What I find is hilarious is that if the "other party" does an executive order its some crazy violation. If your guy does it, you don't care. I mean Obama is still way behind GWB and Clinton on these orders.
Regardless, this is an interpretation change of a current on the books law. . . I'm pretty sure the administration feels they are covered. . .it certainly isn't a new law.
Again, for the low informed voter - Obama has signed more Executive Memoranda than ANY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.
Obama went from issuing "Executive Orders" to issuing "Executive MEMORANDA" so that the media could mislead the low info voters and have them believing the LIE that Obama has not issued more Executive Memoranda/EO's than any president in history!
There are already laws on the books to address that situation. And violent criminals and insane people will continue to obtain weapons the same way they always have. ILLEGALLY! D'oh!
Well, you didn't answer the question, either. Thanks for trying.

Sometimes it pays to learn about things on your own.
This isn't a basketball game, executive orders have been used by every president and the impact of his EO's pale to those of prior administrations, particularly the last president.
You need to look past the numbers to be informed and "learn".
I know it's hard for you to understand, but I was rebutting a poster who stated that Adam Lanza went through background checks.
I am merely stating that he did not.
Continuity is everything in threads like this.
Yet you think that Obama's unilateral actions to undermine the Constitutional rights of all citizens will stop people like Lanza from getting guns or committing crimes. Reality is also important on threads like this.
Did you watch the video where the DHS official was grilled and had no answer to the House Oversight committee's questions? Plus, the Senate turned it down
The Senate rejected [today] … an amendment from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to prevent individuals on the terror watch list from purchasing firearms on a 45 to 54 vote. The amendments were offered to an Obamacare repeal package currently being debated in the Senate and they needed 60 votes to be adop

I am not sure what your point is. I have never denied that Obama's unconstitutional use of EO's were less impactful than prior administrations. I was attempting to educate those who are under the misguided belief that Obama is without fault because he has issued fewer EOs while in office. Not only has Obama issued more EO/Executive Memoranda than any previous administration, the content of said EO/EMs have been FAR beyond the scope of his office and are unconstitutional and his use of such unilateral mechanisms to enact LAW are his way of spitting on the Constitution (IMO).
Obama's 25+ gun-related EOs have done nothing to reduce gun violence (gee, I wonder why) or gun sales, which are at an all-time high.
If Obama wants to reduce gun sales, maybe he should just shut up.
I agree with this^^^. Every time he opens his mouth about guns, sales go up and even people who never thought they would purchase one go and get one before he tries to shut it down.
He doesn't have a problem with the open borders that can't keep people out of the country and limiting US sales will just bring more guns through the open border. It is my understanding that poorer illegals afford the trip by carrying drugs and weapons. Let Obama show some good faith with this and start with deportation procedures immediately of illegal aliens, arrests of employers that are hiring them..........
This is where it needs to start, in ending this: Victims of Illegal Aliens Memorial We'll need our weapons to defend against what Obama is allowing into our country. I cannot believe he has not been tried for treason.
Obama's Executive Order...... Replace the word Gun with speech.
First Amendment.... free speech is allowed but all private conversations and or conversations that are between 2 people is subject to a background check to see if they are allowed to speak with each other. For we never know what you might be discussing and this is serious to have free ideas and the free use of tools to defend and idea or your life.
All legal gun sales and illegal gun sales and the thousands of sales the government doesn't even know about are happening. The issue is not Gun Sales is The people who want to kill, will kill and some people use a gun and some dont In the end its the people that are the problem.
People are going to die in this world, This is why you have a justice system, and when someone comes to take your life you might have a choose. Begging for your life, or defending it with a gun. Obama would have you believe any law he passes will some how make you safer.
