It almost seems benign but it is the principal of circumventing the Congress that is the problem. The people through Congress have no voice and can offer no opinion on a subject that is directly connected to a Civil Right.
These two executives orders; one that will "close a little-known loophole that lets felons and others circumvent background checks by registering guns to corporations" and the other will affect the importation of foreign weapons (do you know how they define foreign weapons?). The first is, as the article says, little known and done by organizations. You know, security companies and the like. How often does a security company go on drive bys?
The second one is hidden by meaning. A M-1 Garand, made by an American company in 1947, is now considered a foreign weapon since it has spent the last 50 years outside the US. People have already gone to prison for "smuggling" Garands, Carbines, and 03 Springfields into the US. These people were not drug dealers or gang bangers. They were collectors, gun shop owners who missed a couple of pieces of paperwork, and small museum owners.
Anyway, owning a gun is a Civil Right and Obama is infringing on that right with his new executive orders. All hail the KING and his evil flying monkeys!
