31. Could Obama not sign an Executive Order with a process that has absolutely nothing to do with

banning or control per se...just the requiring to re-register, pay a fee, show ID, a permit and a signature...just like we do at the pharmacy for "controlled substances", or turn it in no question asked for a flat $100 regardless of condition, impose a transaction fee on every transfer, double or triple the cost of ammunition based on taxes...just like cigarettes.

Not saying he would do it, but would it not be within his power?
