Not to mention the pressure brought to bear by the NRA, and other 2A lobbying groups. BHO was stymied with any gun control legislation, and without a huge Democratic swing in Congress, I doubt she will be any more successful.
This is just one more illustration of how critical this election will be, not only at the Executive level, but every election in the Senate and the House.
What OldGringo said. There's another problem........ whether or not the senate and house would have veto-proof majorities on any gun control issue which would seek to override a Clinton EO. The fact is that probably neither chamber of Congress has such a veto-proof majority, nor would they have enough votes in either chamber to impeach, and convict her of a constitutional malfeasance in regard to the 2nd Amendment.Oldgringo wrote:Much to my dismay, the so-called Republican majority has shown itself to be no more than a congress of eunuchs when dealing with the current POTUS' schemes. I would like to live long enough to see a constitutional amendment establishing TERM LIMITS for congress and federal judges.
Term limits are badly needed.
