Did he actually sign this invasion of privacy, and ill concieved rules/regulations?

 

[murphydog]

I recommend $23 donations to the NRA, SAF, and other organizations that will need the resources for the upcoming legal battles.

Regarding the above "executive actions" - what a joke.

Ok I may be having a blond moment here but how exactly is the CDC anywhere near it's realm of expertise in a matter like this?

i actually like this one...but wish it was some other group than the cdc or the reason stated, except that the cdc may actually consider mental health issues a disease and have insight into them...who knows...

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

They want to background check the seller?

 

[Baddog]

Maybe he sees the run on anything AR related as a sickness?

It isn't...Causes of gun crime have been studied by criminologists since there was such a thing as criminologists...LOL

In all, the list of actions is mostly "feel good" rhetoric. The main thing to do now is to keep after our respective legislators to make them aware that ANY legislative actions that would infringe on the 2A will not be tolerated.

I read a suggestion on another forum that I thought you all can take advantage off. Physical mail makes more impact than email. But instead of sending letters, send post cards, because they will get through the Capital mail system much faster than any correspondence that is enclosed in an envelope.

They want to background check private sales.

 

[2hawk]

This is the first I've seen of the list, do you have a source?

 

[Moonman]

They want to CHECK EVERYTHING and then they WANT THEM!

 

[andrewb70]

This is the first I've seen of the list, do you have a source?

It is all over...here is one source

Obama executive actions to reduce gun violence

[Buffalohunter60]

I bet the agents that protect the Presidents family will not be limited to ten rounds....or even semi-automatic. I wonder what this does for the $200 tax to own a fully automatic or the $200 tax to own a supressor?

 

[justcruisen67]

Ok not trying to beat a dead horse...but for some reason I am having a hard time just letting go of this one....

Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.

The CDC Mission
Collaborating to create the expertise, information, and tools that people and communities need to protect their health – through health promotion, prevention of disease, injury and disability, and preparedness for new health threats.

Now unless I am missing something here my understanding of the CDC primary focus was in diease and health outbreak prevention. I do not still quite understand how they would be able to determine cause and prevention of gun violence unles there is some kind of virus, diease, or something that is being given to the population that would cause someone to go bonkers.....Like I said I dont know why i am stuck on this one.....I am really tryin to move past it.....but like most of the item on this list....it's "Chappin;" my ***!

 

[StlBluesFan72]

Like having ATF to research use of growth hormones or pesticides in our food!

 

[2hawk]

Thanks for the source links.

Attempts to call guns a public health threat are just a way to open a new avenue for restrictions. That's why the CDC is in the mix.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

These first three sure look like preparation for national gun registration.
Am I the only one to see this?

 

[murphydog]

The CDC, during anti-gun Presidential administrations, was notorious for advancing the notion of gun violence being like an infectious disease. No fair guessing what their suggested "cure" was given this bias. (Hint: "ridding the world of guns".)

I also seem to recall proposals (if not passed legislation) that de-funded this nonsense.

 

[kcode]

I do get a laugh out of #4, having the attorney general check to make sure the wrong people don't buy or own guns......what happened to "Fast and Furious".

 

[Moonman]

kcode,

He's still checking.
