OK folks, hot off the press.....
Here is the story about Obama's plan.
It has opposing candidates opine already weighing in on the matter.
Now, can we start here, with his claim, agree with it, and why, or debunk it, and why, thanks
“The president is a petulant child,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told “Fox News Sunday.” “Whenever he doesn’t get what he wants, … this president acts like a king.”
Obama said over the weekend that he’ll meet Monday with Attorney General Loretta Lynch to discuss his options on tightening federal firearms laws to reduce violence, after instructing his White House team several months ago to look at what types of “action” he could take.
Obama purportedly will use executive action to require small-scale gun sellers to order background checks on prospective buyers and tighten laws for gun sales to those who have committed domestic-abuse offenses.
“The president has a pattern of taking away rights of citizens,” GOP candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told “Fox News Sunday.”
Bush suggested that he didn’t object in principle to keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, but that he is wary of how far-reaching and burdensome the proposed changes might be on small-scale gun sellers.
“How do you know?” he asked. “The better approach would be to punish people who violate federal gun laws. … If it’s such a great idea let (Obama) go to Congress.”
The president tried unsuccessfully in the aftermath of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school, in Newtown, Conn., to get Congress to pass comprehensive gun control legislation.
The National Rifle Association, which opposed that plan, also opposes the new plan, calling it a “political stunt.”
Christie and others point out that Obama last year tried to use executive action to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the United State and work. However, a federal appeals court has temporarily stopped that action, pending a final ruling.
“I’m sure (the gun executive action) will get stopped by the courts,” Christie said Sunday.I underlined the part I would like qualified.
Is this a loop hole currently?
Is their any evidence firearms have been acquired, and used in mass killings through this "loop hole"?
Thank you!
Edit: BTW, I think bot even stated this, before he opted out of this thread:
“ … If it’s such a great idea let (Obama) go to Congress."By his statement, it says the same thing to me, I think in reasoning:
So,.. if everything Obama is proposing, is already in effect,... there should be no objection to his enacting, already enacted laws...
He will pacify those wanting action, without making any more restrictions than already exist...
Good for you... Right?... Maybe you should thank him...
