He is planning to commit $4Billion to hire more police officers, where is this money coming from?

 

[Street Rat]

Perhaps it was this?

If so, I'm not seeing anything devastating,or I overlooked it.

Where and when will us law abiding citizens be allowed to see the new laws we are supposed to follow? I am sure the criminals do not care.

I wonder about the HIPPA thing in the light of requiring the psychiatric and psychological communities to report all potentially dangerous (my words) whacos to the authorities. What is next? Background checks to buy a car? Lots of crooks use cars when committing criminal acts. Where to the anti-gunners think crooks get their guns? Just look in the Westchester Journal News for your interactive maps on where to rob and why!

This really sickens me. I just wander if anything will be done to stop this dictator? I honestly don't think anyone will do anything. Except for the NRA. And this guy at work is pissing me off. He keeps saying we don't need guns and that Obama is great. I wanna punch him.

Ask the anti-gun guy if he wants you to get him a "This Home is Proudly Gun Free" yard sign.

 

[Street Rat]

I was hoping for something that would curb all the panic buying or enforce the need for it, I don't think we got that did we, or was that in the "push" for a ban on our rights to own AR's and mags with more than 10 rounds? Basicaly, more waiting around to see what congress comes up with.

What's this one mean?

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

Obama is going to create a loophole around HIPPA with point 2 on the EO list. My wife's a nurse and this is the first thing she focused upon.

Mostly looks like a snow job to make it look like he is doing something. I'll wait for more informed people to analyze it.
