First let’s look at the authority issue, the President is telling the USA that he has the authority to pull a product off the shelf by decree at his whim. Let’s think about that for a minute shall we. First if he can do that to a single type of bullet than he can do it to anything he desires for any reason. Now I thought the President was the chief of the executive branch of the American government and his executive privilege was tied to his running of that branch of government? So this is the place I ask, how does banning a bullet type or anything else help the President in running the executive branch of government? Perplexing really, is he afraid west wingers will show up to work and have a gun fight in the white house? Or is he worried that his cabinet will start carrying AR-15s on the street? The reality is this ban is not in the purview of executive privilege just like immigration is not; he needs to go through Congress to get it voted into law and knows this will not happen so here he is playing his games.
Now why would the President be worried about the general population being able to buy AR-15 ammunition, well that is a bit easier to see as he has tipped his hand recently by trying to get the local police around the country to become part of a national police force, it would appear that he is worried about the American people fighting against him at some point and the AR-15 would be the weapon most like what the military carries. So one can see why he would not want the public to have use of this weapon, except there happens to be this little matter of the 2nd Amendment that should have stopped him from banning anything when it came to weapons and yet again here we are. I must remember that the constitution is nothing more than a speed bump for this President and he will disobey it until someone calls him on it and no one has yet so why worry.
This is where the GOP comes into this equation. If we ever wondered about the effectiveness of the GOP we can stop, they have so screwed up what the American people have put them into power for that they are more like a branch of the Democratic Party than their own separate entity with their own views. We the people wanted Keystone, nope can’t pull it off. We the people wanted immigration dealt with, nope sorry to hard. We the people wanted this lawless President dealt with, nope to busy arguing with people that support the constitution for that. So why should anyone believe when it comes to defending our own families from others and the government which is growing daily more like a socialist dictatorship that anyone will do anything at all, in reality we should not. Expect the GOP to grind to a halt trying to collect favor from the minority party and expect Obama to laugh in the face of the constitution, which can be read as in the face of the American public when we stand opposed to almost everything he has done.
That leaves the American people, with our options dwindling and our trust level at an all time low it is time for us to make a decision, do we want to live under a nanny state that is more like a socialist dictatorship than anything representing freedom or do we want this country to live up to the ideas put down in the constitution? I for one would like to get my freedom back but I too hear Obama laughing at me, which is why I am choosing my 1st amendment right of free speech while I still have it to voice my opinion. Please whatever way you choose to tell Washington you have had enough please do so, call them, email them or protest them whatever it is, use your voice and stand for freedom, it is about time don’t you think?
