56. What needs to end is this bullshit about executive orders

Wed Jan 9, 2013, 07:20 PM

Jan 2013

I know its frustrating with the GOP obstructing things...but we have elections for a reason. If you don't like Congress, change congress. Don't demand the president to trample the bill of rights and the constitution.

The idea that we are going to bypass congress to ban firearms is borderline tyranny. That goes against the very reasons this country even exists today.

You can't do that crap in this country. We are not a dictatorship. We are a nation of laws and there is a process for how laws are created. If the votes are not there, then the law does not pass. I'm sorry but you have to live with that if you want to live in a democratic country. Not everything is going to go your way.
