I can only imagine that "DOTUS" is some silly name you have come up with instead of POTUS that you think is witty.
Yes, the will of the people overwhelmingly support additional gun control measures.
Guns and ammo are selling out because a minority is stockpiling them due to the fear campaign that was run by the Republcans and the Gun Industry/Lobby
Of course they want you to fear your guns being taken from you...that's good business for them...and it worked.

When you have to ask permission to purchase a firearm, it is no longer a right.
It is a privilege.
I think we should keep it as a Right..

Obama knows that most Americans dont want gun control taken
any further than it already is. He does NOT represent the people,
only his agenda, to dismantle the United States.

If you are a evil person bent on killing as many people as possible, should you have the right to a gun?
Background checks are not asking permission to purchase a firearm. Background checks are a way of letting others know whether or not you are an evil person bent on killing as many people as possible.
We have had background checks for a very long time. Many, many people have purchased guns with these background checks in place. Closing the loopholes on existing background checks aren't going to stop sane, law-abiding people from purchasing their guns - just like always.

Did a background check stop Lanza?
It might have stopped James Holmes in Aurora. He purchased his guns online - with no background check.

I asked if a background check would have stopped Lanza, and I get Holmes?
By law all internet purchases are shipped to FFL"S, and the person can only pick them up after a BACKGROUND check.
Nice try that dog don't hunt.
Friends and family have portrayed Mrs Lanza as a paranoid ‘survivalist’ who believed the world was on the brink of violent collapse.
It would have stopped Lanza's Mother who was considered as a Paranoid Survivalist, and guess what?, she owned the guns, not her son. Fail - Next.

Good for Obama, there is a lot he can do with EOs...and it may just be stricter than anything that had a chance in Congress.

He gave the Republicans a chance to be for the people and not suck the boots of the NRA and big money lobby, they failed.

Serious question here.... Gun owners really dont think a universal background check is a good idea? I may be naive ignorant but if you dont have a criminal background and are mentally stable you should have nothing to worry about. Right? Someone educate me briefly.
