The White House says its “executive action” on guns will bypass Congress, raising serious Constitutional and Second Amendment questions.
Gun control advocates are getting fanatic. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says Obama should shut down the whole federal government until Congress restricts gun rights.
Hillary Clinton wants to hit gun makers with heavy fines and lawsuits whenever someone is killed with a gun, and says she will bypass Congress to do that.
Yet automobiles kill far more people than guns do, but nobody says automakers should pay whenever there is an auto death.
Studies show that mass killers are motivated by finally becoming a somebody, meaning sensational media coverage helps to cause mass murders.
What’s the public say? Firearms sales are at record highs and the stocks of gun makers are up as much as 70% this year.
