Kamala- gun control reality check
Vice President Kamala Harris (D- CA)
Maybe a Biden Executive Order on gun control isn’t such a great idea after all. At least the Veep, once a big fan, is having some second thoughts on the matter. A Biden EO on the issue would immediately be tied up in the courts, maybe for years, and certainly would not survive the next conservative President. So much for instant gratification.
AW1 Rod sends.
Harris On Gun Control Via Executive Order: Nevermind
JAZZ SHAW
President Biden had previously given indications that he was serious about passing new gun-grabbing laws and if he couldn’t get Congress to act on the matter, he might just take it into his own hands using the pen and the phone. He was even going to appoint Beto O’Rourke as his “gun control czar.” (Say… whatever happened to that guy? He’s still not part of the administration.) This was a proposal that VP Kamala Harris appeared to heartily endorse…at least until today, anyway. The subject was brought up to Harris again when she showed up on CBS This Morning. This time, the Veep seemed to walk the idea back considerably, favoring a path that would force Congress to do the dirty work for them, leaving Biden to simply sign some new measures into law. (Washington Examiner)
Vice President Kamala Harris suggested the White House might opt against taking executive action on guns, despite mounting outside pressure after two mass shootings in a week.
“We should first expect the U.S. Congress to act,” Harris told CBS This Morning during an interview on Wednesday.
Asked if President Biden would take executive action, Harris said, “I don’t think the president is excluding that, but again, I want to be clear, that if we really want something that is going to be lasting, we need to pass legislation.”
Harris, a former California Democratic senator, said she was “not willing to give up” on efforts to reach the “hearts and minds and the reason” of the evenly split upper chamber’s members.
So what happened? Did Harris get cold feet or did Uncle Joe back down and let her know she needed to walk this idea back? I suppose some advisers might have gotten through to Uncle Joe and let him know that an executive order of that nature might not make it through the challenges that would obviously follow.

Thanks, Rod.

Dems sell guns.
Dems like having guns… they just don’t like anyone else having them.
The same goes with walls!
Harris is simply setting the stage so the blame falls on legislators rather than the Oval Office. As far as the political battlefield, it’s textbook IPB.
This gives me hope that she’s more than just a blowjob and might actually have some brains. I’ll take a smart villain over a dumb one, any day.
Until now, all she’s done is prove that some women look better wearing a mask.
I presume you mean Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB)? Careful or you’ll join SFC D in acronym jail.
I was framed. Call my lawer.
I’m at the point of wishing a motherfucker would.
“…Shall NOT be infringed!” Can’t get any plainer than that.
The 2nd A doesn’t necessarily GIVE the citizen the right to BEAR ARMS. It was designed to keep the grubermint from FORBIDDING you to BEAR ARMS. Again, it is not about control of the gunz, it is about control of “We, The People”!
Skrunt! Wish she would stick to doing what she is reputed to do so well. Ask Willie Brown what that particular skilz set is.
And anyone with a (D) next to their name will push that limit at every level of the judiciary until they “get it right” in their eyes.
Beware. They wouldn’t be changing their minds about this without a Plan B. And Plan B began today, when the Senile Socialist Sundowner nominated Joe Manchin’s wife for a federal commission job. So, what does quid pro Joe expect in return? The end of the filibuster, of course, and the unchecked reign of DemocRAT Socialists for generations to come.
Just waiting for the other shoe to fall, with regard to Kyrsten Sinema and how she may be bribed/coerced.
If p00p does hit the fan, the Republicans have an ace card to play. That is to not show up for work. For a Senate quorum – it needs 51 Senators present (The Veep doesn’t count). In a 50-50 Senate, that means no business can be conducted. Well, of course Dems might just try to change the rules on quorum.

Acronym jail? Is that a thing, here? I realize there’s a disagreement about whether the B stands for Battlefield or Battlespace, but if I provide a free crayon buffet can we all agree the distinction doesn’t really matter?
Also, SFC D seems like a good dude. Anything beyond the acronym drunk tank seems a bit extreme. Attica! Attica! (Is there an obscure reference jail?)
But I digress, and mean no offense. Can we all just agree that Harris looks better when wearing a mask?
Apologies. This was meant as a reply to AWEd from my previous comment. Not sure why it separated.
No harm no foul, Hate_me. Acronym jail is a fiction created whole cloth by me to assuage my acronym OCD. Hondo is by far the worst offender.
I was joshing SFC D, and then you presented a TOO.
(Target of Opportunity) *grin*
Damn.
I was hoping to lead the first ever virtual jailbreak.
I have a hacksaw blade hidden under my bunk. Shhh…
I shudder to think how you smuggled a hacksaw blade into the joint.
For some, freedom costs a lot more than a buck-o-five.
Ordered it from Amazon. Security sucks in acronym jail.
I’ll just leave this here…
BZ to that Iraq veteran and LEO. And to you too, Berliner, for sharing it with us.
I agree wholeheartedly.
As for kamala having some brains as the reason to walk things back, I don’t know if I would phrase it that way. Granted, she is a lawyer and does know the difference between a policy by pen and a law by legislation. But, I’m more inclined to believe this is all calculated to make her appear more palatable, i.e., reasonable when Ol’ Joe is removed by the 25th for being beyond the ability of reason.
As awful as he is, I pray daily for the continued sufficient appearance of good health of the senile old coot, because the alternative, her, is just too horrifying to contemplate.
Always fear the govt. that fears guns. I can see another run on all the Sturmgewehr 44’s at the gun shows.
As if 7.92kurz was hard enough to find already…
wasn’t…
If the Republic survives these idiots, it will be by God’s grace alone.
The Ides of March are in our recent shadow. It took over a decade, but the betrayal that day (to his credit, Caesar fought like a lion) led to the fall of the greatest republic the world had seen.
Empire replaced it, and brought order to the chaos wrought by sycophants and selfish minds. As an adjunct positive, it also brought Roman engineering, trade, and prosperity to the world on a scale that would not be matched until Temujin led his hordes across the steppe.
Darkness descended upon the world, but republican (note the lower case) beauty remained true because it is built on real principle. It took the most devastating disease the world’s ever known, but the Renaissance brought the republican concept back to the fore and reinforced it with the philosophical cement of classic liberalism. It wasn’t easy, but the autophagic nature of the Jacobist and Marxist aided its survival.
America, for all its glory and noble design, is a political and philosophical infant. Republic is her DNA, and, no matter how much she may protest to be something else, a republic she shall always be.
The Republic will survive these idiots.

I’m ok with legalizing prostitution, and not prosecuting it is a good first step. Unless it’s my daughter, wife, or mother, I couldn’t give a damn who sleeps with whom (consensually, of course).
As for the rest? The best thing to ever happen for Canaan was the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah.
History teaches us that Governments hell-bent on disarming their populaces are always working on an agenda which would get them SHOT!
The Bill of Rights was not written to protect us from each other. The Bill of Rights is to protect us from executive orders and other intrusions by government.
Really. It is just that simple.
Saturday update: Biden will target some imports and 3D printed guns rather than try to executive order everything. Like bump stocks: they will initially target peripheral niche goals.
So, they are only going to nibble/bite around the edges until they get that rayciss filibuster abolished so they can enact broad sweeping gun banning enacted, along with their plans to put all U.S. gun and ammo manufacturers out of business.
So, I am wondering how long until they will have consolidated enough power to send the military around to homes to confiscate firearms. Maybe the commie cuttlefish can give us the 411 on that.
