To clear up the muddling of his executive orders, here is what they say according to the White House press secretary. All new firearms must be sent to an ffl and can not be sold to an individual directly. Well guess that that is already to law. Show up at the colt factory and tell them your here to pick up your new 1911 and they will need you to an ffl because they cant sell to you directly

Pretty sure you'll have to get that Colt from a dealer, before or after any EOs. Nothing new here.

The way I understand it, its Executive action, not order. Congress still has to approve the measures. Am I wrong??

Congress doesn't have to do anything. The Executive has ordered executive agencies under his control to take certain actions that they have authority to take based on existing legislative guidance.

Looks like I am right and this entire thread is a waste of bandwidth.

President Barack Obama made news heading into in his second term by issuing nearly two dozen executive actions designed to prevent gun violence in the United States, one of his primary agenda items. Many of the media reports mistakenly described the policy proposals as official executive orders, legally binding directives from the president to federal administrative agencies.


But the 23 executive actions – ranging from universal background checks on anyone trying to buy guns, restoring a ban on military-style assault weapons, and cracking down on straw purchases of guns by people whose intention is to resell them to criminals – carried none of the weight executive orders carry.

So why is that? What are executive actions and how do they compare to executive orders?

Executive Actions Versus Executive Orders

Executive actions are any informal proposals or moves by the president. The term executive action itself is vague and can be used to describe almost anything the president calls on Congress or his administration to do.

But most executive actions carry no legal weight. Those that do actually set policy can be invalidated by the courts or undone by legislation passed by Congress.

The terms executive action and executive order are not interchangeable. Executive orders are legally binding and published in the Federal Register, though they also can be reversed by the courts and Congress.

A good way to think of executive actions is a wish list of policies the president would like to see enacted.

Presidents favor the use of nonbinding executive actions when the issue is controversial or sensitive. For example, Obama carefully weighed his use of executive actions on gun violence and decided against issuing legal mandates via executive orders, which would have gone against the legislative intent of Congress and risked enraging lawmakers of both parties.

Not sure how you're arriving at that conclusion, but ok.

The end result, action or order, is no new rules...
