Ah, yea about those "gun control executive orders"....

"Obama administration officials said they had no specific plans to increase investigations, arrests or prosecutions of gun sellers who do not comply with the law. No task forces have been assembled. No agents or prosecutors have been specifically reassigned to such cases. And no funding has been reallocated to accelerate gun sale investigations in Washington or at the offices of the 93 United States attorneys."


No need for me to add any comment, that paragraph speaks for itself. But boy, some folks got all excited about it.

Oh wait...that's right. Polls actually tell us that more people favor gun rights over gun control. Sorry grabbers.
