188 votes, not exactly a scientific poll.

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. :banghead:

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

Can the Prez ban books, or the internet in a stroke of a pen?

Unfortunately, "Immediately" and "SCOTUS" are a contradiction in terms. Terms that are also mutually exclusive.

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.

Legally he cannot. Legally, he shouldn't even be President.
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! :banghead:

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.

:iagree:

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?

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.

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.
