Crazies in and out of Congress are threatening to impeach President Obama over his executive actions on guns.
Yes, those actions are very scary.
For example, he is going to nominate a director for the ATF.
He’s going to begin a conversation about mental health.
He’s going to begin a campaign to emphasize safe and responsible gun ownership.
He’s going to clarify what mental health services Medicaid must provide.
He’s going to offer additional training for active shooter situations.
Nominations and conversations and campaigns and clarifications and training, oh my!
All of the executive actions he outlined today are pretty wimpy and none of them can be interpreted as taking away anyone’s Second Amendment rights.
All the big stuff, the meaningful stuff is going to Congress, and it looks as if we may get better background checks, but we won’t get a ban on assault weapons or large ammo clips.
I can’t believe that this moment is going to slip away, but now I think it is. And if Sandy Hook doesn’t get us to act, I have no idea what will.
It’s awful enough that those beautiful children and brave teachers died. Even worse is that they will have died in vain. Even worse is that the paranoid fringe is going to win.
