Where is the assault weapons and mag capacity ban?
violation of seperation of powers tbh.
He urged congress to pass it.
Also, it makes all of these conspiracy theory, fear our government, oathkeepers look pretty silly.
Only moronic consumers of right wing rabble rousing media thought there was even the slightest chance he would try limiting mag size or an assault weapons ban via executive order.
The guy is a pragmatist.

Tbh, I agree with everything proposed. Glad they realized the a certain type of rifle and its magazine capacity doesn't make someone decide to shoot up a school.
They're still recommending the assault style ban and mag capacity be limited, but through legislation as it is not something that can be achieved through executive order.
House tea baggers, Repugs will block everything, and what they don't block, they will kill at rule-making stage, and defund it all.
NRA bags, and their suckers, raising the bar:

NRA even targets David Gregory for daring just to argue with Wayne LaPierre on TV.
Lol mad about a factual and informative broadcast
lol promoting the fact that Obama was going to take your guns..
The fear-mongering and take-away-your-guns by executive order was just ignorants talking.
Funny thing is you heard it here quite a few days ago...
Yeah that would have really stopped that asshole at the elementary school.
are you mad that he didn't try to step past the cons ution to affect change that could stop that guy? He asked for congress to do some things which is the right and cons utional way to do it. Now I don't think that an assault weapons ban will do a lot (at least in the short or even mid term) due to the current proliferation of guns, but I do think that a universal background check just makes sense.
It is funny, you guys just had a switch flicked or something.
Up until 2 hours ago: OMG OBAMA IS GOING TO TRASH THE CONS UTION TO MAKE HUGE CHANGES WHILE WIPING HIS BUTT WITH THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Since 2 hours ago: HAHA OBAMA DIDN'T OVERSTEP THE CONS UTION TO MAKE REAL CHANGES.
I thought 'Obama has clearly lost his mind'...
also, "declared war on southern conservatives"
I have said since day one the assault weapon ban would not pass.
Actually this is what you said:
I hang out in a huge hunting forum and you guys would be shocked at how many otherwise law abiding citizens are saying that no ing way do they surrender or register their guns or high capacity magazines.Yes there has. Try to keep up.
Did you not read Feinstein's bill?Basically you were way off base with your loony predictions, and now you say you always knew they wouldn't pass a ban?And you know that how? When Biden says they will do by executive order what they can't get done in congress one has to wonder what they are planning.
Lol like I said, gun nuts.
LOL @ the internet stalker.
"I'm getting my ty takes thrown back at me, time to divert the topic"

So all the libs here crying for assault rifle bans and mag capacity limitations knew nothing was going to happen all along?ok sure.
I'm guessing Obama is going to try and use medical information now to deny and take way guns. "It says here you take painkillers for your back problems, these painkillers have some bad side effects which means we can't trust you with a firearm, sorry, no gun for you. "
Have you taken a look at the makeup of this congress, particularly the house? The politics of getting assault style weapon ban and mag capacity limits are nearly impossible. Obama acknowledged as much today. This is why the gun nuts and the rabble rousers were claiming O would try and do this through executive order. Rational people have been aware all along neither would happen.
