White House Prepares to Use Executive Action Against Guns
posted on January 7, 2013 by Tad Cronn
It took a while for the cracker jack journalists in the mainstream media to figure it out, but the Washington Post finally ran a story about how President Obama is considering a “comprehensive approach” to gun control, rather than just reinstating the former federal assault rifle law.
Of course, they buried the lede, as journalists used to say, which is contained about seven paragraphs down, after the jump (emphasis mine):
“In addition to potential legislative proposals, Biden’s group has expanded its focus to include measures that would not need congressional approval and could be quickly implemented by executive action, according to interest-group leaders who have discussed options with Biden and key Cabinet secretaries. Possibilities include changes to federal mental-health programs and modernization of gun-tracking efforts by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.”
Given Obama’s love of executive orders, it isn’t really a surprise that he would want to be able to track citizens’ guns or declare people insane with a stroke of the pen. Remember, this is the administration that as one of its first acts issued a report labeling military veterans, conservatives and tea party groups as potential terrorists.
