    I wonder if that is even possible; ie can he try to issue an executive order instating an AWB? Unfortunately, ignorant in the workings of that type of overstep.

    They know this is going to die, so this is a last ditch attempt to keep it alive. Kind of a "line item veto" in reverse. The executive order is what he tried first and admitted that was as far as he could legally go.

    Except all he needs is a something that allows declaration of marshal law ...say like a food shortage, act of terrorism (which currently has a vacillating definition), executive branch has so many powers at the moment once criteria X,Y, and Z are met.

    People will accept it open arms, and realize way too late it was a huge mistake.

    But the last he would ever make. I feel confident of that.

    He can try an executive order and have the BATF impose additional restrictions. He won't care if it holds up in court a year or two later.
