9 Will the GOP use this gift handed to them on a silver platter. That is the question. Duh is the answer.

10 Whew.. that was close.  My boss called and told me get my ass home, don't try and take shelter in the cooler.  So I raced home and spent the past 2 hours or so in the basement.  One touched down about 6 miles from me.  Very small, but still...

11 I read something on the Brady group earlier today.  They want to pressure congress to make NEW laws.

My thought is, much like border security.  How about we try enforcing the laws that ALREADY EXIST before piling on a bunch of overbearing shit on the LAW ABIDING PUBLIC.

Liberals refuse to understand the fact that LAWS are for the LAW ABIDING.  Criminals don't give a flying fuck what laws are on the books.  That's why they're called CRIMINALS, you dumb bastards.

16 This is the best news I've heard all day. If true, Sparky has no direct contact with the Clintons - thus no basic knowledge on re-election. They would have told him to never kick that sleeping "gun" dog. Here's hoping teh Won will act unilaterally against the 2nd Admendment. I savor the results of such an act. Please, please let this be true.

35 Will the GOP use this gift handed to them on a silver platter. That is the question. Duh is the answer. One reason it's usually better to nominate a very conservative candidate than a squish is that the squishes miss opportunities like this one. A Romney or a Huntsman will obsess with "moving to the center" and fail to speak out against crap like this. As I've said before, I wouldn't mind choosing a nominee based on electability, provided that candidate were really electable--as opposed to being deemed "electable" by David Frum, David Brooks, and a bunch of other Beltway people who have no idea what the average American thinks.

I'm sure it depends on the state but there are no forms currently for private party to private party sales here in MN that I know of.

Dude...I know so many people with guns that would just LOVE for the Douchebag-in-Chief to try a regulatory method of ignoring the 2nd Amendment. And I know plenty of current and retired cops and used to be one myself, and NOT A SINGLE ONE would try to enforce gun control by confiscation. More than a few have made the statement "something that stupid would get a lot of good cops and innocent civilians killed."

IF the Feds ever came a-knockin' on my door for my weapons, I'd gladly give them up...one bullet at a time from the dangerous end..

BTW, some of you morons who denigrate my state, What margin of victory did Zero win by in your enlightened, sophisticated, and educated state? Hummm?

70 And from a purely cynical, partisan interest, this is perfect politics for the GOP.

Obama cannot deny this effectively.  He's already broken his oath on the limits of executive power with Libya.  He's already shown to be a total creep with the IGs.

He can't just refer to some vague promise that we can trust him on the limits of his power, because he's already broken that.

An 'Under the radar' executive power to impose gun control is a narrative Obama should have been smart enough to avoid.  This should be a major GOP advertisement, starting today.  Every candidate should put out ads explaining that they oppose Obama's promise of "under the radar" gun control. 

71 This is goodbecause guns kill people. Let the police p[rotect us. I say three cheers for Presadent Obama and talking guns away from idiots that think they are toys !!!!!!!!!!!

The problem comes in if the gun was registered.  Gun shows still require proof of sale and a background check, do they not?  I mean, I can go to Bass Pro Shops and walk out with a gun in about 30 minutes, can't I?   What's different with a gun show?

If you have a registered S/N on a weapon and you sell it, you just need to have proof of the sale.  Otherwise you're responsible for that weapon and it's actions going forward whether you own it or not.

I'm guessing here, but that's my take.

It was also James Brady's most common comment on the subject.  Or any subject, really.  That, and drooling.

Yes I do. That's going in 9/11 truther territory.

However I totally believe that the ATF sold guns to Mexican Cartels in order to prove American guns are being used in Mexican crimes.

That seems to be factual, but I wouldn't buy assassinations. Obama's administration is a sieve, it would leak before it happened.

After reading the article, I get the impression that Obama is lying. He's just telling the anti-2nd amendment people what they want to hear in hopes of keeping their vote.

He's not going to do any gun control, at least not in 2011-2012. It would cost him the biggest hunting states which also happen to be swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, among others.

80 The God that Shits Sunshine will certainly do what he can, behind the scenes, to screw with gun rights. But I frankly think that he knows it's a losing issue for the dems and was trying to placate the Brady Bunch and shuffle them out the door.

86 This is yet another win-win for Obama. If he does this and wins, then his base is happy. If he loses in Congress, then he shifts blame on Congress and tries for the end run. Even if he decides that the end run has to go under the bus, then he is still seen as having tried to his base and the media will continue to cover for him. Example: the three witches standing around the cauldron complaining about someone daring to defy the Won.

Well  I always thought I heard it that the gun show loophole was how at gunshows you can buy guns without any background checks, so that was the boogeyman.  Because they make it sound like licensed dealers were doing this, but they were still required to do their normal checks of people even at the shows.  Its the private individuals that didn't have to do any background checks.

That was my interpretation for information.  I've never been much of a gun guy personally.

88 That private individuals can sell their guns to private individuals without any checks.

I want to sell a gun to another person, i.e., a private party transfer. Am I required to conduct the transaction through a licensed California firearms dealer?

Yes. Firearm sales must be conducted through a fully licensed California firearms dealer. Failure to do so is a violation of California law.

I have a friend in california that stores some of his collection here so I was fairly sure their laws were more onerous than most. I'd bet New York is the same way

@72: "This is goodbecause guns kill people. Let the police p[rotect us"

I respectfully disagree

96 One thing that amazes me is just how little the Republicans have used the gun issue to their advantage. I can count on both hands all the anti-gun states in the country, and they all go Democrat anyway. If the Republicans would push this issue--I'll say it, if they would demagogue this issue, they would have a lasting majority in the nation. Instead, they act like kneejerk authoritarians and always hedge their support for the Second Amendment. I get the feeling from a lot of Bush administration alumni that supporting civil liberties doesn't sit well with them, even when the civil liberty at issue is supported by 70% of the American people and well over 90% of Republicans. BTW, this was a huge issue in the O'Donnell vs. Castle primary. It wasn't the Tea Party that won the primary for O'Donnell; it was the NRA endorsement. This from an organization which is usually cautious to a fault. Yes, Castle was that bad.

97 "Well  I always thought I heard it that the gun show loophole was how at gunshows you can buy guns without any background checks, so that was the boogeyman."

Yeah, that's what some say.  For the record, every gun I buy at gun shows included a background check.

This is a fictitious claim, though you're right that many make it.

98 Gun shows still require proof of sale and a background check, do they not?

Private sales with cash and a handshake are routinely conducted at gun shows.  The best way in my experience to sell a gun and get a good price is to take it with you to a gun show.  You might have it sold before you are out of the parking lot.

99 70 I'd say this will cost Zero my state but I think since the Dumb Inbred Rednecks here in Arkansas voted Zero down by 13%, it is probably a lost cause anyway. BTW, some of you morons who denigrate my state, What margin of victory did Zero win by in your enlightened, sophisticated, and educated state? Hummm?   Maddog, didn't your state elect BJ as Governor 3 times and as Prez 2 times? Just askin.

Hmmm. Don't know what to think about this now. Many of my fellow Morons could be quite correct that The Vapid One® was just trying to score points with Brady and shoo him away.

On the other hand, he could be serious. If he is, then it's past time for the SCOTUS to send him a letter outlining his mistaken stance on a consititutional issue they recently decided.

In fact, I'm kinda wondering why no one in the SC has sent him a letter or two about any of his other current actions and their illegality. Not that he'd care...

101 Obama hates guns because they remind him of the time Remy shot Malik Williams from the clocktower at Columbus University.

102

My husband hates guns because he has to fear for his life every time he is pumping gas.

103

Hmmm. Don't know what to think about this now. Many of my fellow Morons could be quite correct that The Vapid One® was just trying to score points with Brady and shoo him away.

Well yeah.  Its one of two things.  He's either lying again, which is definitely plausible.  Oh he's planning to actually pull some bullshit measures to do this without using the proper channels, which is again definitely plausible.

104 This is yet another win-win for Obama. Not hardly. You don't win elections with 20% issues. Even Democrat voters aren't all that enthusiastic for gun control. If it was a win-win, Obama would be shouting it from the rooftops.

105 Posted by: moron that misse the Christina Hendricks thread at May 25, 2011 02:23 PM (Gzv/o) muahahaha. A friend of mine who backed Obama said the only way he would vote R against him was if he tried to subvert the law and restrict guns. Just messaged me on facebook saying "goddamnit" with this link. Republicans need to play this endlessly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and New Hampshire.

106 Turns out the President has plenary power, like a king, whenever he wishes to have it.

Thank you, thank you very much.

107 You know what scares me?

A lame duck Obama.  He would do all he could to make himself a lion among a worshiping hard left.  And he doesn't need congress to do it.  I imagine some amazing environmental standards, declaring all of Texas a national park, banning the sale of any ammunition without a background check.

Who knows what else?  He could use 'kinetic action' on Tel Aviv for all I know (ok, not that).

108 Isn't that what the "gun show loophole" boogeyman actually is?

Exactly, and it is mostly a lie anyway. A gun dealer who operates a booth at a gun show must do all the required paperwork just like as if it was in his shop.

Only an "individual" can do a sale without the checks and paperwork at a gun show.

The gun grabbers will tell any lie possible to grab guns. And "gun control" is on my list of major don'ts for any politician.

109 I remember reading that during the campaign Axelrod started planting untrue stories in the press about how many threats Barry was having on him and how he had to get SS protection earlier than any other candidate.  I remembered that when I saw Herman Cain speaking.  I doubt he (Herman) will use cheap gimmicks like that, because he is above that-and does not need cheap tricks to win.  It was just another tool to make Barry look more important than he was/is.  Barry is dishonest, and I would not put it past him to try to get guns unlawful.  Even the attempt to do it, however, will be the ruin of the Dem party.  Wonder if he will tell them that this time they have him, so not to worry.  Will they believe it again?

119 In Ohio, individuals are still free to sell nonliving personal property to one another without interference from the State. Only FFLs (federal firearms license holders) are required to submit Form 4473s from prospective buyers for background checks. However, I believe a private seller can be held liable for selling a firearm to a "prohibited person."

Contrary to coastal media and gun-grabber belief, most folks are not eager to do business with every Sketchy McSketcherson who wanders by with an "I corazon MS-13" bumper sticker. Most law-abiding folks want to do business with other law-abiding folks, and you'd be surprised as to how many folks are pretty sound judges of character.

I believe in my heart that the shithead in chief want to push as far as he needs to to get a few fringe nutcases to crack - pull a Tim McVeigh or something similar - so he can say, "See!  What did I tell you?  These guys are a danger."

It's always about protecting society whenever they come after freedoms.  They want us to voluntarily give our freedoms up.  And eventually we will.  We did with the whole patriot act (homeland security) bullshit.  We helped them rip the 4th amendment right out of the constitution and most of us think it was a good idea.

123 A bit off-topic: There are many in the gun community who push "take-an-anti-to-the-range" programs in the hopes of converting leftards. Though I concede that at least some conversions happen this way, is it worth the risk of putting firearms in the hands of people who vote to enslave their countrymen?

124 I believe a private seller can be held liable for selling a firearm to a "prohibited person."

Law in MN

However, a person commits a gross misdemeanor if he or she intentionally transfers a handgun or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon to a person he or she knows:

Has been denied a permit to carry a weapon because he or she is not eligible under state law to possess a handgun or assault weapon;

Has been found ineligible to possess a handgun or assault weapon by law enforcement as a result of an application for a transferee permit or state background check; or

Is ineligible to possess a handgun or assault weapon under state law.⁹⁰

A person who recklessly furnishes another person with a firearm in conscious disregard of a known substantial risk that it will be possessed or used in furtherance of a felony crime of violence is criminally liable for a felony.⁹¹

I'm still not sure if Mary is a real or memorex dimwit but in any event let me be perfectly clear on a few points.

My gun isn't going to kill anyone. I, on the other hand, may use it to kill someone who's got no business being in my home.

My gun is not a toy and I would never confuse it with one. I keep the toys in the other nightstand drawer.

Bunk!

I sincerely hope that you are not as much of a dumb blonde as your nic indicates.  'Cause that could make for a very difficult evening should you get the nightstands confused at the wrong time.

@119: "What Executive Order does, Executive Order undoes."

Yeah, keep thinking that.

129 Maddog, didn't your state elect BJ as Governor 3 times and as Prez 2 times? Just askin.

Yes.  The GOP was lame as hell, no state organization at all to speak of. And Prez because of where he was from.  Besides, Clinton was better on the worst day of his life than Zero is on his best. (of course, that ain't saying much). And our current Gov. sucks bad enough to give us a booste next election. We are looking to take over the entire state government next cycle, the TEA party is strong here.

132 The Law & Order SVU episode last week could have been written by the Brady Campaign, so Obama's allies/masters at NBC are clearly already beavering away.  The episode also had a gratuitous swipe at Arizona, natch.

I stopped watching that hippie liberal elite havad bullshit they call Law and Order after watching 1 episode years ago.

Seriously?

It's a joke.  It's making fun of the morons you often find quoted in papers to establish democrat talking points without the 'journalist' being accountable for them.

Read the comment again with this in mind, and it's pretty funny.  four stars awarded.

Even here in my beloved Clownifornia, you can buy/sell certain firearms without going through an FFL/background check. Antique, and Curio & Relic long arms can be sold face to face......which includes fun stuff like Garands and M1 Carbines.

Here in CA, handguns are all required to go through FFLs though.

Better yet, you can freaking build your own modern Evil Black Rifle^© from sheet metal flats for AKs, or from 80% completed castings for AR15s. Those are two of the easiest to build, and hence most popular. Building yourself is cool because it's paperless. As long as you build it yourself (and it's not built in such a way as to violate assault weapons laws etc) it's perfectly legal and you are NOT required to register it or notify the gov't in most states. Even in CA.

It's incredibly stupid of these jackasses to think that firearms can be banned from those that wish to own them.

136 I taught my grandkids gun control.

Breathe and squeeze.

Really, Dustin? That was your take away from my comment? 'Cause I was kinda using it as a set-up for my response. Idiot.

138 Hey OBozo, concealed Kerry here, its' in my pants,  come get it Big ears.

139 9 Will the GOP use this gift handed to them on a silver platter. That is the question. Duh is the answer.

Not with assbags like Guiliani, Christie, and that fucking shit stain Romney running.

140 The good news is Obama has done virtually nothing about this, probably because almost all of his mentors in the Chicago Socialist Mafia didn't care that much - after all, how were the poor going to rise up and slaughter the bourgeoisie if they don't have any guns?

And for those who don't know anything, close political allies like Bill Ayers actually worked (sometimes with Obama) to reduce prison terms and imprisonment at all for violent crimes *explicitly* because they believed the "oppressive state" was locking up the soldiers needed for the revolution.

Yes, Ayers actually put that down in writing, worked with Obama on that project, and the fucking MBM won't talk about it.

I don't think Obama is actually opposed to making the middle class defenseless, I just think it's awfully low on his to-do list.

141 NOT gonna happen. Barry was french kissin Sarah Brady. IF PresidentPrompterbinky did this, he wins (4) fuckin states...that's IT!!!
mASS,NY,IL,CA. end of story....The Dems would shit their pants and talk him out of it.

I'm an idiot for taking your comment at face value, when you were responding earnestly to someone who was being obviously very sarcastic?

OK.  Or maybe you're just unwilling to admit a mistake?  Maybe?

144 I mean hell, I simply mildly noted your attackee was only kidding.  That s/he agrees with your gradeschool level rant.

That's some damn thin skin you've got.   At least cuss or something, if you're going to cry.

145 Whether it's gun control, freedom of speech, or property rights, this president is showing some very dangerous tendencies. Yeah, I know, DUH!  But what I am referring to is his tendency to do things that indicate he and his party aren't afraid of losing power. What do I mean by this? Well, if he uses these executive power grabs, he's essentially saying "the President has this type of power" and that means ANY President, regardless of who, regardless of which party.  Now, that would truly be a worrisome thing to them if, say, a hardcore right-wing conservative took power and could use those same powers against them, wouldn't it? After all, if he can just use his special "under the radar" processes to get what he wants, couldn't someone of a completely different ideology just come in, after Obama's term is up, and, at best (for them) reverse those things?  Or (worse for them) do some equally egregious things (from their standpoint) like eliminating the Departments of Education and Energy, enacting a federal ban on abortions, or the like?  They are not worried about losing power, folks.  That should worry us A LOT.

146 The article is worth reading, I like it very much. I will keep your new articles.
