So I guess the blood of the dead black Libyan children who were murdered because of race and religion by the rebels is on your hands since you support executive orders?
More crocodile tears, besides, Libyans aren't Black, but I guess to you they all look alike.

An executive signing his own execution papers.
That would be legal.

You have no problem with a president deciding on his own unilaterally to ban something for the entire nation? You do realize this is a representative republic we live in, right? We have a President, not a King.

When did the President decide to do this? I know Reagan banned carrying guns, but he was governor at the time.

No, I have my personal liberty to be a free individual, capable of defending myself, against all forms of oppression, from anyone or any thing.

More kids are killed each year by doctor malpractice, than kids killed by guns(actually more than all people killed by guns in the USA)

More kids are killed in automotive crashes, than kids killed by guns in the USA (actually more than all people killed by guns in the USA)


I would wonder why my child was not permitted to defend him/her self against such an attack on his/her personal liberty, as the Constitution clearly states.

There use to be a reason, turn and fire at 10 paces was legal and practiced often.
Even a quick draw gun fight at high noon was legal.

Both parties were equally armed.

The keyword being "would". Nobody said Obama has done it yet. The question is whether or not you would support the move.

Blood on my hands?! What an idiotic and insulting statement!! I will not support any "bans" nor will I give up my AR15 voluntary.like. If I had a child in that school I would be in a grief stricken rage. I would volunteer to stand armed watches at the school. The questions I would want answers to have nothing to do with the guns themselves. Rather I would want to know how this kid ne er raised any eyebrows. How do threats like this go totally undetected? With all the fuss over security these days are officials and tbe general citizenry so complacent and confident in tbe governments desire to protect us that we are just flat blind and take zero responsibility for tbe safety oc our communities on ourselves?
If I ha e blood on my hands, because I own a certain type of firearm, tben so do you pard! Be ause you are to afraid to take responsibility and expect someone else to bear the burden for you. Spare us your self righteous indignation and phony outrage. It stinks like a summer outhouse.

By yet you are inferring that he will eventually do it.

You are slamming him for something he hasn't done or suggested he will do. Just some twisted right wing paranoid fantasy.

Yes, my twisted right wing mind thinks he will do it. He's shown us over and over again before that he has no problem with executive orders or mandates.
