Obama Administration Set to Take Executive Action on Gun Control

"Earlier this month, Congress remained deadlocked on the issue, with Republican Senators shooting down a proposal from Senate Democrats to stop suspected terrorists on no-fly lists from buying guns and also a measure to tighten background checks."

This statement is utterly false. The only Senate Democrats action that remotely resembles that claim was SA 2910, which was written solely to overwrite the ObamaCare repeal elements of the parent bill, H.R.3762. Because it was a bogus attempt to kill the ObamaCare repeal with language that was completely unrelated to the U.S. Code addressed by the bill, it was ruled Out of Order.

Senate Democrats have made NO attempt to introduce any such standalone legislation with the claimed effect. (For that matter, SA 2910, the Feinstein scam, doesn't even mention the Terror Watchlist.)

If there is one place in the American government where "checks and balances" have become a farce, it is in the sheer amount of things the executive branch can get away with by EO. I will be very interested to see what, if any, effect they can have on actual gun control with an Executive Order, and just how fast the Judicial Branch strikes this down.

It is far easier for us to vilify guns and maintain the status quo versus recognize and fix what is actually causing all of this violence: the quickly widening cultural polarity between Americans. An actually united populace and culture does not often shoot itself to death. There's too much money to be made by making people pick sides instead of join on a common one, and until that changes, I don't think America will ever solve its violence problem.
