A sigh of relief?

On Sunday, top gun lobbyists predicted that there’s not enough support in Congress for a new ban on assault weapons and that even curbs on high-capacity magazine clips were in doubt.

I'll believe it when I see it, and even then I'll be sceptical. These grabbers will never stop!

BHO can use his dictatorial powers to bypass congress. He has done it a lot since the Dems lost the house in2010.
Donald Trump got more fat women moving in one day than Michelle Obama did in eight years.

A sigh of relief?

Whenever the President makes an executive order that effects anyone other than federal employees when performing their job, it denies the population their right to representation.

I'd rather they say that than have them saying, "Let's see what we can get them to give up next."

A sigh of relief? No!

I took the quiz on that page. It's about how much you know on the 2A. The answer to #10 seems full of bias.

10. Does the Second Amendment guarantee a personal right to own assault rifles, machine guns, and perhaps even shoulder-fired missiles?
Your response:
Yes.
Correct answer:
Probably not.

You're not the only one. If nothing happens great, but I don't trust the majority of people in DC to not to try some sort of shenanigans.

People should ignore any executive orders he might make when it comes to guns.
