    Well no Executive Order for a BAN.

    Just a Proposal to do so.

    Now on to Congress where supposedly it shall not pass.

    Where is info on that proposal? Not questioning I just haven't seen it and its not in that list eradicater put up?

    Edit -
    I guess he mentioned it in the speech?

    Executive order #6

    6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

    [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Kinda presumptuous don't you think? Useless unless congress passes legislation to back it up.

    I hope they lump all of these proposals together and create one bill. I think it is our best chance of defeating all of it.

    At first glance, it doesn't look bad at all. The only one that really makes we wonder is, "Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers". But, it says nothing about those private sales background checks being made mandatory...that would have to be done in Congress. Did I miss something else big?

    He EXPECTS Congress to go along with his Universal Background Checks, Assault Weapons Ban and Magazine limits so since he KNOWS that Congress is going to give him what he wants he is preparing for it. Thats my .02 cents anyway.
