I just ran across this Google link posted 12 minutes ago and thought I would read the linked article. Silly me. Of course FOX cannot allow their readers access to this information. The page is no longer available.

(512 posts)That's why I hate FOX News. They just wanna bitch about Obama all the time. Has FOX News forgotten about (once upon a time) a wonderful man and president named George W. Bush. Please, they wouldn't know a good president with their eyes closed.

(11,996 posts)"Quick draw Republicans in Congress, intent on stopping any gun-control proposal from the Obama White House, are way off target when they accuse the president of violating gun ownership rights under the Constitution.
Gun control is completely consistent with the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. And President Obama is on target with the great American tradition of proposing gun control laws for Congressional approval as well as by issuing executive orders on gun control.
The only opinion that matters here is the Supreme Courts opinion. And the high court has ruled, several times, that the president, the Congress, state and local government all have the power to regulate guns. The Court reaffirmed this interpretation as recently as 2008 in the landmark case, District of Columbia vs. Heller.
Article II of the U.S. Constitution clearly grants Obama and any other president the authority and the discretion to issue executive orders with the force of law over the sale of guns and ammunition."
