Who were the NEVER an XO members?

of course he wants to hear what EO he can make. Doesn't mean there are any. Someone gives you 2 choices, one of which requires dealing with an angry hostile mob, you are going to look hard at the second choice.

What can be done? well the days for your Saiga may be numbered, and semi 12Ga may go the AOW route. They rely on a sporting exemption now. Have to be careful here to not piss off the fudd birders though.
The man is not king/dictator, ther are limits to what he can actually do. I expect the limits to be pushed, but that's why there are 2 other branches of govt to slap him down.

You're talking about someone who is going to force you to PROVE he can't issue an EO and has a track record of going ahead and doing what he wants until he's forced to redirect. While we recognize he has limits, I don't think he does.

which goes right back to Jim's comment about it getting ugly and expensive in the courts.

As much as he wants to, he cannot issue an EO saying turn in your guns to the local eco-cycle.

Executive orders can not trump the Constitution, not that the shithead in office gives a damn about hte Constitution.

... and therein lies the problem. I wouldn't be worried if he recognized limits to his power but he doesn't. Screaming "but I'm right and you're wrong" isn't going to do jack all if Obama decides he can write an EO to require extreme safety measures for ammo storage, slow down and throttle NICS background checks, tighten interstate transfers, etc. Sure, we'll be fighting it in court but that will all take years before getting a decision and they will try to implement and institutionalize the restrictions while the fight is going on.
