Obama aide: Gun legislation in 'near future'

[RamboLiberal]

Six months after the shooting in Tucson that killed six people and wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., the Obama administration has yet to move on new gun control legislation.


That could change soon.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said a special task force has been "working through these complex issues, and we expect to have some more specific announcements in the near future."

-----

"The president directed the attorney general to form working groups with key stakeholders to identify common-sense measures that would improve American safety and security while fully respecting Second Amendment rights," Carney said.

1. All six people here...

...who haven't given up on him already are over in the Gungeon, and this will put paid to them.

Might as well just put the DU servers up on Craigslist.

(Repeated post from the Gungeon, because there are lots of people who won't even go in the Gungeon...)

2. Free guns for all to be balanced by tax cuts for the wealthy? n/t

[slackmaster]

3. How about a national concealed-carry permit? NFA registration amnesty period for Iraq war trophies?

With appropriately strict standards for issuance, of course.

4. Boo!

Great timing, right? I really hope this isn't true.

5. Basic sanity test before a purchase is allowed?

Question 1} True or False - The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar.

6. Maybe those groups should focus on reorganization ...

and not more laws. ATFE needs to be moved or disbanded. The parts of DOJ involved need attention too. ATFE/DOJ shows clearly that present laws work if they are not cicrumvented.

7. WTF?

Why something so stupid this close to an election? You all predicting one-term will definitely be right if this happens.

8. Another case of somebody reading WAAAY too much into a statement.

"Working groups will make recommendations" gets turned into "Gun legislation in near future." Except, we've actually had variations on this article what, three or four times?

[KittyWampus]

9. Maybe we can combine voter ID with gun permits?

[Maine_Nurse]

10. Hmm, how about...

ENFORCING THE FREAKING LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE instead of adding more crap that won't get anything done except tripping up law-abiding citizens and eroding their rights further?

[PavePusher]

11. Now you expect government to make sense?

What's wrong with you?







(Joke, in case you missed it....)

12. I, Sarah Heath Palin

Do solemly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So Help me God

Coming soon to a Whitehouse near you

When will we ever learn?

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Hurry.

Run in circles, wave your arms, stock up.

The end is near. We knew it. We told you so.

[RSillsbee]

14. Stocking up is never a bad idea

Gun and ammunition are both durable good w/ a long shelf life. They are also very likely to be a cheap now as they ever will be. Why not stock up? Art least on ammunition

15. Jay Carney doesn't seem to

like it when questions about F&F come up in press conferences.
