Get ready to hear the NRA and their ammosexual zealot members start screaming as early as next week. That is reportedly when President Obama will sign a long-awaited executive order which will greatly expand background checks on gun sales across the country.
According to Politico, the new rules would include requiring more small-scale gun sellers to be licensed and to conduct a background check whenever selling a weapon. Also, there would be much tighter rules for reporting guns that are lost or stolen on their way to a buyer.
CNN says that exact timing of the formal signing is not certain, but gun control advocates told media outlets they are expecting the actions to be announced ahead of Obama’s annual State of the Union address, which will be held on January 12.
Ever since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, President Obama has been urging the Congress to at least pass expanded background check legislation, but neither the House or Senate has taken any action.
Most recently, in the wake of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, Democrats attempted to make certain that those on the terrorist watch list cannot legally buy weapons, but that legislation also failed to pass in the Senate or House.
Imagine the horror from the NRA and their gun-obsessed hordes when the President does sign the executive order. I’m willing to bet they will promise to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court while at the same time attempting to raise money for their organized group of thugs.
And as the President leaves office next year, he can raise the middle finger of his hands and salute gun nuts everywhere in the best way possible.
