He would tell me stories about how FDR seized gold in the 30’s,

I read where two brothers, just before the order, converted $20,000 in gold certificates into gold coin. AFTER the order, fed agents tracked them down, seized the gold, and gave them $20,000 in paper. They took the issue to the Supreme Court and they said, in effect, that since they got their $20,000 back, there was no injustice. When I read that, I put the Court in the same "Political Hacks" category as the politicians.

This very Executive Order gives me no hope that Kamala Biden won’t just seize guns by this method.
