Obama Administration Pushing For New Gun Control Laws

[Coach Hank Crisp]

Law abiding citizens shooting pistols and rifles is a sport supported by the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution.

"Apparently not feeling unpopular enough as the economy tanks, the Obama administration is apparently set to push for new gun control regulation. But that doesn’t mean they’re looking to Congress to send the administration new bills to sign.

In typical Obama fashion, he’s just going to implement the new policy through executive fiat.

Half a year after the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), the Obama administration is set to release a series of reforms to the current gun law, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Thursday.

The reforms, which are being crafted by the Department of Justice, come after a series of meetings with relevant stakeholders in the Second Amendment debate. But in a nod to the difficulties of getting legislation through a Republican-run House of Representatives, only executive orders or administrative actions — and not an actual bill — are expected to be handed to Congress.

Administration officials were coy on the specifics, from the reforms the Department of Justice would recommend or when it would actually make those recommendations.

“The president directed the Attorney General to form working groups with key stakeholders to identify common sense measures that would improve American safety and security while fully respecting Second Amendment rights,” Carney said at Thursday’s briefing. “That process is well underway at the Department of Justice with stakeholders on all sides working through these complex issues and we expect to have more specific announcements in the near future.”

This, of course, comes after the Obama administration allowed thousands of illegal weapons to flow into Mexico as part of the (apparently stimulus-funded) Project Gunrunner scandal.

GRRRRRRRRR.   It'll be contested and reversed but yet another example of this admin overstepping.

Am I the only one who thinks its funny that in the statement from Carney he used the words "common sense" ? Those words should not be used in anyway by an administration that has none.

Liberal common sense means:

gun control is good
taxes are good
we need more government
people making more than $250 K are greedy, evil, & selfish
the government knows what's best
George Bush is at fault for all the world's problems including global warming

The reason this admin has little common sense is because only 8% of them have worked and held jobs in the private sector.

Yeah, but they've graduated from Yale and Harvard and worked all this out in the faculty lounge with great success as professors. The rest of us are just too dumb to know better.

Even their hypotheticals are ridiculous--9.2% unemployment is a good time to increase taxes on job creators. WOW

This is so true MD. It also says that no matter what this Commander-in-Chief does he is never wrong. Those stimulus packages they sent out I didn't get one cause I am disabled, what is the poor man, and middle class going to do if they keep this up? RTR!

LOL. They'll tell you they are for helping the working class, but you never really see it happen. They give an occassional hand out but never a hand up, because that may deplete their constituancy.

Don't take it personal Preacher. I don't know anybody that the stimulus package helped. It most certainly has not helped our economy.

If it comes around again, I'll see if we can get any $$$ for you in the "Cash for Clunkers" program.

I say let Obama do it.  That will surely put yet another nail in his presidential coffin to ensure he doesn't get re-elected...
