The Associated Press reports:

President Barack Obama’s advisers are finalizing a proposal that would expand background checks on gun sales without congressional approval.

White House adviser Valerie Jarrett says the president has asked his team to complete a proposal and submit it for his review “in short order.” She says the recommendations will include measures to expand background checks.

The Obama administration plans on using  executive action to close “gun show loopholes.” This will be used as an excuse to exercise executive overreach and dictatorial gun control mandates.

The Daily Wire:

“But the gun show loophole does not exist,” writes The Daily Wire’s Aaron Bandler. “The LA Times basically admits that in their report, as they write, ‘Federal law requires gun stores and other regular sellers to get federal licenses and conduct background checks. But the law offers an exemption to hobbyists, collectors and others who sell guns but are not formally considered to be gun dealers.’”

As Bandler points out, Obama’s executive actions undermine Constitutional safeguards and may even be illegal. “Those ‘complicated legal issues’ would be the Constitution, of course. Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution makes it very clear that the role of the president is to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed,’ not to rewrite laws. Not that the law matters to Obama.”

No, Obama (who is a “Constitutional scholar”) doesn’t care about the law; he cares about his agenda. He doesn’t care about the Constitution, or about checks and balances in government.

I saw a list the other day, about how to create a socialist state.  It went like this:

1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people

2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).

6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.

8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

How close are we?
