POTUS Needs to Explain his 23 Executive Actions/Orders

I would love to see the President do a 30 minute PSA where he walks through and explains in plain terms his 23 Executive Actions/Orders. Reading through them it is hard to argue that they are over reaching or excessive. Many are pro-active and well thought out ideas. In fact a few are even re-worded RBKA ideas. While watching a very gun-centric Washington Journal this morning it was clear which callers had read the EO's and which had not. Many think that he signed the Assault Weapons Ban and high cap mag ban into law through Exec Order and didn't leave it for the legislative process to work out. This is why I would love to see him take 30 minutes on all the major networks to walk through his ideas with the American gun owner. I think it would cut down on the hysteria and hearsay and leave a lot of of very pro RKBA scratching their heads and saying, 'Actually, that is a pretty good idea' at least a couple of times.

People who think gun control caused the holocaust and that Fast and Furious was some conspiracy to arm Mexican drug gangs don't respond to facts and evidence.

None of those executive orders messes with the ability to obtain the precious, shouldn't be a big deal then eh?

It would be showing that fact on TV to the masses directly from Obama's mouth.

I know she hasn't read any of it and that she has most of it backwards. Meanwhile I'm letting her wail and gnash her teeth before I tell her she is wrong.

It never gets old...
