Uncle Joe Says he will go Executive Order On Guns....

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

I wonder..and would love to hear any info or opinions...why Uncle didnt ban gun and/or ammo imports?
THAT woulda hurt more than anything else he did. Thoughts?

Because it actually would have hurt, even POs trying to buy ammo? That would mean no more Glocks for cops, right?

Because one of their lawyers intruded reality into the plans, and an EO ban of all guns and ammo in general would be illegitimate and wouldn't survive the first court challenge?

Or not. They care so little about rule of law for anything else, I don't see why it would stop them here. It could be purely a political calculation to stay at "boiled frog" and not move to "CW2." It could be that import duties on that stuff is too lucrative to give up the tax revenue. Dunno.

The president has pretty wide latitude on trade. Just look what Trump did to China. Maybe not ban, but he could put tariffs in place. That's my understanding at least.

No. Like before you just add a clause for Police and military only! Or whatever.

Also Glocks are made in US too!

Glocks are made in the US these days.

.gov is exempt. Glock 25 and 28 were always listed as LE only for that reason.

And here we are with the G42, because 925(d)(3) makes so much sense.

I had to go confirm he actually said that verbatim, and yup, he did (1):

"From the very beginning that the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren’t allowed to have weapons."

Those were free slaves and native Americans. How'd that work out for them?

Kinda narrows the viewpoint down.
