POTUS is going to spark a rebellion, or worse.

If he does what Joe says here.

Biden: Obama Might Use Executive Order to Deal With Guns | The Weekly Standard

The majority of US citizens will not stand for this. There will be revolt and people will get killed. All for satisfying the hyterical anti gun crowd. This will end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy

Let's just wait and see what it is that is being discussed before going postal on him.

Sky's falling again, huh? Better check on your bunker supplies and buy a few more guns.

That's insulting! My vitriol is never cornball!

Prepare for an astonishing degree of apathy to counterbalance all of the redneck gun-humping hysteria that you foresee.

I know! But they represent a faction most likely to get all panicky and over-reactive about a possible gun control measure that isn't even vaguely defined at this point.

Here they go acting before thinking it through again... But a politician thinking it through really isn't much anyways.

But Joe, what is the nature of the act? Apparently no one, including the Executive branch of the government, knows at this point.

Biden is Biden. He's a wormy little politician.

I have a sneaking suspicion BO pegged him with this because (1) BO wants it to look like he's doing something and (2) he can let Biden look like the loon.

Don't get me wrong, I don't trust BO, but he is very politically shrewd and this gives him an out either way.

IF, this happens, and I would like to at least HOPE that it's an IF, then it would be a GIANT leap toward dictatorship. I SINCERELY hope we don't have to discuss this in past tense!

Yup...and then they can get a look at the Poles and see what damage/good might become of it.

You might be onto it here. It might very well be a trial balloon. Send it up and then hide to watch the reaction.

In most negotiating situations both sides come out with a proposed package which is significantly more than what they expect to achieve.

If a party does come to the table with his best offer to begin with it simply proves they are not experienced in negotiation.
