Heard a rumor last night he was going to executive order AWB II and other gun restriction/bans until congress passes it.

“AWB II”

Recall that George Bush Sr. banned AK-47 imports in 1989 after a mass shooting.

That Klintoon broadened that ban in 1994. Both EOs are still in effect. They have been circumvented both by domestic manufacturers of AK frames/parts and the sunset of AWB I.

But the Commerce Department can ban any imported product it wants. Or whatever the POTUS wants banned.

But IIRC, banning domestic production of autoloading rifles will require legislative action. And not all Democrats are blue-staters immune to challenge.
