Discuss...I remember the day it happening seeing the assault rifle in the trunk of the car(picture) and then being told he used it by the medical examiner.

Not bothering to watch, but another "the government was behind it to put gun control laws in place" video?

They certainly aren't wasting any time with those laws.

19 executive orders coming tomorrow.

Watch the last 5 minutes if you don't want to waste your time with the whole thing.

I don't think there are 19 executive orders. I think there is a 19 point plan. Some of it can be accomplished by executive order and some must be done through congress.

In the video he says there was a 2nd and 3rd shooter. But there's no evidence of that. Having a guy in a cop car and chasing a guy in the woods, doesn't make them shooters. So while we didnt find out who they were, this guys doing the exact same thing by saying they are shooters.

WHAT? The government lie or spin the truth? What a concept.....see Benghazi.

As for myself, I remember hearing those initial reports that an assault style weapon was found in his trunk (unused). Now, supposedly it was used in the shooting.

Hmmm after more research it looks like I'm wrong. There are 19 possible (I would bet probable) executive actions.

Including demanding the agencies that are supposed to be providing info for background checks provide it and appointing a director to the ATF. (apparently they don't currently have one)

I'm curious, does anyone know how soon these executive orders take affect? I've seen 30 round magazines on craigslist. If he bans magazines over a certain capacity will it take affect immediately or will there be a grace period? What are you supposed to do with the magazines you currently have?

Just in case anyone needs a reminder, he will surround himself with little kids tomorrow when making the announcement.

How dare you! They are doing this for the children...not because they want to make it easier to take more without fear of rebellion! We arm rebels in other countries to help them get freedom, but take away arms in our own country.

Welcome to America. Where legal gun owners are treated like criminals.

I'm not buying into any theories. Just amazed at how quickly things escalated with gun control.

The website and memorial fund thing was weird though.

The President of the United States has zero authority to unilaterally change policy that affects 2nd Amendment rights. Executive orders deal with the executive branch, which would involve the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, possibly another bureaucracy.

I'm sure the man has every intention of complying with the Constitution and all . . .:cool:

His story is all kinds of mixed up. Probably why he's being harassed.

Typical Obama half assing things.

I have no idea what happened here, but the news isn't always the "end all be all" -

Let me get this straight, when an investigation or audit is done to a business or person, evidence is collected and forms ideas of what is the truth.

If you seek the truth pertaining to corruption of a government (while many governments for thousands of years have been caught) - your investigation is un-american and you are a weird conspiracy nut job.

I counter this claim and tell you this, it takes a greater act of courage and patriotism to step up to a system (any system) that is deceptive and tries to shield your eyes from the truth in an attemp to uncover it. A system so large and so used to 99% of it's population just walking sheep who just want to make 50k in life and don't care what happens to the constitution.

Like the little children just spontaneously on their own wrote letters to the president asking him to make them safe.

More like...
"good morning boys and girls."
"Good morning Miss Smith.
"Did you all hear about the little boys and girls who were hurt by the bad man with the gun at school?"
"Yes Miss Smith."
"Get your pens and paper out and we are going to write a letter to President Obama asking him keep bad men from bringing guns to school."

Not a fan of using kids as political props.

Agree.
