188 votes, not exactly a scientific poll.

I'd like to think that is the case buddy!Beiruty wrote:Does not matter as long as the Senate is Pro-Gun.

But with the way "The Idiot In Chief" signs Executive Orders (Illegally) anything is possible.

Signing a executive order for ban on guns (limitation on civil liberty), will lead to a case immediately to the Supreme court of USA

Re: time to renew the Assault Weapons ban?
Unfortunately, "Immediately" and "SCOTUS" are a contradiction in terms. Terms that are also mutually exclusive.Beiruty wrote:Signing a executive order for ban on guns (limitation on civil liberty), will lead to a case immediately to the Supreme court of USA

Re: time to renew the Assault Weapons ban?
I'm sure the president and others <cough cough...Pelosi, Feinstein> would love to try if they even remotely thought the could get away with it. The way things seem to be going they might get their chance.Beiruty wrote:Signing a executive order for ban on guns (limitation on civil liberty), will lead to a case immediately to the Supreme court of USA

Legally he cannot. Legally, he shouldn't even be President.Beiruty wrote:Can the Prez ban books, or the internet in a stroke of a pen?
He has no concern for legality. Just look at what he lets his minions get away with. Look at the backdoor routines he has already done!

I'll make you a bet right here and right now.........
If he gets another 4 years I bet we WILL see some sort of weapons ban that we have not had in a long time.

However, SCOTUS is not happy with him either after the snub he gave them in his first State of The Union Address to Joint Congress. I am hoping that will somehow come back to haunt him.

Sister Ginsberg is gonna' hang up her droopy-drawers pretty shortly. The current POTUS will probably not appoint a Charleton Heston disiciple to that position, you think?AEA wrote:Oldgringo wrote: Unfortunately, "Immediately" and "SCOTUS" are a contradiction in terms.

This is also a website dedicated to young, mostly liberal, idealists. I'm not surprised that the vote is nearly split. Even if the sampling were several thousand, it comes from a subset of all voters which isn't all that large.

Re: time to renew the Assault Weapons ban?
I bet they can't even define what they want to ban.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.
