I understand the EO portion but again only Congress can enact taxes......

EO’s historically never went there.....

The courts would shut it down immediately.....

Recall what the Supreme Court did with Obama Care. They made what seemed unconstitutional “legal.”. I don’t trust the courts.

There’s already a $200 NFA tax on Class 3 weapons.

“EO’s historically never went there.....”


No, historically, EOs never created law. They did, and do, instruct all Executive Branch employees to act in a certain way WRT specified laws. So, for example, the President can state that he - the Chief Executive Officer of the US - interprets the NFA to mean that any semi-auto firearm can effectively fire bullets “as if” it was a fully automatic weapon, and thus all semi-autos are deemed to be full autos for purposes of the NFA.

“The courts would shut it down immediately....”


You mean the packed Supreme Court with 15 members, including 6 brand new “Living Constitution” Leftists? THAT Court? Yeah, if they get those 2 seats in Georgia, our Republic is OVER...they will interpret not merely the 2nd Amendment, but the entirety of our Constitution and our laws so as to best suit the Leftist/Collectivist agenda.

As the single most suck-ass President in our history once said, “Elections have consequences.” Even, it appears, STOLEN elections.

With all due respect (and I really mean that), please wake up: the Dems aren’t gentlemen, aren’t interested in either Roberts Rules of Order or the Constitution, they are interested in TOTAL power over us, PERIOD. They aren’t playing games, they are out to effectively enslave us...and grabbing our guns in one way or another (voluntary turn-ins, bogus felony convictions, pricing our right beyond our budget, outright confiscation - or some combination of those over a relatively short period of time - is one of their primary goals, as it is a bit difficult to impose a tyranny over a nation with 500 million guns, probably 100 million of which are semi-autos.
