List of the 23 EO's

The reality is they are more like suggestions, not orders. EA, not EO. Executive actions. Like when he goes to the toilet. So don't worry so much yet. Nothing is going to happen unless congress votes it in.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).

Guva-ment subsidized gun safe purchase program? Since we'd have already paid for it, I would do this. Maybe it'll be a gun safe "cash for clunkers" program and we get to trade in our decades old "safes" for something better. Just sayin'.

But then [read my signature], maybe I should just not do anything to reveal what guns I might have, to people I'd just as soon stay ignorant about them. But then I just know the feds read these forums so ......

Bizar, in a belgian newspaper 23 measures where published tody (in dutch of course):
they differ greatly.
n° 2 : prohibit the sale of AW or any rifle resembling military arms FOR YEARS to come
n° 3 : maximum 10 bullets alowed in a magazine
n° 4 : prohibit armor piercing ammo

Is this journalistic misinformation? Where did they get this?

vaupet...sounds like pretty gross mis-reporting. As we all know, that happens everywhere and quite often.

Have they even published the text of the EO's yet? I still can't find them, not listed on the whitehouse website, nowhere.

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.

IMO this one will be a PITA for FFL's, increase our overhead, and will waste time and resources for LE. Most seized guns don't need to be traced to make a case for a criminal investigation.

That's just the list, an overview. I want the actual legalese wording in them. That's what matters.

Not sure what happened to the other 20.

Most seized guns don't need to be traced to make a case for a criminal investigation.

They would if they are looking at making a criminal case for supplying guns illegally to criminals

Seems reasonable. However, do the peds folks ask about unsecure gating around swimming pools? Do some research on how many children die from accidental drowning vs. accidental shootings and then ask some of your attendings or residents why they don't ask about swimming pools...

I'm pretty sure it did; I'm in Houston and children drowning in swimming pools is a huge problem every summer.
