Huh?
That’s It?
What a crock.
I predict the gun-control wackos are not going to be pleased.
I don’t see any assault weapons ban on the list.... WHEW!
But then, I live in NY, which recently passed its own ban so this list means nothing to me.
That’s It?
What a crock.
That's my read, at least for now. I think that the extent of people arming up across the country got his panties in a wad. The only substantive thing his party will do is propose a renewal of an invigorated AWB, and when that doesn't pass he'll (drumroll)...blame the Republicans.
No ban on imported guns or ammo - he could've done that under GCA '68 (as unconstitutional as that POS is), and didn't...I wonder why?
This probably wasn’t plan A. He probably chickened out like the coward he is.
—Huh?
That’s It?
What a crock.

I thought the same thing on initial read. I guess we shall read. It could have been much worse.
I am quite shocked at how milquetoast the "Executive orders" are. Technically they are merely directives and not orders at all. I'm wondering if he wasn't scared off by the possible negative impact of some actual gun grabbing order.
This was all Kabuki Theater with the Children as props. "Look what I'm doing for the Children" and when you look at it closely, he didn't do anything.
The good thing is that this is all smoke and mirrors. The bad thing is that this was all smoke and mirrors.
He's going after our guns one way or the other. Tyrants can't operate where the citizenry is armed. If he is going to destroy this country he will need to take the weapons out of the hands of patriots. That is his goal.
I’d wondered if this would be a defusing move: let the opposition whip themselves into an embarrassing frenzy, then announce nothing controversial.
New EOs can be issued any time.
And AWB2 is well on its way to Congress.
That's the very first thought I had. They're throwing a candy bar on the table when the anti-gun crazies want a full course meal.
It will be interesting to see how the MSM tries to spin these 23 "executive orders" to the public in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Well just wait. "Dangerous" is a fairly broad and non-defined description. I wonder what the actual categories are....
Yeh, that was my thought. “OH NOES GUN BAN” echoing through my mind was replaced with “BIG FRICKIN’ DEAL”.
“Huh?
That’s It?”
A friend in NY state sent me this list earlier this morning.
After looking through it, my response was the same as yours. That is, pretty much designed for “show”, not much “go”.
I’m going to -guess- that both Biden’s committee and Obama himself have gotten wind of the opposition to their putsch. Particulary with the reactions from the red states, including the proposed legislation in Wyoming, the letter to Biden from that sheriff out in Oregon, probably more. Perhaps they sense the possiblity of “unintended consequences” from any attempt to end-run the Constitution by way of “executive action”.
I don’t think they expected the forceful response from the states — even up to the gubernatorial level — that they have seen.
I’ll guess that they figure their only chance is to push for all they can get in the Congress, and let it go at that.
I don’t expect the Republicans to prevail as a unified oppostion in the Senate. However, I think conservatives have a better chance with the Pubbies in the House. We can only hope.
