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

    LMAO. First the leftists declassify all the good stuff such as was used to make the Oklahoma City Bomb. then the Chief Executives give away the technology and now they want to close the barn door after the meat has been barbecued?

    It's called shifting the blame.

    I wonder if they propose banning how-to videos/discussion, knowing that won't fly, with the real goal of banning sharing plans for printable or otherwise "desktop manufacturable" gun parts. That *shouldn't* fly, but they'll say, "at least we backed down on the ban on how-to discussions."

    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

      No need to run up an electric bill. If you want brain disruption there are already public schools.

        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

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

      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..

        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 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.

    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.

      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.

    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?

      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.

        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.

          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...

            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.

        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.

        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.

    What's next? If this isn't government out of control, then what is? Or could it just be a undercover tactic to try to bring Colt out of bankruptcy?

    I sure hope it ain't law yet: In any event I'm taking my new Springfield .308 M-14 over to my sons in Eastern Washington to zero in the scope tomorrow. It is still almost free range over there and I'm not talking about chickens. My wife also needs to zero in the laser on her new Sig P238 Rainbow. I got her this for backup when her Sig P226 Navy just isn't appropriate, for instance when we go to a more formal function or go dancing where a lighter load will be a little more appropriate. We're going over for my grandsons HS Graduation party his parents are throwing for him. I got him a beautiful classic Winchester 30-30 Model 94, like he's had a hankerin' for.

    Okay, now I'm grandfathered against the new law should it ever pass. I suggest everyone else do the same.

    How dare his majesty should even think about stifling my right to free speech pertaining to any damn thing.
    As much as Ovomit Breath moves his lying lips, you'd think he would not want to touch free speech with a pole ten trillion miles long.

      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.'

      Oh, there is a difference in legal treatment of His Holy speech, and your (evil domestic terrorist) speech. Its similar to the beliefs of the 17th century church compared to the scientific logic of Galileo.

    Why not use attacking the second amendment for a reason to attack the first?

    It's all part of his attack on the second amendment - remember his promise that he would use any tool he could find to end gun ownership and possession in the USA. Why not kill 2 amendments with one stone - and use "those evil terrorists" as an excuse to the sheeple that giving up your rights for security is right, proper, expected, and demanded of you.

    My thoughts on this violation of our rights??

    I prefer the 45 ACP. Very good defensive round. Relatively effective even using ball ammo. And Glock makes a fine firearm from which to launch said projectiles at those would do damage to or threaten our country or what it stands for.

      There is a flip side to the gun control insanity... It would be my strong opinion that the more the "control" lunatics attack the 2nd Amendment, it actually is rallying broader awareness and support for the NEED of the 2nd Amendment to remain unchanged. ...As witnessed by my commenting on its fundamental importance, 5 years ago I would not have even paid attention, and now I am assessing which ammo is most appropriate to keep on hand. The 2nd was designed to protect ourselves from the evils of government, not our neighbors, and we must defend that right vengefully!

    Imagine if someone chose the task of researching all of the laws already on the books that if enforced would dictate that we never leave the confines of our residences. They in d.c. just won't give up until such as I stated becomes reality.
