don't ever let liberals stealing your rights i am not american or permanent resident , which i deeply regret , my dream is to become an american for the two first amendments and the freedom and history of your country, the fights of americans to gain their right ,that why i love texas and dixie in general they know the price of liberty.

EOs are as good as the next president let them fly. The rodeo clown does not understand he is not a king, but a lame duck president. No amount of fake tears and flipping the bird on live TV will change that.

"That changed me, that day," he said, after being introduced by Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son was killed in the shooting. "My hope earnestly has been that it would change the country."

After that tragedy, the Democratic president failed to persuade Congress to toughen U.S. gun laws. He has blamed lawmakers for being in the thrall of the powerful National Rifle Association gun lobby group.

He said Americans need to be "just as passionate" as the NRA in changing gun laws, but acknowledged it won't happen during his final year in office.

Obama laid out executive action he is taking to require more gun sellers to get licenses and more gun buyers to undergo background checks.

Under the changes, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) will issue guidelines intended to narrow exceptions to a system that requires sellers to check with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine whether buyers have criminal records, are charged with crimes or have mental health conditions that would bar them from owning a gun.

Any changes to gun rules in America are fraught with political risk. The U.S. Constitution's 2nd Amendment gives Americans the right to have arms, a right that is fiercely defended.

The stocks of gunmakers Smith & Wesson Holding Corp and Sturm Ruger & Co Inc have climbed since the announcement. On Tuesday morning, Smith & Wesson jumped was up 10 percent to $25.58 a share and Sturm Ruger was up more than 6 percent at $65.46.

Legal challenges to the changes are expected and Republican presidential candidates have promised to reverse his order if they win the White House. But Obama, entering his eighth and last year in office, has said his measures are within his authority and consistent with the Constitution.

Obama, wiping tears, makes new push to tighten gun rules

WASHINGTON, Jan 5 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Tuesday described new steps his administration will take to tighten gun rules and urged Americans to vote for candidates who do more to prevent gun violence, wiping back tears as he remembered children who died in a mass shooting.

As Obama delivered a powerful address in the White House, surrounded by family members of people killed in shootings, his voice rose to a yell as he said the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms needed to be balanced by the right to worship, gather peacefully and live their lives.

Obama has often said his toughest time in office was grappling with the December 2012 massacre of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.

"Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad," Obama said, tears rolling down his cheek. ...

America IS the people. Do the people want to keep the people safe? Yes? Then how do they do it. By buying and using guns on everyone who attacks them, right?

I do not understand why America does not control guns trading after all of these shooting accidents and crimes that happened last year. Do not thay want to keep their citizens safe ?

Now we need more ammo sales. In addition, we need common sense training among the people. We also need to realize that with increased arms there is the greater potential for mistakes and accidents.

Two other things we greatly need are:

1. When government comes after guns, they come as an armed group against individual gun owners. Gun owners need to unite in local groups to protect each other. This need isn't something that has to be practiced on a "living" basis. That is, we don't have to move in together. But we have to be ready to support and protect each other like the "militia" people protected the Bundy ranchers. Perhaps we need to form groups that are ready to go to the aid of fellow members on a moment's notice... with a phone or radio call.

2. The second thing that we need is the knowledge between legal and lawful. We have the right to anything that we want, as long as we harm no one, nor damage his property. If we harm no one, the Preamble to the Constitution says that government was formed to be a benefit. If they take our guns when we have harmed no one, they are taking our property. Stealing our property is not benefit for us. Therefore, it is something that they cannot do. Any government agent that takes our property is acting outside his authority. He is a common crook, or part of the gang of common crooks that he is working with, often known as the police, or SWAT, but known as government in general.

Yeah well, the more they talk about controls on gun sales, the more gun sales balloon. It´s actually Market 101, which is either totally beyond the comprehension of these people or they´ve been encouraging this sales boom by intent. Either way, it has been very successful.

The continues 'attacks' by the Democrats on the second amendment seems to have made a turnover in terms of what they wanted to really do. 

This Is A Very Troubling Chart

The chart below, showing the total number of monthly FBI firearm background checks - a direct proxy for gun purchases in the U.S., needs no commentary.



Here is the same data, on a monthly basis to avoid the seasonal noise. No matter how one looks at it though, the 3.3 million background checks in December was a record high.



Neither of these are the "troubling chart" referenced in the title. This one shown below is, and it comes courtesy of the NYT:



The chart shows that while the soaring gun sales are the effect, the cause is simple: president Obama.

The same president who tomorrow at 11:40am will finally reveal just what, after many delays, his executive action(s) on gun control will be.

The concern is that with one more year under Obama's term, gun sales over the next 12 months are certain to surge to new all time highs as Obama's crusade to crush the second amendment slowly picks up steam in order to cement his "anti-gun" legacy, and as the population rushes to buy as many as it can before Obama makes such purchases illegal.

It's not all bad news though: gun makers could not have asked for a better president, as the following headline just confirmed:

SMITH & WESSON SEES 3Q ADJ. EPS 39C-41C, SAW 27C-29C
As of this moment Smith and Wesson is trading at an all time high.
