Seems like the appropriate forum to post this. For those of you at work, catch the speech here.

Thanks

And here we go.....    complete with small children and their idiot parents.

[gnmwilliams]

I don't get sound on videos at work but I can already smell the BS and that's just from reading their facial expressions. The camera keeps going back and forth from the kids to Obama. Tell me when it's over.

[Jonnin]

if you refresh, it updates the major statements.  He said nothing in the past 5 min, by that account.

 

Oooo, he is going to ban everything and put all of us in a safe padded room, because if it can save one person... its worth it!

Check our conscience? What about Fast and Furious? Go back to Kenya and take the clown with you.

23 ExOrders signed but wouldnt say what they were other than options for cops/ mental therapist/ and school resource officers if the schools wanted them.

 

Asking Congress to reinstate the AWB,ban on anything over 10 round mags,universal bg checks

[NoBanStan]

So... what exactly did he sign? He went over his agenda but didn't say outright what's "happening now".

 

*edit* woops, didn't see Krull's post.

I have to say, I am ok with a lot of the EO's except the one that states it isn't illegal for doctor to ask if there are guns in the house.  He isn't outlawing anything with an EO, so that is a start.  I don't think the bans will happen in the congress.

[gnmwilliams]

This is why I hate politics! Nobody cares about the facts or the truth. Pointing out a parent of one of the dead children in the audience? Let's do the right thing by them? Bull**** Sad thing is, is that it's been this way since it's invention.

[173rdABN]

That was........

 

STUPID.

The link Krull posted above I believe outlines the EOs. Most of them are fairly benign. Essentially just fortifying existing laws.

Doctor: Do you have guns in your home?

Me: Nope

[LI0NSFAN]

It looked like to me most of the EO were just cleaning up laws already on the table. Most of the EO's just clarify the law that is already in place.

[npgunner]

... and as was expected ... nothing new from the idiot in charge ... just more anti second amendment group think from and for the libtards who, in the pursuit of disarming law abiding citizens, stand on the graves of those killed in tragedy to push an agenda against the freedoms granted to me by the Constitution they so despise

[enfield]

Essentially, he backed down from his rhetoric and didn't overstep his bounds. Guess the threat of impeachment was heard and he didn't like his chances. Now, when the supply catches up, we can all get some powder, mags, uppers, etc.

[Larkin]

That was a LOT of grandstanding.  If you look at foxnews.com you can find the 23 items that he "signed".  None of them were banning anything and nothing is taking action right now.

[Erik88]

What exactly just happened? Volume is off on our TVs at work

[Independent_shooter]

What is this BS?http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-unveils-sweeping-plan-battle-gun-violence-165956859--politics.html

 

"In keeping with the president’s promises, his proposals would limit the manufacture of new assault weapons and ammunition clips with more than 10 bullets – but would not affect those already on the market."

[UncleJak]

The link Krull posted has the EO's

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

 
This makes me wonder what's coming down the pipe as there's really no reason to remind FFLs on how to run background checks.  The key words here being "for private sellers".

11. Nominate an ATF director.

No good can come that.  He's not going to nominate someone who agrees with the rest of us
