Is this just another Executive order to be used to trap 'domestic terrorists' or a tempest in a teapot?

    One of his predecessors a Demo, lifted the security classifications on a bunch of manuals. One had the instructions for the Oklahoma City Bomb. They could be purchased for Five to Ten dollars all over the place. Some of them were instructions for explosives and some for home made weapons. And now dumb ass wants to lock the barn door after the cows are already out and the building has burned down?

    Stupid is as stupid does. Should thought of that earlier. It's too f'n late.

    Would the politically powerful give up what they have? I think not maybe the people in this country should be told about Thomas Jefferson statement that if the Fed Govt becomes tyranical the people have the right to replace it by force if necessary.
    I'm sure Thomas Jefferson's has been deleted from the Common Core Curriculum because it is to subversive. This govt would love to lead the nice citizen lambs to the slaugher.

    I call them governmental indoctrination centers. Looking back I can see what a waste of time it was in public schools. I learn more now on YOuTube from regular people who post things than I ever did in high school

    Nothing wrong with a Civil War if it's civil. Figure out where F. Sumpter is running for office and use ballots not bullets. The rest is reserved for the 'if all else fails' scenario.

    I smell political blood and I don't yet believe they are as strong as they like to believe. What were those voting percentages again? this time they might be even better than the last. All it takes is one acceptable name. Sniff Sniff. Definitely a strong odor of exsanguination with s bit of the brown and the yellow..

    I think the age of "guns" as we know them is really over anyway. Blowing a hole in someone's body is kind of a gross way of killing them anyway. Technology should provide much more compact and efficient ways to kill- probably using electrical brain disruption or something like that. Quiet, fast, and for awhile at least, not as illegal and traceable as guns

    there was a plan to provide under a $100 dollar computers to schools etc. in third world countries.i suppose some wifi was somehow going to be included. It turned into the Acer netbook and after three of them i can see why the idea never materialized. Acer now costs closer to $400 and isn't worth four cents.

    I may have just imagined it or saw it in a movie, but didn't we (being the US) or our allies once parachute a bunch of cellphones and/or laptops to some rebellious folks we supported somewhere. Seems like a better idea than bombs...although those do have their place...

    Tienamen Square showed that (spelling?) The population had the beginnings of wifi and laptops. Some few years ago I was in Dailen up on the Yellow Sea a city the size of San Francisco and Oakland combined. Everyone had a cell phone.(tube). Many openly went back and forth to work carrying laptops and netbooks

    The atmosphere was much more open and inquisitive than my first visit although one could still pick out the old time hard liners.

    Spot on.

    Not just as a techie, but as a user and freedom lover, I think the Internet is the best and most important thing to happen for liberty, potential world-wide liberty, since the printing press, and as such the most dangerous thing to liberty-haters/totalitarians everywhere. The current US government, the UN, and every freedom hating pressure group imaginable is going to push to regulate it, control it, and in the long run, use it for there own propaganda (think of it as Common Core on steroids).

    The example here is just another, as Rand would say, "trial balloon"...and although I hate cliches: "a step down that slippery slope"...

    To me, opposing regulation of the Internet is equal in importance to the fight against radical terrorists.

    Something tells me this will be selectively enforced. If they ban sites like tested.com, half the country will learn Tor rather than go without it.

    Come come now. Who has the least right to talk about the military, equal rights, womens rights, morals-values-standards, Vietnam, big government, balanced budgets wit a surplus if not the left. They do it anyway. They cain't hep it they were born with a forgetful tongue in their mouth.

    The excuse will be - what about the Republicans? The answer is. What your left hand did and what your right hand did is no excuse especially since you have two left hands.

    SOS has a new meaning. Same Old Stuff on a shingle.

    Seriously one of their party giants in years past coined the phrase 'ánything said or done that promotes the party is the truth.'

    Ah yes but it upholds the very spirit of the Patriot Act. Aren't you so proud it was ratified in the last three elections?

    Well, I did it and type up a comment. I prognosticated that such an Executive Order will be followed by "Civil War".

    Just got back in from shooting. Oops broke the law again. I must be ancient I remember days before DOS. They think they can take away our rights with a stroke of a pen when in reality there are a lot more gun owners than Obama 's. It looks like things could get messy . I hope for my little girl s sake it doesn't happen.

    This not only violates The 1st Amendment, but it also violates the whole reason for the creation of the Internet. I know that I am getting old, I actually remember life before the Web. The Internet was created for the Free open and unrestricted Exchange of Ideas.

    I guess this means I will have to pull my video showing how to improver the trigger on an SR9c, using OEM parts and a few minor shop tools. I have said for years that left one tended, sooner or later our "lawmakers" will take rights away from everyone.

    Ahh, Burbank... last time I was there, it was for the J.Geils show at the Starlight Amphitheater, July of 1976.

    I've seen a couple of articles about this. What Obama actually wants to do is restrict publications about the specifications of firearms and firearms manufacturing without a permit from the Bureau of Firearms, etc. It's wholly illegal, but I pity the person who has to take this to court to get it overturned.

    I like guns. I just broke the law? Awesome I'm on another watch list. Guns guns guns guns guns. Think I'll go practice this afternoon. Got to get ready. Is this not a violation of free speech?
