Obamacare wasn't an Executive Order and was watered down significantly from it's original form. Healthcare reform was imminent regardless of political affiliation due to unsustainable spending in light of lengthening life expectancy and increasing cost of care. In addition, it was found to be Constitutional by the Supreme Court.

I agree with wilt. I don't think anything major happens, especially an EO. Reps still control the house and too many on the left don't want guns banned either .

Am I the only one who thinks the NRA keeps perpetuating these rumors to boost their membership and gun sales? I'm still s member and will continue to be, but I've been losing respect for them lately.

While few presidents have used executive order, the few that do love to use them.

Did not count them all, but more than enough to worry me.

Its a shame almost none of this was addressed in obamacare.

I agree with your opinion on any gun control coming. I am afraid of a comprimise on magazines though.
