I'm in two minds about this one.

First and foremost, they can't be allowed to get away with this. These scumbags need to be arrested and prosecuted. Otherwise, what's stopping any moron with an issue, real or imagined, heading into their local federal government office for whatever and taking over the place.

That said, how to bring it to an end is the issue. Do they blockage them, turn off power and prevent supplies reaching them and just wait them out? Or do they negotiate and try to coax them out once they see the futility of what they're doing?

And sure enough, some moronic minor Republicans were quick off the mark with their support for these idiots. Thankfully, the likes of Cruz and Kasich recognize the wider implications and told them to end it immediately.

Does this constitute proper action on guns finally? It's not taking guns out of hands per se but it is a 'f**k you' to the NRA that he's gone the Executive Order route. I'm not sure of the ins and outs but is this the best he can do?

It's very little, screen, and it'll be fought tooth and nail every inch of the way.  Very dispiriting.

As for the Oregon Cowboys, I believe their access to public telephones, public electricity and public roads may well be cut off.  Lovely place to be this frigid time of the year.  Hope they keep their word and stay there for eons.

What should Obama do in this case Stew?

Should he forget the lessons Bush (Ruby Ridge) and Clinton (Waco) learned in the early 90s and provoke the gun fight these men say they're ready for?

Or do what Clinton later did with the Montana Freemen and wait, negotiate and eventually trick them into peaceful arrests?

It is very little, despite the predictable hysterics of the GOP presidential candidates and congresssional leaders today.

I do wonder, however, how extending background checks can be unconstitutional when they already exist for 60% of gun sales?? :o

Do these people really think their followers are morons?  ;D

J70, I've amended my view.  Their followers ARE morons, and they're heavily armed, and incensed by fear-mongering TV ads from Ted Cruz saying that "Obama is going to take your guns."

The GOP will not move on gun control

Ike would not recognize today's GOP
Run by small men in thrall to great wealth and the vicious likes of Wayne la Pierre

another thing that isn't given enough attention in the gun debate is America's problem with mental illness , especially for poor people . Treatment in Ireland is far, far superior
