It's like playing poker. He's puffing up like he's got a straight flush, when in reality he's got nothing. He's bluffing, and can't do a thing and he knows it.
If you read them closely, they are mostly fluff (like appoint an ATF head) to make it appear that he is doing something. It appears among people who follow such things that this is a dog and pony show for the hardcore gun grabbers. What likely transpired was that the House and Senate Dems told him that they'd get slaughtered and perhaps lose the Senate in the mid-terms over any outrageous proposals.For all his bluster to take extra-constitutional action and unilaterally outlaw weapons, magazines, or private transactions by bypassing congress, none of these EOs appear at first glance to do any of that. All proposed legislation (such as the Feinstein bill) still has to pass the House and Senate.
In Monty Python’s “Lumberjack” sketch, a reluctant, nervous, and possibly psychotic barber pretends to cut his customer’s hair. Taking a solitary snip in the air, he proclaims that his job is done. Don’t be ridiculous old fellow, complains his charge. “I know when a chap’s cut my hair and when he hasn’t. So will you please stop fooling around and get on with it?”Joe Biden might well have a similar conversation with the American public, for his gun-control commission has taken a comparable attitude toward its work. Tasked with the grandiose goal of making sure that an incident such as Sandy Hook “cannot happen again,” it has issued its report impossibly fast — one month and done.
If the White House believes an “assault weapons” ban or a restriction on the size of magazines is imperative, then it should steadily make that case and extend its time frame to years rather than months. Instead, it looks likely to go for a combination of very minor quick wins and larger symbolic gestures that it knows full well will die in Congress. What, a cynic might ask, are its real aims are here?
At the end of Monty Python’s sketch, the terrified barber pulls out a tape machine, onto which he has recorded idle chatter and the sound of scissors clipping. For a minute or so, this fools his customer into believing that he is actually getting a haircut. Joe Biden’s phony commission might have convinced some Americans that the Obama administration was acting in good faith, too. But anybody who has watched it go about its business over the last month will realize that it has been merely snipping in the air.
I seen on infowars.com that some if this if going to make this a snitch culture which already is. I told my wife not to answer any DR'S questions on guns mom neither.
You know what the sad thing is,his bs is working. There are people out there who are giving their rights to the government no questions asked. I always wondered how hitler was able to come to power, not saying Obama is evil like him, but some people won't put up a fight, they just bow down and hand over their freedoms willingly, with no second thoughts. It's very disturbing.
