Obama’s Department of Justice is working on “more than a dozen” new gun control regulations it plans to begin implementing apart from Congress. Some of the regulations are set to be put in place by November, others simply by the end of the Obama administration. According to The Hill, “the regulations range from new restrictions on high- powered pistols to gun storage requirements” and the issuance of “new rules expanding criteria for people who do not quality for gun ownership.” Part and parcel to this new “criteria” will be an ATF-implemented ban on gun ownership for anyone “convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence.” Gun Owners of America’s Michael Hammond warns that under this rule the person barred from gun ownership “could be [someone] who spanked his kid, or yelled at his wife, or slapped her husband.” The new regulations will also include ATF enlargements on mental health-based gun ownership bans. Hammond summed this up by saying, “The Obama administration is trying very hard to disqualify people from owning a gun on the basis that they are seeing a psychologist.” And the NRA pointed out that because most mentally ill persons pose no threat to society, the new regulations will actually become “snares [for] masses of mostly harmless individuals.” The NRA added: “Not only is this unjust and stigmatizing, it creates disincentives for those who need mental health treatment to seek it, increasing whatever risks are associated with untreated mental illness.” In other words, people who might actually need some minor mental health attention may refuse to pursue it for fear of losing their guns. The ATF is also working on “rules that would require gun dealers to report gun thefts, provide gun storage and safety devices.” In March the NRA warned that then Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch would be “Eric Holder 2.0.” Yet in April, ten Republican Senators sided with Democrats and confirmed Lynch as AG. The Hill reports that those Republicans included Sens. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH)42%, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)49%, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ)40%, and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)54%. Lynch’s DOJ now has the Second Amendment in its sights.

It seems we are ruled by increasing numbers of executive decisions made by people not legally entitled to make them. Congress is becoming irrelevant as a result of being replaced by executive decisions.
You must be mistaken - "we the people" rose up, repudiated Zero's (and his party's) iron-fisted rule and elected a repubeican congress. I'm sure Mitch and cryin' John will fix it. Wait for it. Any day now.
Adding a few good men each election is all we can do. The RINOs are still in charge. Hopefully we can add more in '16. We can't expect Congress to change overnight. I don't know why anyone expected it to.
Yes, it is getting worse all the time. At some point, they are going to push too, too far. When they do, they will be greatly surprised at the reaction they have provoked. I do not know when, how, where it will occur, but in the words of Admiral Yamamoto, they will awaken a sleeping giant!
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I do not know when, how, where it will occur, but in the words of Admiral Yamamoto, they will awaken a sleeping giant! “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
