Obama Administration to Bypass Congress in Attempt to Make Buying Guns Harder In the wake of the recent mass shootings, the White House is taking full advantage of these tragedies in an attempt to enact stricter gun control laws. In a session with the press, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney indicated that the Obama administration would use their power to push for gun control. He accused Congress members of failing to enact stronger gun control laws and told the press that the Obama administration would likely take action without congressional approval. White House Threat to Congress… DOJ will make it harder to buy a gun until Congress passes gun laws Carney said there’s a “reluctance” by Congress to pass stronger bans and then told the press that President Obama “does support renewing the assault weapons ban.” Carney went on to say that Eric Holder’s Department of Justice, you know the guy who said he wanted to brainwash the public into hating guns, would use their power to make it more difficult for Americans to purchase guns. Carney told reporters that the Justice Department will “enhance security by making it harder for those who should not have these weapons to obtain them” by calling for more background checks. In my opinion, this has nothing to do with “enhancing security.” If they wanted to enhance security, why don’t they talk about the hundreds of people who have been killed on the streets of Chicago this year because of gang violence? Where’s the media outrage over that? How are enhanced background checks going to solve that problem? In my opinion this is just another attempt to push their anti-gun agenda. In fact, the current system already blocks criminals from purchasing guns. The current system requires that firearm dealers perform an automated F.B.I. background check on anyone who is trying to purchase a rifle, shotgun or handgun. It prohibits them from selling to anyone who is: •A Convicted felon •Under indictment for a felony charge •A fugitives from justice •A drug user •Deemed to be mentally incompetent •An illegal alien •A Legal alien admitted under a non-immigrant visa •Dishonorably discharged from the military •A person who has renounced their American citizenship •A person who has a domestic violence restraining order •A person who has been convicted of domestic violence So who exactly are they planning on adding to this list? It seems to me the current regulations have it pretty well covered! We will likely see a major crack down on the 2nd Amendment Calls for gun control have taken over the media airwaves. Over the last couple of weeks, anti-gun activists, politicians and even some so called “conservatives” have taken to the airwaves in order to push for stricter gun control measures. Bill Kristol, the neoconservative founder and editor of the The Weekly Standard and a regular commentator on the Fox News Channel, told Fox News: I don’t think they have a right to semiautomatic, quasi–machine guns that can shoot hundred of bullets at a time. And I actually think the Democrats are being foolish as they are being cowardly. I think there is more support for some moderate forms of gun control.” Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly called on Congress to pass new gun laws requiring the registration of all assault weapons. He then used his show to call for congress to pass more restrictions on buyers and stated that all gun and ammo purchases should be reported to and then tracked by FBI. Last week on Fox News Sunday, Conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated that he thought the Second Amendment left open the possibility of gun-control legislation on certain types of “handheld” weapons. As we pointed out last week, we have two of the most Anti-Gun Candidates in the country running for office; now that we have people who were once thought to be strict defenders of the 2nd Amendment flip-flopping, it looks like it’s only a matter of time before our right to bear arms becomes something entirely different from what our founders intended.

Except that they forget to repeal the Second Amendment, before they passed the GGA '68. Illegal legislation in null and void. This looks like NRA gun grabber, party line crapola. They never have figured out what "shall not be infringed" means. Support GOA and JPFO. The Second Amendment ain't about F'n duck hunting!!!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Do you mean GCA?? Wasn't that about making individuals get a FFL to own certain firearms and to appease US gun manufacturers by stemming the tide of imported foreign military surplus weapons??

(d) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person - (1) is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year (2) is a fugitive from justice; (3) is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)); (4) has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution; (5) who, being an alien - (A) is illegally or unlawfully in the United States; or (B) except as provided in subsection (y)(2), has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(26) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(26))); (6) who (!2) has been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions; (7) who, having been a citizen of the United States, has renounced his citizenship; (8) is subject to a court order that restrains such person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of such person or child of such intimate partner or person, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child, except that this paragraph shall only apply to a court order that - (A) was issued after a hearing of which such person received actual notice, and at which such person had the opportunity to participate; and (B)(i) includes a finding that such person represents a credible threat to the physical safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii) by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against such intimate partner or child that would reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury; or (9) has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. Exceptions as quoted from DEFINITIONS GCA Sec.921 section B (ii) A person shall not be considered to have been convicted of such an offense for purposes of this chapter if the conviction has been expunged or set aside, or is an offense for which the person has been pardoned or has had civil rights restored (if the law of the applicable jurisdiction provides for the loss of civil rights under such an offense) unless the pardon, expungement, or restoration of civil rights expressly provides that the person may not ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms. Many states automatically reinstate gun ownership rights upon completion of sentence, some depend on the crime convicted of, and others have a petition process. Those convicted of a federal offense have no remedy for disability. According to a 21 Sep 2011 "Open Letter to All Federal Firearms Licensees" from ATF, holders of state-issued medical marijuana cards are automatically "prohibited persons" under 18 U.S.C 922(g)(3) and "shipping, transporting, receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition" by a medical marijuana card holder is a violation.[3] Additionally, 18 USC 922(x) generally prohibits persons under 18 years of age from possessing handguns or handgun ammunition with certain exceptions for employment, target practice, education, and a handgun possessed while defending the home of the juvenile or a home in which they are an invited guest.[4] The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 created a national background check system to prevent firearms sales to such "prohibited persons." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Control_Act_of_1968 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_Heston Yeah, the Gun Control Act of '68. It was really the start of taking away certain classes of peoples rights, as well as restricting what ARMS the gov would allow their peons to have. "Guns" aren't mentioned in the 2a, which includes all arms. And NRA Heston asked for GCA '68.

Do you mean GCA??
AS QUOTED FROM Section 922 Section D Bowleg 1-9
Following the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, Heston and actors Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas and James Stewart issued a statement calling for support of President Johnson's Gun Control Act of 1968.
