White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that
President Barack Obama will "evaluate" new legislation that effectively
bans online sales of gun ammunition, but he wouldn't say whether the
president could support it.
During the daily White House briefing, Earnest told The Huffington
Post that he didn't know if Obama had seen the bill filed Monday by Sen.
Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.). The
measure would significantly curb the ability of people to anonymously
buy unlimited amounts of ammunition via the Internet or other types of
mail orders. It would also require ammunition dealers to report bulk
sales of bullets to law enforcement.

The executive branch doesn't have to evaluate the legislative branch. It's not his job.
ReplyDeleteHere we go with more knee jerk bs. It wouldn't have mattered if this bill was ALREADY law. How many did he fire, less than 200? I'm not sure of the exact amount of ammo he used but it wasn't anything near what he bought.
ReplyDeleteJust another feel good law.
Does anyone really feel any better?
Sure, just like punishing the whole class for what one student does. One person tries to blow up a plane with explosives in his tennis shoes and millions of us have to take off our shoes to get on a flight and for how many years have we had to? Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? We cannot legislate against every possible factor of human behavior.
ReplyDeletetry to find some mil surplus ammo online, that stuff is hard to find now compared to this time last year, and the prices have gone way up
