President Obama will unveil a comprehensive effort to address gun violence as he calls on Congress to ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines as part of an aggressive agenda that is drawing resistance from some Republican lawmakers and gun rights advocates.
The president, facing criticism over his potential use of executive action to push multiple gun control measures, will be joined by children who wrote him letters about gun violence and school safety at a press conference shortly before noon on Wednesday.

Children love playmates. This is the ultimate leftist form. It is symbolism over substance. I’ve no idea what Zero is going to try to suggest or impose. I haven’t been following the discussion because, frankly, I don’t care what that moron has to say.
Here’s the long and short of it. The president doesn’t have the authority to limit my second amendment rights. Read the Constitution. It is an egregious ill that he’ll attempt. Any utterance towards limiting my right by the arbitrary whims of the president is, in fact, illegal.
Some states have taken him seriously and have passed laws stating that anyone trying to confiscate guns (read feds) will be arrested and charged with felonies. Some law enforcement officers have already stated that not only will they not comply with Zero’s dictates, but they will uphold the Constitution instead.
I would advise a different course of action. Instead of getting all riled up about what this citizen has to say, ignore the imbecile. He doesn’t have the authority to do anything. If one feels compelled to react, react in this manner…..
Sometimes, you simply have to tell a leftist to STFU and go home. Zero only has the authority people are willing to give him. He can’t limit anything by executive edict. Tell the loser to get a life.
It’s just this simple. I’m not going to listen to the moron. I’m not going to check to see if my weapons or ammunition are in compliance with his stupidity. Anyone wishing to act on his behalf in relation to his proclamations will be met with extreme prejudice.
The reason why the Second Amendment is in the constitution is because of twits like him. You don’t have a right to ignore that POS, you have an obligation to do so. It isn’t civil disobedience because, he can’t impose anything on us we don’t wish imposed.
If they come for your guns, simply read the 2nd and 4th amendments to the authorities on your step. And as they place you in handcuffs, remind them that your domicile and possessions should remain unmolested while you are in jail.
They won’t have room for all of us.
I think my reaction would be a little less civil than that.
We win if we stand united. We lose if we fight.
Powers of Executive Orders were granted to the president to aid him in managing the affairs of the offices and agencies of the Executive Branch, not the Constitution, not Congress, not the Judicial Branch and especially not the people. The idiot works for us, not the other way around. When he starts imposing “law” upon the people via Executive Order, we cease being citizens and become subjects to an imperial president.
“… it would not be Constitutional and, indeed, if he tried to override the Second Amendment in any way, I believe it would be an impeachable offense” says former Attorney General, Edwin Meese.

It is indeed our duty as “Citizens” to ignore Zero’s planned executive orders then press for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings.
Just do it Catch 22 style: Anyone who feels he needs a gun according to amendment 2 is obviously insane, so he can’t get one.
“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. ”

So FDR didn’t have the authority to take our gold. But it seems that he used executive order to remove monetary gold from the public’s hands. The courts (packed by him) didn’t say boo about it.

Too true. But, it was because the sheep allowed it to happen.
The controversy surrounding guns in the President’s children’s school has reached the point of absurdity. MSNBC is claiming that we now have an imperial presidency where “2 legs better than 4″ rules such that the president’s children are more important than yours.
The founders are rolling over in their graves. Goodbye KG III, hello EO I
MSNBC is endorsing the hypocrisy of a leftist ruler? How long has this been going on?
It seems law enforcement is taking a stand too:

Important history is fading before our eyes. We must never forget.

On Wednesday morning, Obama released a sweeping 23 executive actions and orders he will take to limit gun usage.
Yeh, all of it is toothless. It was a photo op. This is the most interesting one……
“16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.”
Watching Obama was lots MNSBS/CNN moments full of Bull***t and Bluster – NO substance and he knows it!
Exactly.
Next time you elect an empty suit take a pretty one, please.
Ignore who?
