4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

training for active shooter situations.

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.
15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.

Take a look at these 23 points, one by one: Would *ANY* of them have prevented the Sandy Hook tragedy?

Are these the full orders or summaries of 100 page gobbledygook stuff? On the surface they seem very mild (but very odd) and I expected much worse. Kinda like the title “The Affordable Care Act” sounds great until you find out what’s actually in it, I fugure the meat of the orders is where the bad stuff is hidden.

Toothless until you consider how ambiguous the language is… for instance, what does Dear Leader consider “relevant” data on armed peasants?

That helps prove how screwed the system is. Where Butthole is busy ditating to US it was meant to be the other way around, especially with things like Benghazi and Fast and Furious.

Has everyone/anyone seen the youtube videos showing the actors/parents of the Sandy Hook kids? I never fall for crap like this but everyone should take a look at some of the videos. It will scare the crap out of most people.

As Johnny Freedom pointed out, the danger is in the ambiguity. It’s up to Obumphuk to parse and define his terms. That scares the crap out of me.

RE: #4
Just who is going to be responsible for defining “dangerous people?” Keep in mind that in 2009, the Department of Homeland Security sent out a memo regarding the dangerous “Right Wing Extremists” as defined by them as A) Veterans, B.) Gun Owners C) Pro Life.
The fact that something is permitted to be this nebulous is in my opinion what makes it so dangerous. And by dangerous, I mean, a danger to my constitutional rights and my right to my personal property. That kind of dangerous. See, that’s how I define dangerous.
How do you define dangerous, Obama?

The devil IS in the details. Here is the full text of the orders, if you want to take the time to read through them.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/01/16/us/politics/16white-house-gun-proposals-documents.html
One detail in particular REALLY stands out to me:
“…Directing the Attorney General to work with other agencies to review our laws to make sure they are effective at identifying the dangerous or untrustworthy individuals that should not have access to guns….”

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.
Holder is a dangerous criminal who slipped through the cracks.
11. Nominate an ATF director.
Imagine the worse possible choice and then ratchet it up several notches.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
Go to Hell Doctor, you nosy son of a bitch.
22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
Nuts will stop seeking mental health care if they know it will keep them from buying the guns they saw on television.

@Diann – I didn’t see your comment, but I think mine is an addition to yours. It’s not only “dangerous” individuals. but “untrustworthy” individuals.
Who do you suppose Obumphuk and Witholder consider to be dangerous and untrustworthy??

Six of these have to do with checking people’s background before they make a consumer purchase. Suggest one proposal to check someone’s ID before letting them vote and you’re trying to suppress the vote.
I agree, this is just a foot in door for more gun grabbing. Remember that Obama is the guy who once tried to make it illegal in Illinois to open a gun store within 5 miles of a school, making it geographically impossible to open a gun store anywhere in the state. He’s a slick Marxist.

This is nothing that Obama or his administration came up with because of the murders. The guts of this have been planned for some time just waiting for the right moment. As stated by many comments before mine, it is intentionally vague so as to fit – in ever increasing severity – all who oppose the slide into socialism and communism.
It will end in the “final solution” for any remaining patriot longing for freedom.

@ Shiite from Shinola – Remember not too long ago the issue where pediatricians would isolate kids from their parents and quiz them about guns in the house? They’d then report their “findings” to L.E. and C.P.S. who’d then pay a call on mommy when daddy wasn’t home and threaten to remove the child from an unsafe environment.
That’s what the doctor letter seeks to legitimize.
Do kids have to plead the fifth amendment to the doctor now?
Chieftain
January 16th, 2013
Most of this is window dressing and the rest are things we ought to be doing already, like tracing weapons used in crimes (except in Mexico of course…)
But just who is going to be enforcing any of this??
If I decide to buy a weapon from someone and conduct a private business transaction within my home, just who is going to know if we two private citizens keep our private business to ourselves??
Nothing announced today amounts to a hill of beans when it comes to reducing “gun violence” and these Executive Orders will not survive Obama’s second term.

No BigFurHat, no. We fight evil. We don’t succumb to it’s allure.
We must be better than that or we are no different than them.
As soon I was able to dominate the local bully it opened the door to me being the bully of the block. I chose peace and did not tolerate any bullys within reach.
So, we re-establish freedom by un-doing as much as we can of what he has wrought. Not pile on.
Nothing else is acceptable or you become a enemy of the people too.

Chieftain, Keep an eye on anything about the “Gun Show Loophole” or the latest iteration: universal or national background check.
#6 pushes things in that direction. It’s about private transfers.
That is about making it illegal to buy/sell/transfer ownership (like me giving my grandson a .22 for Christmas) without the Govt being involved. Which can ONLY lead to a database of who has guns and what they are – AKA Gun Registration.
That must be stopped.

number 10. Analyze information on lost and stolen guns. They are going ahead with the “fast and furious” investigation??? No? Well maybe, but only after the Benghazi investigation is finally put to bed. (One crisis at a time will keep the bastards going for a long time.) The pox on them.

I think it is more dangerous to
1) permit someone to occupy the WH who hasn’t undergone a background check,
2) allow voting without ID – it is illegal voters who put dangerous people in the WH,
3)ATF is the middle manager of Fast and Furious that put guns in the hands of Mexican criminals. Will the new ATF director be in charge of putting guns in the hands of American criminals?

Makes you wonder about all the people they allowed to claim disability (after their unemployment benefits ended)for mental health issues. Will they now be prohibited from owning a weapon? Don’t get me wrong, I think alot of these folks were scamming the system…will it come back to haunt them now?

They are trying to disarm the combat veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan if they have PTSD on their records.
My daughter was a medic in Iraq and had to give talks about PTSD and try to help those who suffered from the stress of being shot at and mortared day and night. It is a very high percentage of troops who thought it would be safe to admit a problem and seek help. That kind of stress can wear anybody down. Now this jackass is going to take their guns away.

My take on the whole ball of SHITE is this: if nothing happens the left will claim victory by ‘common sense,’ however the next time somebody does ANYTHING (particularly with something OTHER than an AR) they will wring their hands, point at the political right and blame the Republicans and use THAT to push even more bullshit.

If you’re saying it’s ok to be cruel like them then we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I like to sleep at night and being mean interferes with that for me.
I guess I’m taking what you said as “Meet the new Boss. Same as the old Boss”. What would really be different then? Players in different positions around the same table?
Sorry if you meant differently and I read it wrong.
