Is his power unrestricted or does he still have limits? And can the SCOTUS overturn any of them?

Of course he has limits. In general he will need to twist an existing law to meet his ends.
I think 80% arms will be facing changes and pistol braced firearms are also likely to face changes/regulations. |
|
[#3]
He can ban all importation of ammo right now, which would mean $5 a round 5.56 overnight.

Probably not much or we would be feeling his hands on our shoulders, breath on our necks and dick up our asses by now.

I think the last few months have proven unequivocally that the dnc can do what ever the fuck they want. Laws do not apply to them, and the SCOTUS is not on America's or the constitution's side, and the republicans are all too happy to bend you over and hold you down while the democrats ass rape you.

He will stop imports, he does have the authority to do that. The ATF through rules making will make 80% and braces go away for sure. I figure they will also consider binary triggers to be MG's just like they did with bump stocks. The fuckery he can do with the ATF will be endless.

Expect "creative reinterpretation" of rules by the ATF, import bans of any even remotely scary looking gun and gun parts/ammo and a big legislative push for some kind of comprehensive gun control bill from hell that will be heavily negotiated but still totally unconstitutional and un-American.

EOs can only be issued to executive agencies about laws they already informed via regs.
Legally, all he can say is do or don't enforce this reg, and only ones overseen by executive agencies. Legally. But who is going to keep him in check? |
|
[#11]
As much power as the previous president had with an executive order to ban bumpstocks.
|
|
[#12]
As much as the courts will allow.
Which is absolute power for dems. |

The agencies will be unleashed. Executive Orders in many cases won’t even be necessary.
There’s the false claim going around for decades that GHWB executive ordered the 89 import ban. He never signed any executive order, he simply allowed ATF to infringe. |

He can ban ammo from other countries and have the current prices be permanent. |

He can do anything we can't stop him from doing. Zippy was adamant that he couldn't do DACA by EO. Then he did it. Then PDJT undid it by EO and the Surreal Court said he couldn't, or at least what he did didn't count.

The real question is.
When will states start saying FU? I suspect that states rights will come to the forefront. Keep in mind. He hasn’t done anything yet but provide sound bites for election fodder. Remember, Lock her up! It never happened. |

[#20]
How much power did his predecessors have with executive orders and gun "laws" without legislation? Spoiler...they do what they want and get away with it.
|
|
[#21]
About as much as Obama, based on the Constitution and laws.
But...the rule of law is dead, so...unlimited. |
|
[#23]
Everybody thinks the SCotUS will save the US, remember the Japanese-Americans and Roosevelt's EO 9066?
|
|
[#24]
After the first mass shooting, he'll just dictate and nobody will do anything.
Its been working with COVID, so guns and "climate change" are next. |
|
[#25]
I'm tarded |

[#26]
Since the batfe has seemingly limitless powers to create whatever rule they want...id say xiden can/will do whatever he wants.
|

[#27]
|

[#29]
Nothing can stop him/them from doing whatever they want. Law doesn't apply to them.
If you think SCOTUS is going to do anything (other than continue to say fuck you to the law and constitution) you are delusional |
|
[#32]
As much as those in positions of authority are willing to enforce???
|
|
[#33]
He'll push until he gets some serious push back...which wont happen !!

Most Trump EOs affecting immigration or other Leftist issues, had lawsuits filed before the ink was dry and before they were to go into effect

WHAT??? He just swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. |

Have we reached triple digits on the what if threads? Maybe we should just roll everything up into one mega thread because it’s the same questions and answers over and over. Sire resources and all

How is someone to know about these changes? I never received a letter saying anything about bump stocks. If I didn't read this site and a lot of gun owners don't, how would one know?
Is it just assumed that I am aware of every law in the nation? |

Executive Orders
During his term, President Clinton also used the power of executive orders to implement gun control policies. On April 6, 1998 Clinton signed an order that permanently banned the importation of more than 50 types of semiautomatic "assault weapons".[12] In 1999, White House domestic policy chief Bruce D. Reed said, "The country is tired of waiting for Congress to respond to the tragedy in Littleton. The administration is going to do every thing in its power to make progress on guns."[13] Many accused Clinton of overuse of the executive power on gun control issues. |

The SCOTUS won't touch anything meaningful on guns again. |
