And as it went down the guy who punched an innocent black man for being there asked for legal help and the Dumpster claimed his (recorded) offer was never made. Of course if he made good on that Promise (he used the P word) he would be legally liable, tho there's no law against breaking promises

Sterling. As is his repetition of how great the old days were when giving someone the "bad finger" would get a person clobbered. We know cos we watched the tv westerns, right?

Actually, breech of contract is against the law. If he doesn't pay, and he's sued, the case would have merit.

Restrict: To confine or keep within limits, as of space, action, choice, intensity, or quantity.

Directs the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to require any business that engages in the sale of guns to obtain a federal license to do so and conduct background checks. This requirement applies to gun stores, sellers of guns at gun shows, and sellers of guns over the Internet. The licensing requirement applies to all sellers “engaged in the business” of selling guns, regardless of how frequent or how many sales there are. Failure to obtain a license to sell will carry criminal penalties of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Failure to conduct a required background check will also carry penalties. [THIS IS A RESTRICTION, AND AN ESPECIALLY UNDUE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ON SMALL BUSINESS AND GUN SHOWS.]

Though I agree with preventing the mentally ill from obtaining firearms, all of the related EOs are guess what? Restrictions! Duh!

Directs the departments of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security to conduct or sponsor research into gun safety technology that would reduce the likelihood of accidental discharge or unauthorized use of a firearm. Requires that a strategy for real-world deployment of this technology be prepared within 90 days. [THIS COST WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE CONSUMER, AND SO THIS IS A RESTRICTION ON WHO WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD A GUN.]

Bans military-style assault weapons and limits magazines to a capacity of 10 rounds. [The word "limits" says it all. The purist's definition of restriction exemplified. So, I can only have ten rounds now?]

You need a license to sell cigarettes so what? If you think a license is going to raise the cost of guns considerably you are exaggerating sonewhat the impact. Where do criminals get their guns? From unlicensed sources generally, and places where they are not recorded.

New federal regulations were concurrent with a price hike in cigarettes...and maybe there is causality? It wouldn't shock me.

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (also known as the FSPTC Act) was signed into law by President Barack Obama on June 22, 2009. This bill changed the scope of tobacco policy in the United States by giving the FDA the ability to regulate tobacco products, similar to how it has regulated food and pharmaceuticals since the passing of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.

On October 12, 2003, the State of California enacted the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Licensing Act (Assembly Bill 71 [Chapter 890, Statutes 2003]) (Act) which established a statewide licensing program under Division 8.6 (commencing with section 22970) of the California Business and Professions Code. The Act imposed licensing requirements on all retailers, wholesalers, and distributors of cigarettes and tobacco products and all manufacturers and importers of cigarettes. These licensing requirements are in addition to the permits and licenses that may be required depending on your business operations. The Act, intended to decrease tax evasion on the sales of cigarettes and tobacco products in California, also included provisions for new recordkeeping requirements, inspection and seizure of any untaxed cigarettes or tobacco products, and imposed civil and criminal penalties for violations.

I'm having a hard time finding when each state began licensing, but I suppose California's timing is highly relevant here.

Mandatory under certain conditions, you forgot to say. And Obama did more than change the fine.

PolitiFact Sheet: 3 things to know about the 'gun show loophole'

Our findings show that there is, in fact, an exemption in the law. But the exemption pertains to who sells the guns rather than where they sell them.

1. Federally licensed gun sellers are required to run background checks. But not all sellers are required to be licensed. Some of those unlicensed sellers sell at gun shows.

Federal law requires that persons who are engaged in the business of dealing in firearms be licensed by the federal government. Obama’s goal with his new plan is to tighten the screws on who is included in that group.

Announced Jan. 5, Obama’s plan requires those in the business of dealing in firearms -- including sellers at stores, gun shows and on the Internet -- get a license. Once they’re licensed, they are required to conduct background checks on all buyers.

But private sellers without a federal license don’t have to meet the same requirement. Though this exception is often referred to as the "gun show loophole," it actually applies more broadly to unlicensed individuals, whether they are selling at a gun show or somewhere else. (Some states have implemented their own background check requirement beyond federal law.)

Sarah Palin, a former GOP vice presidential nominee and reality television star who has endorsed him, initially blasted Trump for statements that were “not consistent with the stringent position and message” of his primary campaign.

“If Mr. Trump were to go down a path of wishy-washy positions taken on things that the core foundation of his support has so appreciated, and that is respecting our Constitution and respecting law and order in America, then yeah, there would be massive disappointment,” Palin said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal Thursday.

Let's get real here. The Trump is Hitler meme is absurd. Trump is an uber capitalist.

Hitler was a Socialist who, along with his bully boy Nazi Socialists gloried in their National Socialism and even named their political party....The National Socialist German Workers' Party!

As for the twaddle that Trump is a fascist, it's nonsense.

Hitler's running mate, Benito Mussolini, another Socialist, established his political party in Italy with the name...Nationalist Fasci di Combattimento, otherwise known as "The Fascist Party".

I understand Citizens of the World panting to merge America into a world wide Socialist Gulag run by the UN or some other organization of bumbling, bungling incompetent boobs but just because Trump is an America and American First candidate, that doesn't make him either a Hitlerite or a Fascist. He's neither.

Just as a matter of idle curiosity, what would you expect in an AMERICAN PRESIDENT?

America Last?
Mexico, China, Japan, Vietnam, Russia..the world FIRST?

If so, you are undoubtedly an Obama and/or Hillary The Corrupt supporter. Guess what? I'm not. I'm a..."neither of the above" and Trump is about as far from The Marxist Messiah, Obama and Hillary The Corrupt as it's possible to get.

Trump has been called lots of names. Among them:

Racist
Bigot
Bully
Misogynist
Fraud
Fake
Phony
Dangerous
Destructive
Unprincipled
Democrat
Hitlerite
Fascist

Time now to reach for a new name for Donald Trump. Let's try "Mr. President" on for size!
