That's because he knows he can't create laws through executive order. Or a better explanation would be he hasn't figured out a way to do it through EO yet.The EO's at least according to they Fox News list, if you trust it, had nothing to do with an AWB, mandatory background checks on all transactions or anything to do with magazine capacity. Even the prez said he urges Congress to address those 3 issues.
The EO's aren't too bad, really. No restrictions on importation, redefining 12ga shotguns as destructive devices, limits on internet sales, etc. It could have been a lot worse.
Thank you msr and Mosinguy.
Here's the short summary:
Save the children
No private gun sales
Background checks on everything
No "assault" weapons
Save the children more
No high-capacity magazines
Save the children
Any Congressman who doesn't want this wants NRA money and dead children
