"As part of his ministry as a prophet and apostle, Church President Thomas S. Monson presides at the groundbreaking for the Rome Italy Temple."

I'm glad we don't have paid ministers.

Did bcspace just fart again?

Yeah, tyrants abound, like the one who said this:

The Second Amendment right is not unlimited. We do not cast doubt on concealed-weapons prohibitions, laws barring possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, laws barring firearms in sensitive places like schools and government buildings, and laws imposing conditions on commercial sale of arms. (54-55) Also, the sorts of weapons protected are the sorts of small arms that were lawfully possessed at home at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification, not those most useful in military service today, so “M-16 rifles and the like” may be banned.

Bumping up for bcspace, who must have missed this tyrant.

Bc, my guess is you are testing to see how annoyed you can get liberal posters. Ill bite.

OH MY Heck, to think just like uncle Joe!!!!!!!.

An executive action is not an executive order. Most of these proposed actions will have to go through Congress. Hardly tyranny.

Here's what doesn't have to go through Congress.

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.
2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.
3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.
4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.
5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.
6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.
7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).
9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.
10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.
11. Nominate an ATF director.
12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.
13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.
14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.
15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.
20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.
21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.
22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan

Now, I know there is very little chance bcspace will actually engage in these points. He does fly-by farts, we all know that. But just in case he's got a more reasonable twin out there, I ask this:

which of these points that does not require congressional action constitutes tyranny?

[_Droopy]

bc, where did you dig up this old childhood photo of Beastie?

My, she was a cute little rug rat wasn't she?

Unfortunately, given the chance, she'd probably still be waving the same flag today, but you know what John Lennon said about carrying those pictures of Chairman Mao...
