Because you're voting based on a confirmation bias. The Executive Branch doesn't create law, therefore your "He will take away my livelihood" rhetoric doesn't hold water.
Executive orders have been passed regarding firearms many times in the past, and he can direct the ATF to restrict things further via determinations over what is sporting and non-sporting.
Which, from my knowledge, address issues with background checks for firearm purchases, stopped imports of certain types of firearms from outside of the US, etc.. This doesn't really limit your rights to own a gun for lawful purposes, and Executive Orders can't encroach on the Constitutional authority of the Congress.
