JK is absolutely wrong! a Us president has executive power over firearms: restriction of the import of most firearms; classification of semiauto shotguns as comtrolled weapomns, and other inrepretations of firearms regulations, and of course, direction of the resources of the ATF. Additionally, there would be grave problems were an Obama to sign a UN gun ban, as a treaty. If ratified by the Senate, it would be law. While it may be eventually overturned, no doubt there would be an effort to confiscate all the guns before the process was completed.
The “claim” that the 2nd Amendment “protects the right of the State to arm its Militia” is utterly laughable. Does, that now mean then a negative ruling on “Heller” will disarm all the State police? Anyway, the Bill of Rights doesn’t belong to the Supreme Court, it belongs to the people, something a “not so distant” future tyrant would do well to keep in mind. Add up all the LE personnel in the US and you will find it is quite insuficient to disarm the citizenry. So why even try? I can assure the future tyrant, even “hunting rifles” are quite competant at defending freedom.
So what is the preemptive solution to “Obama?” Buy your guns NOW!! Thanks to the current Russian government liquidating hundreds of thousands of arms kept by the “paranoid” Soviet government, having an Obama insurance policy has never been cheaper. And thanks to a little bit of the US Constitution, a prohibiton of “Ex Post Facto” laws, the government can’t just coma and take your guns away. At the very least, they would be required to pay you for them.
Anyway, I vote with my dollars and my gun purchases.
