Via Washington Times:

The directives on gun violence President Obama signed Wednesday were meant to seem harmless. A closer look at the president’s first memorandum reveals it to be a sneaky assault on congressional authority in order to fund gun-control propaganda.

Getting this done has been on the White House “to do” list for some time. In his 2013 budget submission, Mr. Obama deleted the prohibition that has been in effect since 1995 on the use of federal funds to advocate or promote gun control.

Mr. Obama is trying to steamroll the Democratic and Republican majorities that kept the ban intact by labeling the advocacy as research. “While year after year, those who oppose even modest gun-safety measures have threatened to defund scientific or medical research into the causes of gun violence, I will direct the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to go ahead and study the best ways to reduce it,” said Mr. Obama.

Under the terms of the memo, CDC may “sponsor” another entity to conduct the research, which is a handy way of funneling taxpayer cash to sympathetic gun-control groups.

He didn't do this quietly. Congress knows what he did. He did it in their faces and they sat back and took it. They are cowards. ALL OF THEM.

This Congress is a RUBBER stamp only in the sense a condom is

As time goes on there will be a huge ton of crap discovered in these EOs and Exectuvie Actions that serve to pave the way for more draconian action down the road. A lot of people are making a mistake by thinking that they are all a bunch of "worthless" PR stunts and that he somehow "chickened out." No one should ever underestimate this crowd, they know what they are doing all of the time, and are willing to move patiently and deliberately.

Just having the AG re-define the categories of people that belong on the "banned" list opens the door to depriving huge swaths of the population of their 2A rights.

Even if the legislation stalls out and falls flat, IMO, no one should feel any sigh of relief, this crowd demonstrates each and every day that they are fully capable of advancing their agenda without any support from Congress.

Age old problem, of court cases, they first need to do it before it becomes actionable.
