Re-instate ban on so-called "assault weapons" (those semi-auto guns that look dangerous because they're painted black and have plastic parts on them, but are less powerful than hunting rifles)

Re-instate magazine cap limitations

etc
The first part is worded in such a way that doesn't sound so bad at face value but I'm sure the underlying implications will have consequences. Second part is all total fail. What's the "etc" refer to?

Possible additional restrictions/bans that he wants Congress to enact. I had to stop listening since I nearly vomited while driving so I only heard about his desire to re-implement an "AW"B and banning normal-capacity magazines.

^ lol

Saw this on facebook

Tomorrow we are going to see how much the leaders and the people of this country really think about the Constitution. President Obama is going to impose certain gun control measures by executive order.

While I believe firmly--even adamantly in both the First and Second Amendment--the most important provision in the Constitution is Article I Sec. 1 which provides that all legislative power is given to Congress. The President cannot make laws.

The President cannot make good laws. And we should not clamor for good laws by presidents we like. The Presidents should not make bad laws. But, we should not limit our criticism to the merits of the laws he imposes.

We must cry and cry loudly--that the President has no power to make law. This is an act of tyranny. There is no other description.

People who believe in the Constitution should have two standards for judging any law: 1. Is this a proper law as a matter of sound policy? and 2. Is this law made in accordance with the rules of the Constitution. In short, we must have laws that do the right thing in the right way.

Let our loudest cries not be made concerning the bad policy when President Obama makes his announcement. Let us raise our voices and let us take action to protest any imposition of law by the solitary act of one man.

Even George III had no such power.
