I fear your right. Whether he loses or not, I suspect one of the 1st orders of business after Nov. 7th, will be to sign an executive order for an AW Ban. He’s been holding back on this issue because of Democrats in congress being pressured by 2nd Ammendment constituents at home, but it will be Katy-Bar-The-Door after this time. Even more frustrating, if by some chance Romney wins(I have my doubts), Romney probably will not have the courage to reverse it.
He can’t do an AW ban by executive order. A law has to be passed by the legislature for that. He would have no authority to enforce it. I don’t doubt that he might do some silly crap before leaving the WH, that won’t be one the things he’s likely to try.
