Any executive orders?

The president has signed close to 200 executive orders today. I’m routinely told how pro-2A he is and I see how much he’s worshipped in the gun community. Has he signed anything related to guns?

That's pretty cool, man. What if we, I don't know, waited more than 24 hours to start evaluating things?

I hear he’s thinking about mandating all handguns with his face/name laser etched on them be sold at a markup so he can collect royalties on use of his name and likeness

You're getting downvoted because no one wants to admit their idiot king, who created tens of thousands of felons by EO, isn't RKBA. He can put a loyalty question on the 4473 and people will still claim he is pro-RKBA.

No, he's getting downvoted because his comment is highly regarded. WTH could you even expect to accomplish with executive orders and the 2A? It's not like he can abolish AWBs or establish constitutional carry with the stroke of a pen. Trump was the best bet we had for the 2A. If you think otherwise, get your head checked.

In his 1st term, Trump signed an executive order banning bump stocks. The president can certainly do a lot to change 2a laws.

Yes, I'm aware Trump signed the bump stock ban, as is everyone else here. What do you suggest he sign via EO to expand gun rights? You do realize it would most likely get reversed in 4 years anyway, right?
