If this bozo gets re-elected, he can accomplish much of what he wants for further gun-control (and if you doubt his record as a rabid anti-gunner, do some research) through executive order, gov't agency fiat, and regulations/policies.

There seems to be some confusion on exactly what can be done via executive order. It is not a legislative tool. Though the exact parameters have never been strictly defined, the Supreme Court has ruled a few unconstitutional for over-reaching.
I have no clue what "agency fiat" might mean.
In terms of regulations, it also seems unlikely. OSHA tried to get ammunition, primers, and powder defined as "explosives" back in 2007. The public was alerted to the measure almost immediately, and the backlash was enough to make them reconsider. Love it or hate it, the internet ensures that the government can't just sneak stuff in through the back door like they used to.
I can't help wonder what good all this energy and vitriol would do if it were focused on something more constructive.
