Nothing substantive. So banning a “arm brace” whatever that is, won’t do anything. Not even bringing back the old assault gun ban.

I'm skeptical that redefining arm braces as NFA items and requiring the estimated 10 to 40 million Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #2
Isn't it a shame that Presidents can't do whatever they want without Congressional approval? brooklynite Apr 2021 #3
Isn't it a shame that the Republican majority Congress did whatever Trump wanted them to do? Martin68 Apr 2021 #13
So we should be an unconstitutional as the Republicans? brooklynite Apr 2021 #14
That's a leap. That's not what I wrote. I mean literally what I wrote, if you can wrap your head Martin68 Apr 2021 #18
I was responding to someone who felt President Biden should do everything on his own... brooklynite Apr 2021 #22
Please tell me where I disagreed with anything. You are reading words and meaning Martin68 Apr 2021 #23
An EO is similar to a memo to employees. He is NOT changing law AZLD4Candidate Apr 2021 #24
Your definition of an EO is correct...and has nothing to do with his constitutional limits brooklynite Apr 2021 #25
If he is clarification enforcement of a law, yes he can. Again, he is using the EO AZLD4Candidate Apr 2021 #34
So, you're saying that President Biden CAN ban assault weapons and therefore chose NOT to? brooklynite Apr 2021 #37
No, I don't believe I said that AZLD4Candidate Apr 2021 #40
Well, either he CAN'T (my opinion) or he CAN (your opinion) brooklynite Apr 2021 #42
The GOP didn't get much of anything through legislatively. Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #47
It is a shame. Let's elect a Congress that will do whatever Biden wants to do. But this sentiment is Beastly Boy Apr 2021 #27
No they didn't. The ACA would be gone if they had. In fact, except for tax cuts Trump got nothing Demsrule86 Apr 2021 #46
Anything "substantive" requires Congressional action. maxsolomon Apr 2021 #38
I sure hope this isn't all he will do. pandr32 Apr 2021 #4
I'm surprised he didn't announce restrictions on imports of "assault weapons". Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #5
Good question pandr32 Apr 2021 #11
Which is just another name for the Assault Weapons Ban, which would require legislation. Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #17
Actually I wasn't sure pandr32 Apr 2021 #36
It's easy to assume people are being snarky on the internet when such is not the case. I apologize Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #41
You're happy, I'm happy pandr32 Apr 2021 #50
We export weapons NickB79 Apr 2021 #32
Oh, granted...an import ban would have zero impact on AR's, but it would impact AK's and other Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #33
I'm very disappointed after all the hype. Martin68 Apr 2021 #6
What were you hoping for? Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #7
Universal background checks required, assault rifles and super-sized clips banned, open carry banned Martin68 Apr 2021 #8
Every one of those would require legislation, not executive orders. Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #10
Then why make a big deal about a gun regulation announcement? What was the point? Martin68 Apr 2021 #12
He was under pressure to "do something". This is pretty much the limit of what he can do on his own. Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #19
Total waste of time and political capital, in my opinion. Martin68 Apr 2021 #21
It takes the heat off of him to act on the issue. Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #29

Thank you. Many people greatly overestimate the scope of EO's. Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #20

Actually, many people misunderstand the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 - 2004. Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #28
I see this differently than most.... getagrip_already Apr 2021 #30
I think going after pistol braces is a miscalculation. Unlike bump stocks, these are *very* popular, Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #31
Yeah, they're already mobilized. maxsolomon Apr 2021 #39
Many are. Many are not. Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #43
OK, guess we should have avoided that 3rd rail then. maxsolomon Apr 2021 #44
With the exception of braces and "ghost guns", I don't think any of the other EO's he announced Dial H For Hero Apr 2021 #48
