Obama Will 'Evaluate' Bill Limiting Online Ammunition Sales, White House Says

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.

  1. The executive branch doesn't have to evaluate the legislative branch. It's not his job.

  2. Here 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.

    Just another feel good law.

    Does anyone really feel any better?

  3. 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.
