All guns fire a single round. They just do it over and over in rapid succession.
This is just the beginning...

"Reached by phone on Monday afternoon, Mueller said he decided to write the letter after he and his deputies kept hearing questions from Linn County residents about their positions on the gun control debate."
That is just more grandstanding bullshit and doesn't accomplish anything.
I said it in the other thread about this topic.......extremes on either side make them both look foolish.
Yup......
I'm a Second Amendment supporter, but I truly believe that the way to fight the crap is to do it the proper, legal, Constitutional way. I'd much rather see this Sheriff fight for what he believes in through the courts rather than him ignoring the Constitution also.
But in regards to congress making decisions also that may harmfully infringe on 2nd amendment rights.
Those decisions are and should be made by congress ONLY and the weight of the people should influence congress.
But what sucks is,campaign money is the only thing that really influences congress.
Sounds like to me he is going to take most of it to congress.
Sounds like he will handle some of the small stuff on his own,which isn't a big deal.
The other stuff will have to be passed through congress.
Which should be interesting.
1. "Issue a presidential memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system."
That might help a little.
2. "Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system."
That will help.
3. "Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system."
Could help a little.
4. "Direct the attorney general to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks."
This may help also....if they apply it to loonies.
5. "Propose rule making to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun."
Good.
6. "Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers."
Criminals & crazies will still get them on the black market and side step that one and steal them from friends,families & unsuspected victims.
7. "Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign."
Great news!
8. "Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission)."
Good deal!
9. "Issue a presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations."
They do this already....
10. "Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement."
Cool.
11. "Nominate an ATF director."
Preferably an agent that has spent at least 12 years in the field.
12. "Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations."
Great!
13. "Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime."
Good deal!
14. "Issue a presidential memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence."
Good deal!
15. "Direct the attorney general to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies."
Cool!
16. "Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes."
Most people wouldn't answer this honestly.
17. "Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities."
Cool.
18. "Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers."
I support this....
19. "Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education."
Cool.
20. "Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover."
Good deal.
21. "Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges."
Ok
22. "Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations."
Ok
23. "Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health."
Good for the crazies.

That is my take on them.
They did a a pretty good job IMO.
Pit Row
That was what I was directing my reply on.Even though it sounded blunt...sorry.
Now the stuff that get's taken to congress and what passes should be interesting.
That's the issue, this one man deciding which part of the Constitution he wants to uphold, and ignoring the basic framework.
We could still own them & sell them freely.
There was no surrendering weapons at federal level.
They did however classify the Cobray street sweeper as a destruction device.
And people who owned them in States that didn't allow destruction devices had to either surrender them with no comp. or transfer them to an out of state Class3 FFL dealer to sell them for them.
I don't believe he wants to take anything away we already own.
At least I hope not.
Perhaps there has been one. I could be wrong.
