    maybe we should just fight the current battle and not waste time on Reagan from twenty years ago or the battles that may or may not occur in the future. All this nonsense about Reagan apologists means nothing here and now, it just sounds like tit for tat bs we'll never get anywhere with that.

    It was my way of saying this has been going on for decades on both sides of the aisle and we need a full overhaul of both sides if we ever want our freedoms back. If those who idolize him are butt hurt then good as it makes my point even clearer that people on both sides of the aisle want to rewrite history and will again with this president IF we don't put a stop to his cronies and vote in real constitution following officials.

    To All,

    As a C&R holder I absolutely despise this nonsense. These new rule changes won't do a single thing to reduce crime or stop another mass shooting.

    All that President Obama did was throw a bone to his gun control nut supporters.

    That said, I am content at this time. The reason is, you see, is that NO permanent damage has been done. The President can claim a token measure or victory for his wing, this will get them off his back, and he will move on.

    Then, in three (3) years IF we can get a Pro2A dude (or dudette) in the WH this can be as easily removed as it was put into place. Who knows? It may even be illegal somewhere and overturned in the courts.

    Never forget - what can easily be done can just as easily be undone.

    Again, for the record, I hate this nonsense and wish it had never happened. It is pointless! I am just looking at it as a temporary speedbump and the glass is half full. Be thankful that the [STRIKE]idiots[/STRIKE], uh, [STRIKE]goobers[/STRIKE], legislators didn't pass any laws!

    Panic over. Time to move on. Wait until November 2015 and HOPE for CHANGE!

    Regards,

    Doug

    I'm not optimistic. Bush could have undone the Clinton ban on imports from China. But he didn't.

    FAQ's About Executive Orders



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_order_(United_States)
    United States Presidents issue executive orders to help officers and agencies of the executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself. Executive orders have the full force of law,[SUP][1][/SUP] since issuances are typically made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress, some of which specifically delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation), or are believed to take authority from a power granted directly to the Executive by the Constitution. However, these perceived justifications cited by Presidents when authoring Executive Orders have come under criticism for exceeding executive authority; at various times throughout U.S. history, challenges to the legal validity or justification for an order have resulted in legal proceedings.

    :dunno: WTH?! Did the POTUS watch "Gran Torino" for the in-flight movie on his last trip aboard AF-1? Clint Eastwood was menacing-looking with his M-1. Or maybe he watched Full Metal Jacket......SMDH

    Yeah, I bet it was Gran Torino. Seeing a citizen defend his property against thugs just didn't sit right with the President.

    The proposed ATFE rule on gun trusts was proposed by NFA collectors

    That's about par for the course. NFATCA says "How 'bout if you eliminate the CLEO signature for everyone, but you can require background checks for trust holders?" and ATF says "OK, we'll require background checks and CLEO signature for trust holders". :wallbash:

    How 'bout enough with the "good ideas," guys?

    ETA - here's NFATCA's spin:

    "the government ****ed us!" Really? I'm shocked. :rolleyes:

    This is nothing more than a huge middle finger to the american people, he is taking a jab at the gun collectors, cuz he knows this will not hurt him in any way with his voting base, instead they will think he is doing a great thing! This makes him look good since the articles are about "gun control" when in reality it doesnt really do much of anything on gun control. So its a win win for him, he pisses off the people that stopped him from getting something by taking away a tiny piece of the puzzle. Plain and simple this man is a CHILD

    did one not need to have a background check when having a gun registered with a trust before this EA?
