I see it happening more in that fashion. They could do that via regulations issued via EPA, OSHA, etc. Liberal gun-grabber agencies all. Once regulated out of existence here, the State Department would then work to prevent importation. For an example, look at how the EPA use of lead regulations eliminated importation of small motorcycles. I could see them following the same pattern. That would be the more likely scenario.

Patty Murray and John Kerry would stop at nothing to add gun control to anything....

News From the Swamp: The Debt 'Super Committee'

Capitol Hill Democrats and Republicans have announced their 12 picks for the so-called Congressional Super Committee that is charged with finding a way to reduce the debt by $1.5 trillion over 10 years. The evenly split bipartisan committee will have until Thanksgiving to agree on a plan, and speculation is rampant about what that plan will look like, or if it will even materialize. Based on the picks, the latter is most likely.

So this speculation that the "super congress" would attempt to legislate gun control (which is entirely outside its mandate—which is to find a way through the budget crisis) is exactly that: speculation, and it is not based on the facts.

It is a fact that boneheads like Kerry would try if they thought they could, but this committee is merely that....a committee. It isn't really a super congress.

Are you kidding? All Obama really wants to achieve is to subvert the Constitution and make it completely irrelevant. His justice department is making “constitutional” judgments and deciding not to enforce laws. His “Administrative Branch”, which I don’t recall reading about in the constitution, is completely out of control. The EPA wants TX shut down power plants. With summers like this one, we need more plants, not fewer. Passing fuel economy standards on semis and garbage trucks? I don’t recall that being openly debated in congress and voted on by my representative. Doesn’t sound constitutional to me. Requiring me to purchase a service (ie healthcare)? The founders never intended our government to have that kind of power. The longer this group is in DC, the more they will diminish the power of the Constitution, and the deeper into tyranny we will all be.
