Starting with Columbine, I can hardly wait to see the list of mass shootings that Obama’s latest executive order would have prevented. Again, I wonder how many gun control advocates have actually applied for a background check. Too, I wonder how many of those whiny liberals are aware that the Colorado Bureau of Investigation does the required gun purchase background checks instead of the FBI. And the reason for that is the fact that the FBI checks did not look at restraining orders issued by county authorities.
I expect that there will be selective enforcement on the new requirement that even a single gun sale will require a costly federal firearms license. Again, I looked into a federal license several years ago and the requirements and costs are mind-boggling.
What’s the difference between my proposal to tax ammunition to fund mental health services and Obama’s request for $500 million of tax money to do the same thing?
To sum up, Obama’s executive order is nothing more than resume filler that does absolutely nothing.
