Executive Actions vs Executive Orders

[C-grunt]

I'm seeing on social media that ole Joe's gun control scheme released today are Executive Actions. They are saying that Executive Actions are not the same as Executive Orders and have little to no weight of law.

Anyone know the difference? Is it true?

Googling is not giving me a real answer.

This might help. Also, EO's apply only to the administrative agency involved.

I would add that if Joe is only using "actions" it will amount to nothing on the gun control scene...good.

EA would be like telling ATF to take another look at XYZ and flip their flop on what they said before or else.

So can I still buy a damn 80% kits or what?
