Why a Renewal of the 1994 Assault Weapon Ban is NOT Happening....

Executive orders "have the power of law and they can cover just about anything," Tobias said in a telephone interview.

I think that about says it all!

There is this really famous document... maybe you have heard of it... US constitution... might want to read it some time..

Mainly artical 2...   but Articals 1 and 3 would also be helpful.

Talk Radio's Billy Cunningham just talked about B-Ho may use Exec Order power to stop the import of foreign ammo which in turn will cause American ammo to go through the roof...and so it begins

Cooptire, I LOVE that avatar  ROFL

TAB , Do you live under a rock ? Just wondering, because for the EIGHT years the Bush beating pinheads that you are surrounded by, (among other places, granted ) having been screaming their empty little heads off about the things the current Pres has used EO's to accomplish. Articles 1,2, and 3 not withstanding there wasn't crap they could do about it.
It was the head of Clintoons transition team that made the statement"wave a pen, make a law, pretty cool huh?"
You need one of those cranalanalectomies. Or was it the rarified air of Officer country that caused brain damage ?

Tom Gresham gave out the web site change.gov so people could check it out for themselves, during the show a lady called in to say the comments about guns had been removed, if you still want to get to them go to

Gun references are high lited, (at least the word gun is )

I was on change.gov a day or two ago.  Poof!  His pages and pages of Agenda is down to a couple paragraphs.  A public agenda gone secret.  Must have directed that practicing his Executive Order power.

Why did they pulled it?  I had to ask...(sent via the change.gov website contact page)

The many pages of agenda on this website seem to have disappeared?  Will The President-elect be posting  new agenda explanations soon?  I am particularly interested in an expanded explanation of his stance on the Second Amendment and a more exact definition of "common sense" firearms laws?  Please reference the below agenda item under the "Urban Policy" page which is now no longer available for viewing on the Change.gov website:

"Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets."

Thank you

It is not happening because......

1) As previously said - it will be expanded & made permanent. Then registration/confiscation by EO if not all the above. 

2) They changed their minds & now like guns. 

3) Public outcry & gun sales have been so brisk, they decided the public was not in favor of this & decided to go along with public opinion. 

4) They know they are wrong & will withdraw from the UN to oppose their 'gun rights' stand. 

5) yea - right!

What I fear more than anything is that they will cozy up to the U.N., and then the Second Amendment will just be one small piece of the problem.

Guys and Gals,

The 1994 Weapons ban still exists in MA.  It never went away and guess what?  The Governor of MA is a close friend of our future president.  I can be done and most likely, will be done...

We need to be proactive and we need to be UNITED! MB and Gresham, as well as many other industry luminaries need to get together, as I am sure they are doing.  More importantly than that, those of us that are "less equal" than some MUST be informed and united as well. I know this is the choir, but we need to bring in the millions of gun owners out there, into the fold, so to speak. Don't ask me how, I just believe we need to do it.

Erase the bad taste that the NRA gives even some gun owners, I guess.
