Obama Administration Prepares “Final Assault” Against Gun Owners

The Hill is reporting that Barack Obama has directed his Department of Justice to prepare an final executive-level attack on the Second Amendment during the waning years of his failed presidency:
The Justice Department plans to move forward this year with more than a dozen new gun-related regulations, according to list of rules the agency has proposed to enact before the end of the Obama administration.
The regulations range from new restrictions on high-powered pistols to gun storage requirements. Chief among them is a renewed effort to keep guns out of the hands of people who are mentally unstable or have been convicted of domestic abuse.
Gun safety advocates have been calling for such reforms since the Sandy Hook school shooting nearly three years ago in Newtown, Conn. They say keeping guns away from dangerous people is of primary importance.
While short on specifics, the article notes that the Obama Admin will be targeting “high-powered pistols.” This must be interpreted as an attempt to ban magazine-fed rifle-caliber pistols, such as AR-15 and AKM-based pistols. These same firearms were used as an excuse for attempts to ban 5.56 NATO M855 rifle ammunition earlier this year. The Administration will also presumable attempt to ban arm braces attached to these pistols designed to make one-handed firing more easy for the physically disabled.
We’re unsure of precisely how the anti-gun Obama Administration is going to address gun storage requirements, or if they even have the legal authority to make requirements. This will bear watching.
