is not going to stop a psychopath from commiting murder.

I see this as merely the opening salvo, The “camel’s head in tent” if you will! I do not for a nanosecond believe he will be satisfied with this! The heavy lifting is yet to come.

Do nothing? Your saying. Its going to cost money for what ever is that is going to be done. $500,000 million is a hefty price tag and I cant say I agree with the cost. Though I see nothing wrong in any of these executive orders. As for what the president is pushing congress to do well thats a fence I cant make my mind up on which side to land on. I mean if former president Reagan and Ford supported a ban on assault guns what is one to think.
The engines of the paranoid and fanatics have started watch the circus come to town.

Lets assume every one of these proposals were in effect the day Obama took office. Tell me how any of these would have prevented any mass shooing durning the last 4 years?

Stop it, common sense isn’t allowed in this debate.
I’m pretty sure murder was illegal during this same time frame. Cuz we all know criminals follow all the laws on the books. Again, I was pretty sick watching the President of the United States lie to the American public today.
January 16, 2013 at 7:37 pm #1131508I can not answer that nor can anyone, then nor can anyone say they would not have helped. Aside from the over priced tag where does any of these excec orders infringe on us?
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers. Is that not what the NRA would like?
Talk about common sense brake each one of these orders down they make sense to me even though many are generic and obvious in nature.
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.
Isn’t this just enforcing a law already on the books?
