True, the entire executive order can be nullified by an act of congress, or a future President
but it doesnt change the fact weve officially started down a dangerous trail, one that ends in absolute tyranny. To make it simple to understand whats happening weve decided to take an article written by Breitbart news and share it with you. This will give you a full and complete understanding of what is happening and how itll affect you. 1. The main policy would not have stopped any recent mass shootings. The controls expand background checks to cover more private sellers, although private sellers are not the source of guns used in mass shootings and high-profile shootingsthe very kinds of incidents Obama claims he wants to reduce. Every mass shooter and high profile shooter in recent memorywith the exception of those who stole their gunsbought their guns via background checks. For this reason, even the New York Daily News described Obamas pending background check expansion as meaningless, saying, the last 15 mass killers all passed
background checks to acquire firearms. 2. 225 years of precedent, destroyedwithout any legislative due process. The expansion of background checks is an affront to freedom in general, because it brings private sellers under the purview of the government regardless of whether those sellers sell one gun a year or 100. Americans have been selling guns privately since 1791thats 225 yearsand now, with a swipe of his pen, Obama is saying a portion of those sales must be handled federally and conducted via background checks. This is a not-so-subtle slide toward universal background checksthe kind of background checks they have in California and Franceand it will eventually require a gun registry database in order to be enforceablelike the registry they have in France and the one they are building in California. 3. You can be denied a gun for purely financial reasons or if you are on Social Security. The attempt to bar certain Social Security beneficiaries from owning or buying guns because they are unable to manage their own finances. On July 18 Breitbart News reported on Obamas push to ban gun-possession for Social Security beneficiaries who are believed incapable of handling their own finances. On that same day the Los Angeles Times reported that a ban was being put together outside of public view, but the details that were known revealed the ban would cover those who are unable to manage their own affairs for a multitude of reasonsfrom subnormal intelligence or mental illness to incompetency, an unspecified condition, or disease. This ban has been brought under the auspices of Obamas executive gun control. 4. It adds more burdens to gun dealers who are already following the law. Obama is also using executive gun control to place even more reporting requirementsread, regulationson the backs of Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs), who are federally recognized firearms dealers. Contrary to mainstream media reports and the talking points of gun control groups, FFLs are already highly regulated and monitored by the ATF. Obamas executive action adds one more hoop through which FFLs must jump. 5. Tax dollars for smart guns that nobody wants. Obamas executive action instructs the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security to sponsor research into the smart gun technology and explore ways to further its use. This means using tax-payer money to pay for something the private sector has no interest in funding. Broad interest in smart guns is absent because they have yet to be demonstrated trustworthy. Such guns are either fitted with biometric readersthrough which they are activated by the palm or finger print or their ownersor they are paired with a bracelet or watch that emits a radio signal which activates the gun when in close proximity with it. To date, the biometric readers raise concerns that they will fail to read the correct palm or finger print if that palm or finger is caked with blood. This means the gun is useless for self-defense. As for smart guns paired with watches or bracelets, even if these guns worked the result would be that thieves would simply steal the watch or bracelet along with the gun, therefore outsmarting those who designed the gun for a new level of safety. Its scary to think weve ended up here. When Obama was first elected people cried aloud the President was bad news for fundamental liberties. Now, with this newest executive order weve been proven right. The President is not acting like a President, but a lawless tyrant. The peoples will is no longer being acknowledged and its scary to think this could get even worse with Hillary in office. Does this new executive order make you nervous? Tell us in the comments below. Poster Comment: It sure makes me nervous. This brings us all one step closer to a tyranny based on the ownership of firearms. And this can never be tolerated.
