Obama is threatening to use the power of Executive Orders to bypass Congress and force the passing of bills that will restrict gun ownership and usage. Regardless of whether gun control would be an improvement for the country, the power of Executive Orders is intended for national emergencies and times of war. Infringement on the right to bear arms laid out in the 2nd Amendment is not an urgent enough issue to warrant using an Executive Order and any change to the Bill of Rights is an issue that should be handled in a DEMOCRATIC fashion, not a DICTATORIAL one.
