but political risks are far too dangerous, even for an EO such as federal UBCs.
That's not even possible to do as an executive order. Executive orders can't create law.

The closest thing that could be done through EO would be something like defining a certain number of dollar figure of private gun sales to be "in the business of" selling firearms and therefore require an FFL. That would be possible because an EO just directs the executive offices to interpret or enforce an existing law a certain way, not create new ones.

Has there been an NRA fundraising drive over the past 20-30 years that wasn't based primarily on fear?

Fear marketing has never worked on me. I had a purchase plan for ammunition long before the Obama nonsense hit and then again before this latest round hit.

dakota.potts: True, I had forgotten that an EO can't create law.

Thanks for the reminder.

I feel discriminated against. I cannot remember ever getting any gun or gun accessory snail mail, or in fact, no email either. But I sure won't complain since I get plenty of car warranty offers, VA refinance offers, hearing aid offers, medicare offers, home warranty offers, but not enough pizza coupons.

Only thing is the NRA scare mails for more money.

Resellers lying in an effort to sell goods and services is nothing new, of course.

Tires of it, yes, as it contributes to the gun and ammo shortage.
