| Sources: Obama's Gun Control Will Come After His Hawaiian Vacation |
| 2015-12-19 |
| h/t Instapundit Sources say that President Obama will drop his new gun control executive orders after he rests up in Hawaii over the holidays. Senior congressional aides and sources in the gun-control community expect the White House to use its executive powers to tighten federal gun laws shortly after President Barack Obama returns from a Hawaiian vacation in early January. White House mouthpiece Josh Earnest says legal review of the proposal will continue on during the holidays. Obama has been unable to pass gun control legislation through Congress (like the Constitution requires), so he is going forward and will make his own laws. Republicans have blocked Democrat efforts to pass anti-Second Amendment legislation and Democrats have blocked GOP efforts that focus on mental health issues and gun violence. |

| #5 You are under the mistaken assumption that Bumbles wants to actually solve the problem. If he did that they would no longer be able to exploit it. On the contrary - he wants to make it much worse so he can call for even more gun control. Disarming legal owners will do that. The fact that it will also make it easier for his buddies in ISIS is a bonus! |

| #2 Moreover, there are plenty of gun laws now to prosecute the thugs with stolen guns--just prosecute them. |

| #1 We had a 15 year-old kid, a well-liked football player, killed the other night in Knoxville. He was trying to shield three girls from the fire fight. Nice kid. He caught a slug in gang violence. The shooter was a 20 year-old gang member with a felony record and by definition, as a felon, he had an illegal firearm. I'd suggest that Obama concentrate on the gang violence and illegal firearms. The majority of firearms owners are law-abiding citizens--this kind of stuff just pisses everyone off--it is moronic. |
