Biden: Obama Will Bypass Congress for Gun Control

by Ben Shapiro 9 Jan 2013 1218post a comment

Vice President Joe Biden, who has been charged by President Obama with running the task force to prevent situations like the Sandy Hook massacre, announced that he wouldn’t be raising legislative solutions at all.

Instead, he said that President Obama might simply declare his preferred gun policy the law of the nation.

Talking to the drooling press, Biden announced, “The president is going to act. There are executive orders, there’s executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet. But we’re compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required.”

Biden stated, “As the president said, if your actions result in only saving one life, they’re worth taking. But I’m convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm’s way if we act responsibly.”

Executive orders have long been a staple of American governance – but not for use in crafting completely new policy. The Constitution merely talks of “executive power” and states that the executive branch shall “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Major actions, up to and including war, have been conducted through executive order – but not without an authorization from Congress, even if that authorization was not an out-and-out declaration of war.

The widest-scope executive order ever issued was obvioulsy FDR’s executive order interning Japanese Americans. The Supreme Court justified FDR’s internment policy under Executive Order 9066 in the infamous Korematsu v. US (1942). Other famous executive orders – like the Eisenhower executive order to desegregate public schools – followed hard on court decisions like Brown v. Board of Education (1955).

This case, however, is most like Executive Order 10340 from Harry Truman, which tried to seize all steel mills in the country. The Supreme Court thought that went too far, and in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952), they ruled that Truman’s executive order exceeded his constitutional mandate, since it created new law rather than enforcing old law.

Aside from executive orders designed to facilitate existing state/federal information sharing regarding gun purchases, it is difficult to imagine President Obama carving out the ability to legislate guns in a broad way. But challenges to executive power haven’t stopped him before.

the dummy is not going to be able to make an amaedment to the constitution by executive order .. ..this is what he would have to do .. if he orders an executive order that is unconstitutional .. he could be impeached and charged with treason.. one case of trampling on one persons constitutional rights .. by one police officer is all its going to take ..that will all be traced back to obama issuing the unconstitutional executive order..oh he can issue anything he wants ..doesnt mean it will stand

Good morning Farwould.....yes I am an early riser. Rubbing the wrong way again, I see. Careful out there, the natives are zeroing their weapons and sharpening their tongues. Krome2ez appears to be in a particularly foul mood today. ohmy.gif

I just heard on the radio this morning that my local school district has 5 unidentified teachers in weapons training and they will have concealed carry in school upon completion. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I would assume psychiatric background checks have been done on said educators. If an armed teacher snaps and takes aim, a whole new can of worms will be opened.......time will tell. Fortunately, I no longer have children or family in the school system.

GO RV, then BV

Everything done in this administration is By passing American's!!

I guess that would depend on which Americans you asked. I'm a registered Republican and did NOT vote for Obama. However, I think the majority of Americans would disagree with your comment. I think most of the blame falls on the inefficiency of our Congress to get anything done. That's why the last congress, and for all intents and purposes the current Congress, has the lowest approval rating by Americans of any Congress in the history of our country. Without an effective Congress, the President's job, and I mean any President, is extremely difficult.

I know I will get negged into next week for saying this, and that's ok, I'm not here to win a popularity contest, but I honestly feel that at this point there is not much that Obama could do that the Obama haters won't label as "tyranny", "dictatorship" or "socialism". I just wonder how much of that is based on a true knowledge and fair, intelligent assessment of the situation as opposed to the simple fact that he is not a WASP. Racism is the biggest divider of this country and the fact that the President is black can only make his job that much more difficult.

He can only do so much with executive orders. Breaking the constitution is not one of them. He`s smarter then that. What we have to watch for are the back door policies that will hinder us to the point many will cave in and give them up. For example This one I am really scared of and is fully within his power to accomplish. If he make`s the Ar type platform or even worse any semi auto platform a CLASS 3 weapon (Its now a class 2) It will open such a can of whoop a$$ on the common gun owner he will most likely give it up. Class 3 weapons owners (and actually there's a lot out there mostly out west) Can own and operate fully automatic weapons on there own property. BUT this comes at a very heavy price. $300 to $500 tax on each gun owned per year. Loss of 4th amendment. (Search and seizure ) The ATF can come in without search warrants at anytime (day or night) and check out your home. How the guns are stored are there any alcohol on premises . Trigger locks? ) reefer (even if prescribed) You can see where this would lead and how they could harass you every night and wear you down to the point where you would say OK I had enough take them. Now when I say semi auto I'm talking not just about AR`s this would include that Favorite .22 squirrel gun your grandad left you. Or that Remington 1100 shot gun you love so dearly or that Deer rifle that you finally got that big one with. These are the things that will cripple us as gun owners. Then we get into the realm of international treaties which can and does supersede constitutional law. That when we need to worry. We are placing to much on this executive order thing and not paying attention to the real threat. They are doing it on purpose to divert our attention away from what we need to be focusing on.

Actually I was in a very good mood.

But certain things can change that instantly.

One of them is to manipulate my words to represent me as something that I am not.

Hey man it was a joke.I am truly sorry and apologize to you.

Apology accepted.

I still don't think it was funny.

But I'm over it.

I agree with you on teachers carrying weapons at school I have seen to many unstable teachers.

I Do not understand why the media or for that matter why the NRA are not speaking about

Florida's resource officer program which has been in effect since the 80's

Maybe because it is a solution. We know the government hates solutions.

The Constitution still says that I have a legal right to own guns. Executive orders do not supersede the Constitution. Mr. President, "You're Fired." Now clean out your desk and catch the first plane back to Chicago. You and your brood can stop living off of taxpayer money. You and your family will be one group taken off of public assistance. Bye, bye, and please don't bother to write. :wave:/>/>

To defend the 2 nd amendment from tyrants like this imposter kenyan president. I am ready "bring It".

I admire your courage R2. But sadly without a plan you will be martyred. And very quickly I might add.

Unless you have a clan or a group that has your back your dead. Get a plan together Talk to like minded friends and relatives. create a plan to fort up and combine your fire power. Only then will they not just kick the door down . It will make them stop and have to consider strategies
