Gun control by executive order

The very fact that Vice President Biden says Barak Obama is thinking about some sort of gun control by executive order should bring Americans to the phones in droves and should drive gun sales and permits through the roof.

We have a President who conducts himself like a dictator and a congress who is complicit. The Congress fails by every measure to carry out the enumerated duties it holds and neither the President nor the people demand otherwise. Anyone who looks objectively at the situation can see a power grabbing executive branch and a completely inept legislative branch. These are scary times for anyone who can see through the phony headlines to the central issue. Regardless of your position on gun control, or anything else for that matter, if you believe that a balance of power is a healthy and necessary component of our treasured freedoms, then you should be very concerned that such actions are even contemplated.
