After much fanfare and threats of draconian executive orders against second-amendment ownership of guns — in the end, President Obama decided to go quietly into the night rather than suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of legions of state governments and 2nd amendment rights organizations.
After court losses on Obamacare and immigration, and increasing calls for impeachment, Obama couldn’t stand another sure loser in the inevitable wave of pro-2nd amendment lawsuits.
Yesterday, the White House issued none of the expected executive orders, only a presidential memorandum asking federal agencies to study “smart gun” technology.
Delegate Bob Marshall, Virginia’s most respected legislator had already planned to go head-to-head with the White House. He planned to urge other Virginia legislators to simply ignore any anti-gun executive orders from the White House.-
“Virginia is under no Constitutional obligation to enforce Barack Obama’s executive efforts at restricting Second Amendment Rights.”
“In 1992, the US Supreme Court ruled that’ ‘Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative process of the States by directly compelling them to enact and enforce a federal regulatory program. (New York vs. United States, 488 U.S. 1041).“
“The Court has ruled that way since 1842.”
Even the National Rifle Association was underwhelmed by the “guidance” issued by the White House. It said that although the new guidance was “ripe for abuse” no immediate lawsuit is likely because there are few actual changes to challenge.
I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day
