Bend Over! Obama has a new plan. (Video Feed)

[Heffay]

He's doing a great job making it the citizens responsibility to change congress instead of his. By making it so that it's congresses job to take action, he can guarantee he'll never have to vote on a new AWB.

He has four on stage.

I'm watching the CNN feed. It's just him and Joe. But I trust you that they are there.

They have shown them, he has specifically addressed Julia on stage a moment ago.

[Evad]

He talked about Chicago street corners. Why bring that up when those guns are already not affeced by a proosed ban?

[Heffay]

So, what are these 23 executive orders?

Just so you know my bend over title is not anti gay but a take on being submisive.

Obama is onstage and this is all his doing.

Shutup peasant and pay attention. The proposals will be given to you when needed.

[ex-LT]

He mentioned something about (and I don't recall the exact wording) "supporting the millions of lawful gun owners in this country."

If that's the case, WHY is he punishing them?

[fabb600]

I watched about 3 seconds and had to turn the channel. Lies, misdirection, propaganda.

[northernbird]

Anyone catch what he signed? I just caught the last couple minutes of the speach and then him saying '..now lets sign these orders' huh? what? orders to do/prevent what?

Some of those are pretty good, especially the data sharing stuff. Reviewing gun lock/safe standards, etc. Nothing in there is really that bad.

I wonder if Eric Holder signed off on #9 and #10?

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

Running background checks for "private sellers" bothers me. That is a new requirement I am not aware of.

I think it's to show them how they can do it for 2 parties who wish to go through the system. It doesn't make it required. But if you sell a gun to a 3rd party and want to use an FFL to do the checks, it probably clarifies how it can be done. Optional though.

That's my best guess.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.

This is the one that scares me.....I don't want the government in charge of teaching "safe" and "responsible" gun ownership.
