Send Bush a letter, email, phone call, etc. Maybe if he had enough people calling and bugging him in his last few days in office he could issue some sort of presidential edict to overturn the 1986 Ban to p.o. Obama? Just a thought.

The way I understand it Executive Orders can't undo laws passed by Congress.

Hughes Amendment is the law in this case.

What makes you thinkg Bush would do something like that? Do you know how fast Obama and company would change that law back?

This is actually an interesting question.

It's been tradition, for the most part, for incoming Presidents not to undo the EO's from their predecessors.

Will be interesting to see if Obama does that.

Not that Bush put any particularly golden EO's in place anyway.

Yes, thankfully there are checks and balances in our system to limit executive powers. It was a pipe dream I was having (figuratively speaking). I know the president could not do anything with the current law as it stands, nor would he. I think Bush said in the past that he would sign into law the renewal of the Clinton gun ban if congress passed it. I think Bush could have been a much stronger force than he was with regards to gun rights. He could have used the bully-pulpit for some of these issues more effectively though. It is my opinion that we need a good revamping of the conservative party. Stick to good old fashion conservative policies and values =win elections. Move to the center= lose elections. Not trying to start a political argument though. I hope and pray for the best with our new president and as an American I will continue to obey and uphold all the laws.
