President Trump Readies Pen to Reverse Anti-gun Executive Orders
In one of the first pro-gun actions of his administration, President
Donald Trump is expected to shortly move to revoke Barack Obama’s
illegal actions to effectively outlaw gun collecting.
Obama’s anti-gun “executive action”
was announced on January 6, 2016 — in the wake of Obama’s unsuccessful
attempt to scapegoat law-abiding gun owners for the actions of a Muslim
terrorist in San Bernardino.
Obama’s action was implemented as a “clarification”
because he knew that his lawless moves could never pass muster under
the rule-making procedures of the Administrative Procedures Act.
Under Obama’s now-moribund “clarification,” a gun owner could have been imprisoned for up to five years and fined $250,000 for “only one or two [firearms] transactions,” according to a White House fact sheet.
Note that, under Clinton, tens of thousands of licensees lost their licenses because they didn’t have “brick-or-mortar” stores.
Now,
in a Clinton/Obama Mutt-and-Jeff routine, Obama proposed to imprison
hobbyists who didn’t have licenses because the government refused to
issue licenses to them.
Hence, a hobbyist who bought
a firearm one day and sold it the next day at a profit could go to
prison for five years. Obviously, the intent was to create such a cloud
of ambiguity that gun owners would refrain from constitutionally
protected activity (private firearms sales), for fear that they would run afoul of Obama’s amorphous rules.
Tragically, in some cases, Obama’s unlawful actions had exactly the intended effect.
But,
thanks to President Donald Trump, Obama’s unlawful action will soon be
repealed — as one of the priority actions of the incoming
administration.
Gun Owners of America is optimistic that this is only the first in a series of Trump actions overturning illegal Obama actions.
There is an old joke that goes: “What do you call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? Answer: A good start.”
The work of restoring the Second Amendment to its God-given status has only just begun.
But the important thing is that it has begun.
Sincerely,
Tim Macy
