Funny.....here I thought it was the Legislative Branch that legislates

[sirs]

All this time, its really been whatever the head of the Executive branch wants, in the way of legislation.  He just writes it down in an executive order and "bam"... supposed law of the land  So, THAT's what they were teaching our Community Organizer & Chief, when he claimed to be a "Constitutional scholar"?

Don't just stand there.

Go out and buy more GUNS!!!!!

every gun you own makes you safer.

[sirs]

Don't need to.  But our President has no authority to try and trample on other people's freedom to buy more

And it has nothing to do with "more", but everything to do with the "freedom" to buy more

But now that you mention it......I could reconsider getting that bolt action 5.56

Obama boo whoo's about school children being shot at Sandy Hook...etc...
But Obama's background check executive order would not have prevented
Sandy Hook
Columbine
Colorado Movie Theater
San Bernardino mass shooting
Charleston Black Church

[sirs]

Oh, didn't you here his response to that?.....he "rejects" it, as if that makes the point go away

NOTHING, he's currently pushing outside of his Constitutional limits, would have stopped ANY of those shooting locations he rattled off

He talked about "solutions"....even stressed it.  What the hell are these executive actions supposed to be doing in coming up with a "solution" to these shootings?  All this is, is more abuse of power at the hands of the executive branch, and specifically to make it that much harder for law abiding folks to legally purchase & sell firearms

[sirs]

....and ironically, this is also another example of the difference between conservatives and toe-tag liberals.  If a President Trump or President Rubio were trying to push executive orders, that completely supported my POV on let's say, immigration, or tax reform, in bypassing Congress.....I WOUND STRONGLY REBUKE THE EFFORT

But if the left does an end around the Constitution......well, that's ok, because the ends justify the means.  That's the moral high ground they continually fail to appreciate....and as a result, when they get all up in arms at something they perceive the right to be doing nefariously, they have no moral highground to reinforce any such condemnation

[sirs]

I guess its safe to say you don't really have to have known what the Constitution was all about, when claiming to have taught it.  Kind of like a plumbing trying to explain needlepoint, when claiming to have taught plumbing

There is no moral high ground when you are hawking lethal weapons.

[Christians4LessGvt]

There is no moral high ground when you are hawking lethal weapons.

So Obama selling weapons around the world is immoral?

I doubt there is anyone on the planet that "hawks" as many weapons as Barack Hussein Obama.

[sirs]

There is no moral high ground when you are hawking lethal weapons.

Who exactly is "hawking" lethal weapons??  Point here is that folks like yourself have no moral foundation to try and condemn something you perceive the right is doing, when you continually support overt efforts to circumvent our Constitution, to push your own ideological agenda

[Christians4LessGvt]

Who exactly is "hawking" lethal weapons??

SIRS....there is no doubt Xavier is going to say "gun stores and gun manufacturers are hawking lethal weapons".

[sirs]

That would be no different than grocerey stores hawking bananas, or a wedding boutique hawking bridal gowns

[Christians4LessGvt]

That would be no different than grocerey stores hawking bananas, or a wedding boutique hawking bridal gowns

but he doesn't want to outlaw bananas
he's gonna say "ever seen a banana at a mass shooting"?
whatever leftists decide for the peasants, even if it means ignoring the Constitution they will try to do it.

[sirs]

And, of course, the response to that would be no one has a constitutional right to a banana
