Interested parties contacting members of the "Task force" to inquire about their intents and the timing of planned activities resulted in this reply from one, paraphrased, with a sprinkling of direct quotations: Session is 6 months away, what is the rush? "Most legislators (and everyone else) are traveling and getting caught up on our real jobs since we are out of Session... most of these things don't start until the fall." John F. Kennedy speaking on "Time" related this quip:

If one has a problem with the current NRA, they should make sure their level of support is such that they are a voting member, and get together with other voting members of like concern, put forward candidates for Directorships and see to it that they get elected. Like anything else, the individual will get out of it what they put into it. I have disagreements with some of their positions and practices, but try and make a difference from the INSIDE. It is OUR organization, and on the National scene, it is the preeminent voice of America's gun owners. Like Warbird, I support different Pro-gun groups, both on a State and Federal level, but it is a fact that none has the status of the NRA. Every gun grabbing group, from those "Progressives" in Congress, the Brady Bunch, Mayors Against Illegal Guns to the local bleeding-hearts All cuss the NRA.

Have to wonder about a dog named "Cocaine"? Looks like the dead guy was not the dog's owner, evidently he did not have the best of neighbors either.

Can't stand the Rings movies, they are so far outside the books that it is painful to watch, for me anyway. The same kind of changing of the original gist as say a Clancy movie that switches up the antagonist from Muslims to Irish to be "politically correct".

When you pay attention to the formation of "Rural councils" under the UN's Agenda 21, this article takes on even more significance.

Federal Government will simply withhold funds, there will be no fisticuffs.

The ATF should know, they have illegal down pretty well!

It could be PapaB, that you are wise beyond your years.

The sale of guns from person to person without passing through a FFL is one of the things they are most adamant about getting set up.

This might just be the breach that opens up the dam. Holder can be compelled to give testimony, and with the scrutiny that has been focused and the facts put forth, his time in the witness chair could be very uncomfortable.

Barack Obama on Gun Control A view of the current President's actions in his tenure as an Illinois Senator. Does not seem that he was any more inclined to support Natural rights to self protection back then, as he is now. Obama Nation, by Jerome Corsi, p.241-242 Aug 1, 2008:

One opinion as to what may be coming in the next few days. Obama’s Gun Control Program Revealed | The Truth About Guns

No I do not, my point all along is that regardless of what laws are in place, if the enforcers do not abide by whatever the criteria is, nothing is accomplished. Plenty of laws already there, but, if the Sheriff's Dept. got calls about him making death threats, they should have acted in some other capacity than to tell his intended victims that it was all cool. I am against the Federal Gov. being involved at all, I think it should be a State making those decisions.

Where did you get it?

Have we forgotten this attempt to illegally limit Rights by this same Administration? » Obama Administration Shuts Down Oldest Gun Show in Central Texas Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Spot on. The point should be, there are laws already on the books, and had they been adhered to, then Loughner should not have been running around shooting up the place. Writing more laws will not stop the next crazy person from doing the same thing, if the ones we have now are not going to be enforced, these new laws will only limit liberty for the people who intend to obey them. Existing laws are too often unenforced, case in point, the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and the Mary Winkler situation. She shot her husband, was convicted of a felony in so doing, but was not brought up on the additional weapons charge. If one seeks to make a pubic statement that MIGHT affect the next occurrence, plaster the prosecution of the DA's and Sheriffs who do not follow the law as written across the media. We do not need new laws, we need new people to enforce the ones we have. Just look at what the State of TN Congress (and Governor) did to the 1st Amendment this session, and I do not think they set out to stomp on our Rights with the Internet Posting Bill and the Bumper Sticker Bill, but what are the results? Their actions were taken to make themselves look good in the eyes of certain voters. Two full houses of Legislators collectively still managed to institute unconstitutional edicts that limit freedom. The topic of the thread is additional laws being created by executive fiat to make another politician look good to a certain group of voters, our ability to keep and bear arms the ante for the gamble. What can be accomplished by a single dedicated anti-gun President with no oversight by Congress with an election coming up?

To that I agree a certain extent. But, if one of my grandbabies had been shot by that dirt bag, after the amount of info collected by Dupnik's department, I would want my pound of flesh. He was not some robber out to score for some drugs, he was certifiable nuts, and was known to the the authorities as such.

Allen West | Eric Holder | Operation Fast and Furious | The Daily Caller We need more Representatives and Seantors to make the same demand!

He has done nothing so far, because he does not have the votes in the Congress to do anything. So he will use his Executive Order power to satisfy the Liberal base he has alienated to a large degree. If his actions are too far reaching, there is always the Supreme Court to possibly correct them, but how long will that take? Just like we see with the Health Care, till SCOTUS "gets around to it" the illegal orders will be law, and even if eventually they are set aside, he gets his brownie points for trying, and as you say, getting elected is what he is after. I doubt he is laughing about the gun buying frenzy his election caused, it moved a lot of people who otherwise would not have purchased weapons off their duffs and got them busy, now they are part of a growing number of people that might possible be active with regards to gun Rights issues. I know several folks who purchased weapons that otherwise would not have, that puts them in the "concerned" ranks where they were on the sidelines before.

That is kind of what I was obviously doing a bad job of trying to communicate, giving credence and power to groups like the AMA, or the Federal Government, for what should be local issue resolution is ridiculous. The Federal Gov. is charged with NOT infringing on the ability to keep and bear arms. Documented death threats to multiple people in the hands of LE, and a resulting refusal to act on such information smacks of malpractice (or whatever legal term may apply). He (Loughner) made actual, multiple death threats, that is outside the pale of "think" and moves into "plans". As far as I am concerned Dupnik should be prosecuted as and accessory, as he had knowledge of the instability of the suspect and did nothing to cure the problem. It is patently obvious he was aware of the situation. My entire premise here is that there is no need to get the Feds more involved, especially if Obama's view of firearms ownership is to be used as a benchmark: From the Oct. 21, 2004 Illinois Senate Debate: His positions stated in the IL State Legislative National Political Awareness Test Jul 2, 1998: From the 2008 Democratic debate in Las Vegas Jan 15, 2008: From Promise to Power, by David Mendell, p.250-251 Aug 14, 2007: I am just concerned what might be in the offing of letting the Office or President via Executive Order as has been postulated, especially with this man in charge, with no Congressional oversight, decide what is "common sense". As the issue they are using is the Giffords shooting, I contend that the situation is one that should be dealt with on a local level, and not be used to place further restrictions on the Right to keep and bear arms, when the 2nd Amendment precludes the Federal Government from doing so.
