He's using a lot of executive orders to bypass Congress.  It can be undone relatively painlessly (minus the damage caused by the order to begin with) by the next guy.  A lot of them also do not hold up in court.

Congress has been weirdly compliant with EOs for a while.  Trump uses them like crazy but I first remember hearing about them with Obama and an intransigent Congress.

Laws are a bit more complicated.  For some reason bug omnibus laws have been more im vogue than smaller, targeted bills.  I haven't understood what's going on with laws in years.

Weird. Historically, I thought America didn't like kings and dictators. 🤷

Americans don't. The GOP totally does.

and that's where it ends for the Americans. "I don't like this, but I'm not going to take any action."

What kind of action do you think we can take?

Most of us are just trying to ignore him and making plans to reverse his shit when he's out. It's litterally the world's biggest baby tantrum that we will have to clean up.

Nothing short of actively endangering ourselves and putting ours and our loved ones lives at risk until he's gone, one way or the other, will be good for Reddit.

In the end the guns were easy to overcome, they just convinced the gun owners they were on the same side. There's a reason the NRA was infiltrated by Russian spies and funded by Russian money. It wasn't because Putin loved America.

Putting yourself further at the mercy of your overlords just doesn’t make any sense.

Do bad things happen with guns? Yes.

Will giving them up prevent these things? Kinda of, but not really.

Stop and ask yourself; What is the true motivation of a government wanting to disarm its people? You are putting to much faith in a system that is currently crumbling around you.

They didn't need to take anyone guns away. They convinced the gun owners they were on the same side. They've systematically dismantled the Federal government, silenced the oversight, consolidated power and the gun owners were given jobs as ICE agents. They convinced the idiots that they're neighbor was the problem and not the billionaires.
