12/9/20 - Gun Control First for Biden Executive Orders

All it takes is Biden assuming that office - and some negligible period of time elapsing before he is removed for whatever reason they can conjure up - and she's the friggin President.

I don't believe there is any Constitutional definition of how long he must be there - before dying or whatever - to make it "legitimate" that she assumes the office of the President. If past precedent counts for anything - then it could be as little as a month or two. William Henry Harrison was in office less than two months before he died.
She is probably entitled to step up to fill his hollow-skulled vacancy
as soon as the Electoral Collage votes.
Certainly no later than when Congress certifies the vote.

I heard the plan looks like this..Harris has to wait until Sniffy Joe serves 2 years and a day then she can take over and still be eligible to run twice...10 years of Harris ...
Try and imagine the uproar the morning after
Biden turns in a fully senile performance
at the State of the Union.

NFW could they stretch him for another 47 months after an event like that.

Besides, I have yet to hear informed analysis of how she was chosen for VP.

Did Biden say he wanted a woman of color for VP as a brain fart?
Or was that a(n informal) Party platform plank?
Or did they pre-select her, and that announcement was just faux groundwork -
did they pretend to have a Nationwide Search but was always her from the start?

And why her? Why Unimpressive Harris? Did she agree to do what her Betters want? Or...
How many (millions?) of people think that the Donks have blackmail dirt on Chief Justice Roberts.
Did they pick her because they've got dirt on her that give them absolute control over her?

I'm not a Constitutional scholar, but correct me if I am wrong on this.

Only Congress has the power to tax. An excise tax (or stamp) on ammo and magazines would require Congressional approval.

Am I wrong?
You're not wrong, they can't levy a tax via an EO... at least not by the letter of the law. For whatever that isn't worth these days.
 
Are these the same courts who have been ignoring the theft of a Presidential Election?
Not getting into the whole election theft debate. It has nothing to do with the abuse of executive orders.
My prediction is based on how executive orders have been superseded in the past. Sweeping gun bans have typically failed (with the notable exception of the AWB of 1994 but that was a law that was passed and not an executive order), and are even more likely to fail now with a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, not to mention the hundreds of conservative judges Trump appointed during his term. In my humble opinion an executive order such as proposed by Sleepy Joe is more symbolic than anything else, destined to fail but designed to give himself some cover with the anti-2A crowd.
 
Two Opinion articles in The Hill on John Lott’s (More Guns, Less Crime author) new job at DOJ. Part of the Liberal/Progressive demand that all who supported Trump and the GOP be dismissed from government jobs, be terminated from university faculty and be sacked by anyone with the power to exact vengeance and retribution.

After years of the gun control advocates demanding more funding for gun violence research, they’ve decided that the time for research is over - just ban guns now.

Anti-gun

"Trump now seems to be searching for time bombs to put under the doormat for incoming President-elect Joe Biden. One would be to leave Biden with contracts for “research” and programs that mislead Americans and that could actually increase the number of U.S. gun deaths."

Pro-gun

"But no one should try to police the research community’s efforts to better inform this debate. The stakes are too high to pretend like the science is settled or to forget that diverse voices are needed to arrive at the most trustworthy facts."
 

The President can also declare gun violence to be a public health emergency, opening a broad set of powers to accelerate steps to prevent gun violence. There are 4 core areas where a gun sense President can act:

Keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them by strengthening the background check system.
Prioritize solutions to the city gun violence devastating communities every day.
Heal a traumatized country by making schools safe, confronting armed hate and extremism, preventing suicide, and centering and supporting survivors of gun violence.
Launch a major firearm data project and protect the public with modern gun technology.
 
sure, a keeping guns is a form of a mental illness - therefore opens a lot of methods to counteract, at both municipal and federal levels.
aint more better reason than a good classic thoughtcrime. just back in 1950s this very country was lobotomizing people for way less.
 
Martin Armstrong is saying that around the year 2022 it's starting to look like they might not even bother with the pretense of elections any more. So........... if you assume that might true

Kind of alarmist to believe that they will do away with elections. Don’t let the hysteria come over you. We’re gun owners, it’s more important than ever that people like us think level headed and not allow ourselves to be swept up in a wave of emotion. I’m serious

When you're cheating at the level they cheated at during this last election - you've essentially already done away with elections. So what are complaining about - that I'm asserting that they're just going to do away with the time and expense of the formality of an election process - and just make it official?

Level headed means dealing with reality. Not constantly coming up with excuses - which is what you're doing - for your enemies to keep screwing you over.

You're probably not paying attention, but a pretty good amount of what comprised the Republican electorate - is sick to death of what you are doing (making excuses) - and have been sick to death of it for quite some time. That is in fact WHY Trump got elected - because they got sick and tired of GOP excuse makers.

If you were actually serious - you would to actually read what Armstrong has written about this - and WHY he has written it.
 
There are a couple of detents and their associated springs somewhere in my garage. Under the bench maybe, under the shelves maybe, could be on top of the hanging lights for all I know - but I know they're in there somewhere.

Plus the half-dozen in my box of small parts. :)

I know exactly where my detents and springs are. I should do a NES Karma for them. Here's one now- winner has to pick it up of course...

I have learned since Bush in 2000 every election is a fraud to someone, always these extreme things they are going to do that never happen (cause it takes votes,) always some conspiracy they are not going to leave office for some reason (heard this about Bush, Obama and now Donnie T).....America was over when that socialist FDR got elected again and again my grandfather once told me laughing.....meanwhile...since then America has prospered like crazy. Its all a game to get people worked up and keep the two party system thriving...Joey will take office....and leave office when someone new is elected

From the only American president not in a political party in farewell address

"serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. "

Kamala Harris calls to 'honor' Sandy Hook victims with gun reforms
The shooting shocked the nation and spurred strong calls for gun control measures



Vice President-elect Kamala Harris called for gun reforms to honor the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting on Monday, which marked the eighth anniversary of the tragedy that took the lives of more than two dozen people, including 20 first-graders.

Harris marked the occasion in a tweet that was accompanied by pictures of the victims.

"Today marks 8 years since 20 first-graders and 6 educators were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School," she wrote. "To honor the lives lost in this terrible tragedy, it’s past time we implement common-sense gun safety reforms to keep our children safe."


Advocates for gun control measures have often cited the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at the Newtown, Conn., school and other mass shootings. The Sandy Hook shooting left 20 first-graders and six teachers and staff dead.

On Monday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said the victims should be honored with "positive action" and to "redouble efforts against gun violence under a new administration."

"We mark this painful 8th anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook with renewed resolve—to honor the beautiful lives lost with positive action & redouble efforts against gun violence under a new administration," he tweeted.
 
Who’s going to pay attention to any new ‘laws’ that may come down the pipe if Biden completes the steal?

" What both Lott and his critics fail to acknowledge is that Americans increasingly believe that access to a gun is more of a benefit than a risk, a belief which continues to grow whether crime trends go up or go down."
 
Even if both GA Senate seats go the the Democrats, I'm still not too worried. First, Biden and the Democrats have bigger, more popular priorities, everthing from COVID relief to getting back into Paris, TPP, etc. Also, anything they do will get a tougher review in the courts than they would have in past years. Then there's all the new gun owners, many of them Biden voters, who have come on board this year. No one is in a hurry to ruffle those feathers. Gun control is a better platform position than it is a legiclative priority for the Democrates.

denial it must be nice there....they will make a big and bold move on guns if they get the seats, you can guarantee it, at the least it will be a ban on semi autos of some nature and their universal background check nonsense.
 
You're probably not paying attention, but a pretty good amount of what comprised the Republican electorate - is sick to death of what you are doing (making excuses)

I am paying attention. I don’t think that it does the situation any good to incite more alarmist rhetoric like, THE LIBS ARE GUNNA DO A PURGE AND CANCEL ALL ELECTIONS.

That’s rediculous. We can agree that their policies are shit and their virtue signaling is grotesque but that doesn’t make them any more capable of pulling off something that will fundemrentally, and broadly sweeping across the entire nation, uproot hundreds of years of American tradition.

theyll continue trying to steal elections, that’s what they do. I’m not making excuses I’m just saying when you shout a bunch of alarmist rhetoric, you at best rile up like minded people and at worst alienate people who were on the fence.

I want to win people to our side but showing how sensible and practical our solutions are and how they can greatly benefit anyone who participates in a society that espouses those virtues.

You’re allowing your emotions to dictate your words. We need to rise above that otherwise we are slaves to circumstance and biology when we are infinity better than that.
 
Even if they win both seats they need 60 votes to pass any legislation..... honestly good luck getting anything done in Senate

No, they won't any longer. Once they have 51, they will repeal the filibuster (60 votes) and pass everything they want. The senate will then become a house with longer terms (6 years).

why people fail to realize this is crazy....absolutely they will do this and then pass all of their wet dream wishlist items they didn't get the chance to when they had all houses of government the last time. they have already said a million times this is the plan.
 
TLDR but.
Step 1: Cheat and steal the election, create Banana Republic
Step 2: Go after the guns

Someone please wake me from this bad dream.

Lift Up Your Eyes

Posted on December 16, 2020

It is hard to believe, but the British government is now into the fifth year of negotiations with the EU over withdrawing from the union. The Brexit referendum passed in June of 2016 and since then there have been two new Prime Ministers and one national election, all driven by the issue. Of course, there have been lots of promises to get the deal done, but it has been one delay after another. They have just announced another delay in order to keep negotiating a deal that will never come.

To provide some perspective on all of this, consider the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years War. The war was one of the most devastating and complex events in European history. After all sides were exhausted from war, a conference was arranged for the belligerents to hash out their differences. A total of 109 delegations arrived and it took two years. In other words, one of the most complex treaties in history took less time that these Brexit negotiations.

Of course, as Farage points out, this is all a ruse to prevent Brexit from ever happening, at least not in the way the people expected. They will keep dragging it out until they sense the political winds have changed, at which point they have a second referendum in which the vote is rigged and they get the vote they want. Alternatively, they will cook up a deal that is basically a sham. The Brits will be subject to all the same rules, just administered under the name of Brexit.

This should be familiar by now. The Trump administration was basically just a four-year delaying action as the ruling class engineered the election fraud. There was no legislation on any of Trump’s signature issues. He got no wall money and he got no deal on immigration. Of course, nothing happened with the FBI’s seditious plot to overturn the 2016 election. At every turn, both parties conspired to prevent the Trump administration from moving their agenda forward.

From the perspective of the people who actually run things, these tactics are wonderful displays of democracy. Sure, most people think democracy means the will of the people, as expressed at the ballot box, is enacted in legislation, but most people are wrong about this. In reality, democracy is where the people endorse the preferred option of the ruling class. That way, the people in charge don’t have to take responsibility for their actions and face the wrath of the mobs.

This is not just a right-wing complaint. The Pretender Biden is about to be installed and the Left is already grumbling. Instead of filling his administration with trannies, angry unmarried females and other assorted kooks from the valley of the woke, the new administration will be staffed by flunkies and coat holders there to do the bidding of global capital. All of those people who volunteered for the Colored Revolution in 2020 are going to find out they were conned.

This reality will not matter much, as the Republicans will wave the bloody shirt, demanding their voters support the party. The same people who spent five years penning “Never Trump” columns will shamelessly demand that you vote for some block of wood because she is less odious than the Democrat. You see that in Georgia where all of the usual toadies are claiming that the two Republican stiffs running for Senate are all that stand between freedom and communism.

At a certain level, you have to admire the shamelessness. One of those stiffs is an open borders fanatic who promises to turn the state of Georgia into a mix of Sinaloa and Africa by flooding the state with migrants. In other words, the guy who promises the exact opposite of what GOP voters have been demanding is supposed to be the last line of defense against the Democrats. While the GOP is begging for votes, they are literally promising to genocide their own voters.

All of this, of course, is the reality of liberal democracy. There is an old expression that no people have ever erected a statue in honor of a committee. The point being that it is bold men leading their people who are remembered. The corollary to that is no one has ever faced the wrath of the mob by voting present on a committee. A rule or policy that seems to appear ex nihilo from the liberal democratic system may infuriate the public, but they have no target onto whom they can focus their anger.

Think about it. How did we end up with pornography being pumped into the mobile devises of our children? When was this vote taken? Who decided that pornographers were a protected class, but pro-life advocates were not? How did we end up with tranny story time? You can go down the list of indignities imposed upon us and not find a single name you can attach to it. The truth is, the people responsible for it hide in the shadows of liberal democracy, so they never have to answer for it.

There is an old expression about the gold bugs that goes like this. “If your rulers are so corrupt that you need hard money to control them, your rulers are so corrupt that they will find a way around the hard money.” It is a nice corollary to the old expression, “Locks keep honest people honest.” In other words, good people need rules to help them avoid temptation and channel their good intentions. In contrast, bad people not only ignore the rules, they are constantly seeking to undermine them.

The old Joseph de Maistre line about people getting the government they deserve gets thrown around a lot in democracies, as a way to blame the people for the sins of their rulers, but there is another implication. The people can, if they can lift up their eyes and take a look at who is ruling over them, decide that they deserve better than the ruling class they have and take action. Numbers still matter and if enough of the public has had enough of their rulers, they can get new rulers.

Just as the slave must first look his master in the eye as an equal, before he can revolt against his condition, people must first come to terms with the fact that their rulers are rotten to the core. This is the prerequisite to getting new rulers. People need to see that it is not that they have the wrong rules to control their rulers. The problem is they have the wrong rulers. In other words, instead of focusing their wrath on the system, they focus their wrath on the people responsible.
