NRA targets Obama’s kids in a scathing new ad
http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/01/15/a-new-low-nra-targets-obamas-kids-in-scathing-new-ad/
The National Rifle Association is getting personal. In a new web video the gun lobby calls President Obama an “elitist hypocrite” for using the Secret Service to protect his two children, Sasha, age 11, and Malia, age 14.
The ad, posted to the NRA’s Stand and Fight website, criticizes Obama for opposing the NRA’s proposal of increasing the number of armed guards in schools as a way to prevent shootings like the Sandy Hook massacre.
“Are the president’s kids more important than yours?” asks the voiceover on the ad. “Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?” It continues, “Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he’s just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security. Protection for their kids and gun-free zones for ours.”
The video does not show pictures of the president’s daughters, using instead images of outspoken gun control advocates such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden.
The ad served as a preemptive strike against President Obama, who plans to unveil his high anticipated proposals to reduce gun violence on Wednesday. Along with school security, mental health and the entertainment industry, the president is also expected to recommend universal background checks, a ban on high-capacity magazines and some sort of assault weapons ban.
Last week, Obama signed a bill to restore lifetime Secret Service protection for presidents, which includes himself, both Presidents Bush, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and presidents in the future. The law gives children of presidents protection until the age of 16.
George W. Bush signed a directive four days before he left office, authorizing the Secret Service to provide a period of extended protection for his daughters Jenna and Barbara. The law says that the adult children of a president lose their protection when their father leaves office. But Bill Clinton had also authorized extended coverage for his daughter Chelsea when his term ended. The Secret Service asked that the period of additional protection be kept confidential.

Oh hell..... I think that that Carter kid was even used in garbage like this. It ain't right to use kids in garbage like this, but that is not the problem here folks.
Go to the post that I posted with ALL of his plans...
I am not disputing exe orders as a way to get somethings done. But the actualy bans he just spoke about it not a way and I am glad he didn't do it because he would be facing a lot of trouble if he did.
Oh and it is a power given, but it has its limitations also.
Overall when he is leaving up to Congress is the right stuff to leave to congress. I have to hear more on what he did with Exe order because I only heard a little bit of the speech.

"MrsP your assuming that laws are going to go to Congress and Obama is not just going to use Exe. Orders to ram this through. That is not leading that is being a dictator."
He signed the laws that he could use exec orders with today..... There area PLENTY of Presidents that have used exec. orders..Its a power given to ALL of the Presidents of the United States...

Database...So the feds can see that Brice legally owns 40 guns? Hmmm, he must be up to something. Lets arrest him under the Patriot Act. Lets perform illegal search and seizure under the Patriot Act.
A database reminds me of something similar where people where branded with numbers.
When people act with emotions you get on a very slippery slope which often infringe on the rights of people.

" The President and the Vice President have both said that talks with the NRA have been productive, so why not believe that? "
I do believe that...They were productive with everyone except the NRA..They showed opposition from the start..They blamed everything except guns..Hollywood, Video games, mental health AND guns have a part in it...All I'm saying is, this move on gun control is not to make life miserable for us gun owners, its to make sure guns do NOT get in the hands of the wrong people..Whatever steps they need to take, is fine with me.
"None of that is going to stop criminals, maybe with the exception of gun shows not allowing anyone to walk out with a gun in their hands."
It may not stop all criminals but it WILL save lives...
