He wants to make gun violence a matter of public health. Thats why he wants the CDC to do research on the subject. If he can prove gun violence is a detriment to public health in the same way as diseases, he will have one more agrument to make republicans looks stupid and seem like heathen gun loving crazy people. My take on it anyway.
So, you haven't seen the emails from some of the online shops yet?
I don't see any of the stuff he wants congress to pass happening. Well at least I hope not.
You and me both....
Yeah, supposedly some distributors are jacking up prices....

Thats bound to happen when there is an extreme demand. Now that there will HOPEFULLY be a reduction in the panic, when distributors and manufacturers catch up with production there will be a much smaller demand and prices will normalize. Maybe, and this is me being hopeful, prices will fall to below normal levels. I mean everyone that had any incling of ever wanting to own an ar or ak has by now paid out the butt for one. They should all have a full combat load of pmags and 5.56. So, im sincerely crossing my fingers and hoping that on the financial back swing of this nonsense, itll be cash in time.

It's just like gasoline. I don't see people striking because gas is $3.00+ a gallon when they could sell it for .50 cents. It's supply and demand. There is still a possibility that the assault weapons ban can be reinstated. I believe the only time prices are going to go down is when/If this proposal gets shot down.. But I wouldn't be surprised if prices continue to rise
Bowing to political reality, Obama’s proposals included a wave of 23 executive actions that circumvent Congress, where most Republicans and a few Democrats have balked at sweeping new restrictions they say could trample constitutional gun rights. The potent National Rifle Association lobby has also pledged to defeat new gun control measures.
The executive actions include requiring federal agencies to report more information to the federal background check system and directing the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence. But Obama acknowledged that his more ambitious proposals would have to clear Congress.
Biden, in his introductory remarks, said, "I have no illusions about what we're up against." But "the world has changed, and it's demanding action."
Administration officials who previewed Obama's proposals on a conference call with reporters fleshed out some important details (on condition that they not be named)-and left some important questions unanswered:
- They wouldn’t say whether any of the steps the president is recommending would have prevented the massacre at Sandy Hook and other recent mass shootings. One senior official on the call did say, "There’s no question that both the actions that he’s taking and the legislation that he’s proposing will save lives.”
- They did not provide an estimate of how many lives would be saved annually if the president got everything he wanted, saying the social science on gun deaths is not precise enough to do so.
- Obama isn’t sending “specific legislative language” to Congress, the officials said, instead he's following his usual blueprint of laying out principles and then letting lawmakers craft a bill.
- The proposals to limit the manufacture of new assault weapons and ammunition clips with more than 10 bullets would not affect those already on the market.
- How did they settle on 10 bullets (and not seven, or 15)? One official said that number was taken from the 1994 assault weapons ban that Obama hopes to renew and strengthen.
