I had to listen to my dad going nuts because of what the President said in the State of the Union last night. He was making some pretty far out claims about him being a dictator and stuff, I just tuned him out. But then I saw some stuff on Facebook saying similar things so I wanted to get an idea about what kind of things can he do by executive order that would affect our right to own guns?

I kind of thought that they already did about everything they could, and that if an anti-gun politician tried to do much more to violate the 2nd Amendment the Supreme Court would stop them right away.

Am I wrong?

I guess I'm asking what are they trying to do by Executive order, and how likely is it that they'll be declared constitutional?
