TricklessMagic -> RE: If the Extreme Gun Rights people ever told the truth (5/7/2013 8:29:11 AM)
|
Help me out here. Where is the lie told by extreme Pro-2nd Amendment folks. Holder did send a letter to the governor and AG of Kansas letting them know he wasn't happy http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/2/attorney-general-eric-holder-kansas-gov-sam-brownb/
So what's the big deal exactly? States are choosing to exercise their rights and powers. Eric Holder could take the issue before the SCOTUS to have it decided one way or the other if he was really that concerned. The usual suspects are making their gun laws more lenient while others are stiffening them, Colorado was the only unexpected upset in this whole mess. But that happens when Californian refugees move there for two plus decades.
On 3d guns, Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed (visit defcad.org), his 3D printed gun is a joke amongst gunsmiths. His gun wasn't the first by a long shot. It's an AR15 grip with a receiver housing that uses a contained hammer system. It's essentially nothing more than a single shot, single-action, breach loader. I have a pneumatic air pistol that pushes a 55 grain .223 FMJ at eight hundred fps that my buddy has printed off his 3D printer (I don't get mine delivered till June). It does use a metal resevoir tank inside the grip.
When Cody Wilson can produce a pneumatic air pistol that'll push a 55 grain .223 FMJ (or cast) at twelve hundred fps, that can be pumped up by hand, then we'll have something to get excited about. Otherwise I can just go down to my local auto store and make a zip gun with a silencer for less than fifty bucks.

Eric Holder says Feds Will Ignore State Laws and Enforce Gun Grab
Attorney General Eric Holder has written to Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (shown), informing him that the Obama administration considers state attempts to protect the Second Amendment “unconstitutional” and that federal agents will “continue to execute their duties,” regardless of state statutes to the contrary.

Considering some of the lamebrain crap that Holder has done in the past, I decided to check it out.
First of all, no one, not even Fox news has anything on this with the exception of the Extreme gun lobby (more extreme than the NRA.) Secondly, none of these people seem to realize that the gun control bill DIED in the senate and nothing new has been introduced.
Finally, while Bush Sr. and Clinton used executive orders to ban the import of certain weapons, they do not have the power under executive order to do an outright ban of guns.
Well, they could, but according to Huffington post, (pro left, anti-gun) it probably would not stand up to a supreme court decision.
Besides, Obama (as much an idiot as he is) seems to prefer to not make law under Executive order, preferring to do the minimum in that way in order to get something better from congress.
BTW, yes I voted for Obama both times he ran, and yes I called him an idiot, however, having had some indepth experience with the Mormon church, (my second wife converted to the LDS church,) there was no way in hell, even if God and Satan themselves appeared before me and told me to vote for Romney, was I going to vote for a Mormon.
