AG Lynch Explains Obama’s Gun-Control: Gov’t Looking For ‘Individuals Who Seek To Avoid Registering’

“We will be looking for those individuals who seek to avoid registering,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch told reporters following a Jan. 4 meeting with President Obama regarding executive gun control.

Lynch was referencing the portion of Obama’s pending executive-action gun-control measure that will require gun-sellers to register as federally licensed gun dealers if they meet criteria demonstrating they are “engaged in the business of dealing in firearms.”

This language also means that private sellers registered as federally licensed dealers will have to perform a background check on every sale.

One problem is that the White House executive action fact sheet does not present any numerical minimum on the number of sales that a private seller must conduct before he is considered to be “engaged in the business of dealing in firearms.”

Rather, it indicates a private seller can be considered to be “engaged in the business of selling firearms” regardless of the location from which she sells, the frequency with which he sells, or the number of guns ahe sells.

In light of this, CBS News reports that Attorney General Loretta Lynch is making it known that the ATF will be watching and looking for private sellers who “seek to avoid registering” as being “engaged in the business of selling firearms.”

Lynch stressed that an “exception” remains for “the hobbyist and collector,” but the executive order means private sellers cannot continue to “hide behind that [exception].”

Barack Obama To Announce Executive Gun Control On Tuesday

President Barack Obama will reportedly announce executive gun control actions on Tuesday. The gun controls are expected to expand background checks to cover private gun sellers as well to place new reporting requirements on the backs of federally licensed firearms dealers.

According to ABC News, the White House has been open about the fact that the Department of Justice has spent months helping Obama find a way to go around Congress and increase gun control “unilaterally.” And Obama has tried to head off certain opposition to his pending actions by blaming the “gun lobby” for stirring up opposition in the first place.

During his first weekly radio address of 2016 Obama said, “The gun lobby is loud and well organized in its defense of effortlessly available guns for anyone. The rest of us are going to have to be just as passionate and well organized in our defense of our kids.”

But the reality is that expanding background checks to cover another sliver of private sellers and placing new reporting requirements on federally licensed dealers won’t stop high profile shootings or mass public attacks. Background checks are already demonstrably impotent to stop mass attackers, who pass background checks to acquire their guns, then use those guns to carry out evil ends.

For example, Obama referenced the heinous firearm-based attack on Gabby Giffords when explaining his reasons for pursuing executive gun control. What he did not say is that Giffords’ attacker–Jared Loughner–passed a background check to acquire the gun, then used to shoot and wound Giffords.

Burned Out Bush: “Trump Will Never Be President”

Posted by Adam Lankford

Jeb Bush Continues Embarrassing Campaign Courting Graham Supporters

The pathetic campaign of what was supposed to be an inevitable nomination, continues with Jeb Bush to the point where he is now courting supporters of an equally pointless and failed Lindsey Graham

campaign. The former Governor of Florida refuses to let go and face the reality of the political climate where the establishment has been determined to be as equally destructive as Democrats to a free Republic. Appearing at an event in South Carolina at Hudson BBQ, where he was over 45 minutes late, Bush spoke to some 100 supporters about the state of his campaign and his intention to win the state of South Carolina. After taking questions at the town hall style event, Jeb insisted that “Donald Trump will not win the nomination and he will not be President.”

Jeb Bush is finished.

The promise from Jeb to his supporters was met with a smattering of applause similar to what would be heard when a golfer sinks a two foot putt for bogie. The Golf clap is about all Jeb has been able to muster in this ridiculous campaign since being outed by Donald Trump over his “low energy” and open border stance on immigration. What is still incredible, is the enormous amount of money still available to the Bush campaign with over $100 Million at his disposal through his Right To Rise super PAC. The continuous bombardment of ads produced by the PAC, show a Vitamin B12 induced Bush with more energy, but will do little to achieve the desired result of establishment supremacy. If your campaign is to a point where you need to scrape the bottom of the barrel and gain Graham supporters, who didn’t have any to begin with, then there isn’t much hope for you going any further.

The RAW Scoop is this. Jeb Bush is a walking example of how powerful and dedicated the Republican Party is to keeping the current system in power. With newly elected Speaker of The House Paul Crying about to launch another symbolic and intelligence insulting repeal vote on Obamacare while Obama is still in office, these people represent the epitome of all talk and no action. They simply play to the desires of the electorate rather than actually accomplishing a goal or pushing back on a failed Obama agenda. Nothing about moderate Republicans is appealing. Not a single damn thing. If you are a Conservative, at this point, your eyes are most likely stuck in the back of your head listening to the idiots in charge talk about what they are going to do, have done, and have stopped. The reality is, Jeb Bush is a Democrat. Plain and simple. The American people know it, the party knows it, but the powers that be and the people in charge think you are stupid and don’t know any better. If Jeb Bush loses in Iowa and New Hampshire, which he will, there is no reason for him to be in the race. Hell…there is no reason for him to be in the race now. Tell us what you think

Donald Trump has launched anew ad for television CUT OFF THE HEAD OF ISIS.

Islamic State

by CHARLIE SPIERING4 Jan 2016142

Donald Trump has launched anew ad for television highlighting his controversial campaign as he charges into the new year.

“He’s calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until we can figure out what’s going on,” a narrator explains in the 30 second TV spot, titled “Great Again.”

https://youtu.be/AEAJrT8PeOo

“He’ll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And he’ll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for.”

The ad also criticizes Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for failing to address the threat posed by radical Islamic terrorism.

On Sunday, Trump dismissed his need for ads, but argued that he wanted to do them anyway.

“Honestly, I don’t know. I think I’m probably wasting the money,” he said on an interview with CBS’s Face The Nation. “But I’m $35 million under budget. Look, I was going to have 35 or 40 million spent by now. I haven’t spent anything. I almost feel guilty. I think if you want to know the truth, I’m doing the ads. I’m leading by, as you all say, a lot.”
