And now we inevitably see what information Breitbart has either twisted or left out by a quick perusal of other sources. Here's a start:

Obama Bypasses Congress With Gun Control on Felons - Bloomberg

Buy your guns NOW before the socialist commie muslim takes it away!

That cell phone looks like it's from 2002!

(Got to say, if you own or are planning to buy arms maker stock, Obama has been good for it -- how many times have people panic-bought before he "took all the guns away?")

Still pointless. But nice try. Congress wont act so he will just bypass them. Enacting "laws" that affect law abiding citizens way harder then any criminal. Feel good BS.

A local radio station advertises that they just received another shipment of ammo, and are no longer out of bullets.

Nice try for what? I didn't make an argument. Provide some decent facts and you'll get decent discussion. I posted a link that has more on it. Talk about pointless...

I'll leave it to others to parse out actual information on this I guess. Btw, the photo is over 5 years old.

Since most of my collection consists of military weapons that would fall under the C&R moniker that this dumbass is disallowing (including classic American guns of WWI and II I might add, it directly affects me. But I'll be dammed if I can see it having the slightest effect on gang bangers and other assorted criminals. Just more moronic liberal anti-gun policy that, as usual, affects only the decent citizenry rather than criminals. But then of course, the decent citizenry are the easy targets for the gun grabbers.

This BS directly affects me, since my business and hobby is based on obtaining and sporterizing/repairing these weapons up to the Korean war era. Like pj67coll, my collection and passion is these weapons.

Can anyone tell me how many thugs roam the streets, robbing liquor stores, banks, or even schools with milsurp Garands or bolt actions???

Lame. At work today during a break there was some discussion of M1903 and M1 Garand "surplus" rifles. Prices have gone through the roof over the last couple of decades. Gangbangers armed with reimported 1903 Springfields or WWII and earlier vintage 1911's? I think not.

I can understand why gun collectors would complain. The good news is that no one else will care, some may cheer, and he did act within the capabilities provided by the office. I don't see anything "dirtbag" about the EO.

If you're one of the anti-gun liberal twits who pretends to be concerned about "gun violence" without wanting to have to get off your ass and actually DO something about it, you'd be fine with it. If you have a modicum of sense you realize what bogus bull**** it is.

Hopefully next election we might get a prez with the sense to undo what this twit is doing. But I'm not hopeful.
