[QUOTE="Dwmckie, post: 2037658, member: 24492"] Here's my thoughts on this, and you guys tell me if I'm getting off track. 1. the Feinstein bill does seem overkill, and the idea that this can be used to trade off with Repubs for something else makes sense, but... remember that Obama has lost a lot of support from the radical left because he hasn't done enough of what they want. What better way to possibly gain some of that support back than by throwing his support behind a hughly radical anti-gun bill? 2. would Repubs like Boehner waffle and compromise our rights for their own things? Darn tootin they will. And consider how the rhino Repubs have been pushing off and isolating the tea-party new congressmen into go-nowhere committees and moving other Repub threats off of important committees. 3. But back to the bill. Yes, it's extreme, and in normal reality, this would go nowhere in Congress. We're not in normal reality, folks. We have a President who has already shown a liking of executive orders much more than past Presidents. So, would it be so far out of reach that Obama may follow Rahm's Rule of never letting a tragedy go to waste, decide that gun violence is a clear and present danger, and sign Feinstein's bill into law as an executive order? Is there any other possible way that this thing could get passed by the normal process as it stands? Does this make sense? Or should I start working on my tin foil hat? [/QUOTE]
