The strong possibility of executive action to regulate firearms was initially discussed by Jim Kouri with Examiner in November 2012.
An anti-gun owner initiative considered in Washington could lead to massive civil disobedience and a severe domestic crisis, gun law expert John M. Snyder warned on Friday.
“According to confidential information,” he said, “forces linked with the administration suggest the government classify semiautomatic firearms and multiple capacity ammunition feeding devices as Title 2 National Firearms Act items under the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Americans familiar with federal gun laws understand that under this scenario, semiautomatics and high capacity magazines could be acquired only with great difficulty and at great expense by America’s estimated 100 million law-abiding firearms owners, notes Snyder.
Additionally, after observing the Obama administration for four years now, I and a number of gun rights experts and journalists (such as David Codrea) had discussed this via e-mail. The possibility that Congress wouldn’t go along with the unconstitutional laws and regulations being proposed is non-trivial, and Obama’s history demonstrates that he would have a work-around planned.
I decided to run with this report in What To Expect On Gun Control In The Coming Months, using a report at World Net Daily. I feel rather exonerated that crazy uncle Joe has now spoken for the administration and informed us exactly that Obama intends to do.
“The president is going to act,” vowed Mr. Biden, whom Mr. Obama tapped to head the task force on the issue. “There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet. But we’re compiling it all with the help [of] the attorney general and all the rest of the Cabinet members as well as legislative action we believe is required.”
But it’s more than just being right, although it pays to be right. This is about the constitution, and whether America will allow the dictator to get away with this. Will the republic be saved, or will we just acquiesce to totalitarianism? Our future is at stake.
