Preparing for the next National Emergency: the Gun Crisis?
Posted by Zero 6 years, 2 months ago to Ask the Gulch
A question to Trump supporters:
If he is successful in his bid for emergency powers, are you not worried that a future president would likewise bypass congress, issuing emergency executive orders to confront the "gun crisis?"
Or do you believe Pelosi was making an empty threat?

Not only nonsense, but dangerous nonsense.
Everybody's dying.
He had enough of us to get himself elected.
But, now the demon dems are trying to bring in more voters across the border. And YES of course they will vote.
The particular example of their "gun crisis" is meaningless for the National Emergencies Act because no legislation can authorize anything that is unconstitutional, such as violating the Bill of Rights. Democrats do it all the time but it isn't legal.
Pelosi is a witness hag using scare tactics to try to influence what she has no business influencing. In fact I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out she and her cronies helped manufacture incidents over the years to advance their "gun violence" anti-gun agenda.
The real question comes in the enforcement, however, because without that, Orders are effectively meaningless. What is the standard enforcement measure of the Executive Branch? The military. Good luck getting those guys to go around with weapons drawn confiscating others' weapons. I know too many good men and women in the armed forces and there is no way they would go along with such an order.
FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS.........
I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's going on, but it's not what I'm saying. I'm saying Congress has been spending money building border barriers, which have been effective at reducing illegal crossings. We should keep doing more of the same where we see significant illegal crossings. But President Trump hyped it as a bold new idea, and Democrats go along with the hype but say they're against it.
I believe President Trump's main ability is getting attention. He's effectively turned something that we have been doing for decades successfully into a debate over an imaginary issue.
Give me a break!
Nancy should be made aware that Term Limits is really a national emergency.
