Also, the executive power that Obama used to ban importation of firearms from Russia is only valid for the current crisis, once things resolve and we resume trade with Russia the ban will be lifted, remember that executive orders are not technically laws and they automatically expire as soon as the reason for issuing said order is resolved, it can't really turn into a permanent ban without going through normal channels.

None of that is true.
It will remain in effect until Obama or a subsequent president countermands it. It may also be possible to pass a law that invalidates it. Clinton's similar ban on the import of Chinese arms & ammo is still going strong a quarter of a century later--it was imposed in 1994.
