I just got the below e-mail from two separate fellow Veterans, one an old Navy Shipmate, the other a retired M-Day Army Guard CW3 and retired Tacoma, WA PD homicide detective… Obama and his socialist minions are certainly at it already it seems…

Deputy Attorney General Designate David Ogden is circulating a draft of an executive order in which, among other things, firearms possession would be severely limited to people over 60.
An assistant to Ogden told us, "It appears that in these changing times, it is no longer necessary to allow the elderly to be armed. With all of their physical ailments and increasing senility, to leave them in control of a deadly weapon would be ludicrous."
While the Executive Order may sound too powerful, experts in Constitutional law state that it is not actually un-Constitutional.
"It's a question of wording." states Columbia Law Professor, Dr. John Braxton. "The Constitution forbids the Congress, that is, the legislative branch, from passing any laws infringing on gun ownership. The executive branch is not included in this proviso. As long as the Congress doesn't get involved, it's technically a non-issue."
The Justice Department was tossing the idea of a gun ban for seniors during the Carter and Clinton Administration, but public opinion stopped these initiatives. Now, the Obama White House believes differently.
An unnamed aide close to Ogden agreed to talk on the condition of anonymity.
"Clinton and Carter didn't have as much of a mandate as President Obama. They were both Southerners, and the Second Amendment was sacrosanct to their constituents. However, President Obama comes from a new sort of politics, where divisive issues like firearms do not apply to him."
"Quite frankly, it's a shame that no one has had the good conscience to have done this already. It's a simple process, and the majority of the American people will understand it and follow the law."
The enforcement mechanism for this particular executive order has not been published. It is likely that the confiscation of weapons will be similar to Great Britain's handgun ban, in which citizens willingly gave the weapons to police.
The trouble is John, is that b. HUSSEIN!!!!! no-bama doesn't understand anything but doing an end around the Constitution, in more ways than one. Just Google this subject and you'll get lots of online discussion about it.
I just wonder how many gun owners voted for B.H.O...???... If they did, what a bunch of worthless POUGs..
If a person over 60 doesn't have the mental accutiy to own a firearm, does that mean someone over 60 also doesn't have the mental accuity to hold elected office? Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd etc etc etc

Bingo! This is what happens when people vote for politicians who hate firearms --- unless the weapons are used by Ayers and Black Panther members.
