Obama considers using executive authority to expand gun buyer background checks
Democrats want to close what they say is a loophole in the law that doesn’t require background checks for guns sold over the Internet or at gun shows.
The senators will demand that “all domestic abusers” are banned from purchasing firearms, and that people are not allowed buy guns without a completed background check.
President Barack Obama is “seriously considering” using his executive authority to act on guns before he leaves the White House, The Washington Post reported. As far as I can tell, this recent shooter’s illness was either not diagnosed or was hidden by family members so background checks did not reveal any problems.
Von Spakovsky said if the president attempts to expand the background check system to individuals or entities not now encompassed under federal law those affected would have grounds to pursue a lawsuit. Along the way the NRA has accumulated enough money to either buy or intimidate the politicians they need to help maintain the gun frenzy. “I just ask you“.
It was at least the 13th time he’d taken the podium after a mass shooting.
Pennsylvania is one of the few states that does include background checks for handguns at gun shows and in private sales.
“This is a classic situation in which a politician bases a statement on a study, but then exaggerated the conclusions to justify a policy.”
The hardliners are so entrenched with protecting the Second Amendment that they are willing to destroy our country. Both groups are pandering to their political base, and neither will be able to keep these hollow promises.
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is often intrepreted as guaranteeing Americans the right to own guns.
According to the Pew Research Center, Americans say protecting gun rights is more important than gun control by a margin of 52 percent to 46 percent. Our state isn’t secure if innocent civilians can be so easily murdered when weapons are put in the wrong hands. I have grave reservations about this.
“Polarizing as usual, Mr 0bama [sic] has insisted on politicizing the event as a conduit for increased executive orders on gun control via means of his pen, and his phone”, the description continued. “News” outlets like Fox News intensify the gun frenzy by convincing the gun nuts that leaders who are in favor of reasonable gun ownership want to take away their guns.
Well-trained police officers make mistakes and kill innocent bystanders during shootouts with criminals. “And you’re supposed to fire back in a crowded dark theater?”
While their talking points claim to represent the interests of the American people they were elected to serve, it’s hard to see where they’re getting their information when support for stricter gun laws is at an all time low.
