So, the president completely quiets the other side with this EO, fully knowing that, eventually, it will get overturned by the SCOTUS if anyone bothers to fight it. And it is about something nobody on either side really supports, except the hard core principle of “anything that so much as touches a gun should not be banned” purists.
I understand the concept of slippery slope, but sometimes it’s necessary to spend a little time on the edge of that slope. Life is risk.
The president has no intention of seeing his order overturned. He supports this because he believes in it.
He also publicly castrated the nra with Feinstein in attendance.
Do not attempt to act like this isnt a big deal or that its not really Trumps doing.
Allowing the president to write brand new law out of thin air poses an existential threat to the republics institutional integrity. Thats not hyperbole or exaggeration. Its cold hard fact.
I hope trump didnt lose 2020 over this but its a very real possibility.
