Emperor Barack Obama, frustrated with the democratic process and his inability to coerce congressmen on both sides of the aisle, has declared that he will issue by presidential fiat and executive order new requirements and restrictions expanding gun control this coming week.
He has been meeting with co-conspirator attorney general Loretta Lynch and other leftist groups, such as MoveOn.org, in order to determine how best to circumvent the Constitution which tasks Congress with law making, as well as how to explain to the American people why he prefers to override their clearly stated preferences with his personal opinion and choice.
Obama and other leftist organizations and individuals such as billionaire Michael Bloomberg have been pushing for greater gun control and regulation for years, and each time there is a shooting incident they use it to promote their political agenda, regardless of whether the facts actually fit their model. In fact, the various incidents they do cite, such as Sandy Hook elementary school, Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, or the recent shooting by a radicalized Muslim couple in San Bernardino, all have the unfortunate commonality that the guns were obtained legally, with appropriate background checks, and would therefore not have been impacted at all by the restrictions and requirements Obama and company are promoting.
Obama claims that 40% of gun purchases are done at gun shows and online without background checks. Obama has shown himself to be an egregious liar when trying to push a point, because to Obama lying is just part of the process to achieve his “righteous” ends, as we saw with his promotion of Obamacare. This 40% figure is also a huge lie, which may have been true thirty years ago, but is certainly not true today. All gun dealers at gun shows MUST conduct background checks, with minuscule exceptions that some have estimated at about 2%. And anyone trying to buy firearms online will find that they must be delivered to a local gun dealer who will conduct an on-sight background check before the weapons will be handed over.
The biggest exception is with family member to family member sales or giving such as Dad giving junior his first shot gun for Christmas, or a widow giving the gun collection of her deceased husband to his brother. To say that these individuals must obtain a federal gun dealer license to transact that type of exchange is to say that the State is looking to confiscate family weapons because it is too burdensome or expensive for families to follow these new regulations.

Michael Black, what aid and comfort and what enemy?
“Republican governors, lawmakers and presidential candidates are calling for a halt to federal program that resettles Syrian refugees in the U.S.
In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, many in the GOP say they are concerned that a terrorist could slip into the country by posing as an asylum seeker, an argument that President Obama and other Democrats reject.
All refugees taken in by the U.S. undergo extensive background checks. The small number from Syria are subject to additional layers of security screening.
“Of all the categories of persons entering the U.S., these refugees are the single most heavily screened and vetted,” explains Jana Mason, a senior adviser to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Here are answers to some of your questions about how the program works.
How are Syrian refugees referred to the U.S.?
The process begins with a referral from UNHCR. The U.N.’s refugee agency is responsible for registering some 15 million asylum seekers around the world, and providing aid and assistance until they are resettled abroad or (more likely) returned home once conditions ease. The registration process includes in-depth refugee interviews, home country reference checks and biological screening such as iris scans. Military combatants are weeded out.
Among those who pass background checks, a small percentage are referred for overseas resettlement based on criteria designed to determine the most vulnerable cases. This group may include survivors of torture, victims of sexual violence, targets of political persecution, the medically needy, families with multiple children and a female head of household.
What happens once a refugee is referred to the U.S.?
Our government performs its own intensive screening, a process that includes consultation from nine different government agencies. They meet weekly to review a refugee’s case file and, if appropriate, determine where in the U.S. the individual should be placed. When choosing where to place a refugee, officials consider factors such as existing family in the U.S., employment possibilities and special factors like access to needed medical treatment.
How do we know the refugees aren’t terrorists?
Every refugee goes through an intensive vetting process, but the precautions are increased for Syrians. Multiple law enforcement, intelligence and security agencies perform “the most rigorous screening of any traveler to the U.S.,” says a senior administration official. Among the agencies involved are the State Department, the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. A DHS officer conducts in-person interviews with every applicant. Biometric information such as fingerprints are collected and matched against criminal databases. Biographical information such as past visa applications are scrutinized to ensure the applicant’s story coheres.
What percentage of applicants “pass” the screening process?
Just over 50%.
How long does the whole process take?
Eighteen to 24 months on average.
How many have been resettled here?
About 1,800 over the past year. They’ve been placed in dozens of states across the country, but most are in big states with large immigrant populations, such as California, Texas, Illinois and Michigan.
Who are they?
According to a senior administration official, roughly half the refugees admitted have been children. Around 25% are adults over 60. Only 2% of those admitted, the senior administration official said, have been single males of “combat age.”
Has the system been successful so far?
The security checks have a pretty good record. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. has admitted some 750,000 refugees. None have been arrested on domestic terrorism charges, though two—a pair of Iraqis in Kentucky—were charged with terrorist activities connected to aiding al-Qaeda.”
