It is so hard to Laugh about this Congress.
Looking on Ranker web site I was very surprised that President Obama only ranks 19th in the list of all time great American presidents.
[URL]http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-u-s-presidents-from-best-to-worst[/URL]
President Obama has unveiled a plan to address gun violence in the nation. The initiative consists of 23 executive actions and three presidential memoranda, most of which will require congressional approval.
Obama has also tackled many other difficult issues.

These have been exceptionally difficult times during his presidency but he has shown tremendous leadership skills.
I feel in time Mr Obama will go down as one of Americas greatest presidents surely making the top 3 list.
I hope that was sarcasm.

This is the one that made me laugh.

New York City Undercover Investigation: Most Private Sellers Agreed To Sell Firearm To Someone Who Said They Couldn't Pass A Background Check. In an investigation of 10 websites in 14 states that allow unlicensed sellers to list firearms for sale, undercover investigators working for the City of New York found that 77 out of 125 sellers agreed to go forward with a firearm sale after the purchaser said that he could not pass a background check.

See Tres, unlike you (in the Zimmerman thread), I can back up what I post when asked.

There are over twelve MILLION people living in the New York metropolitan area and you are trying to prove a point by citing a single undercover sting operation involving 125 individuals that was reported by a questionable media source. Give us all a break and just go away. BTW if you read the Zimmerman thread carefully, you will find that I never purported to give factual information. All I said, many times over, was that Zimmerman was stupid, and I will stand by that opinion.
It is past your bedtime little boy. You should stop trying to play with grown ups.

Now Esten thanked him, you got to love that. [U]Birds[/U] of a feather and all that I guess. ROFLMAO.
I would say Obama has leadership abilities similar to those of the Pied Piper, he has led millions of Americans down the garden path.

Like Tres, don't expect Doppel to post any real data to back up his claim. Donald Trump was using that line recently too. BTW, Trump is now being sued by the NY AG for fraud.

[QUOTE=Esten;435266]Reid can't bring a new bill to the floor, without overcoming a virtually-gauranteed Republican filibuster. You remember the big flap over this last time. Most Republican senators voted against even allowing a debate and vote. So, any pretense that Republicans were ever serious about reducing gun violence is largely false. No doubt, Reid knows the calculus, and believes that for some Republican senators, a vote on background checks is going to be less politically risky than a vote to bring gun control legislation to the floor a second time. [/quote] Sounds more like a kid who says “I'll just take my ball and go home”, and wait for the next crisis.
[QUOTE=Esten;435266]Certainly, expanded background checks won't put a complete stop to guns getting into the wrong hands. But the data shows it is an effective measure to reduce the occurence. And BTW, opening NICS to individual sellers on a voluntary basis has questionable merit, because the data also shows that most private sellers will agree to sell guns to people who say they can't pass a background check. The background check has to be mandatory, and enforced. [snip][/quote]I listed legitimate concerns and ask legitimate questions, you responded with gibberish and failed to answer how the checks would be enforced without a registry. The data from media matters is hardly scientific research and is therefore irrelevant. But if those people really did agree to sell a gun to someone who couldn't pass a background check they would be in violation of current law if they made said sale.
