The gun lobby already detests Biden. The lobbyists detest even more any effort to enact legislative remedies to gun violence, contending that the Second Amendment is sacrosanct and cannot be monkeyed with in any form or fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, nimrods such as 13th Texas Congressional District Rep. Ronny Jackson, tweet things like this: <em>It\u2019s your Constitutional RIGHT to own a firearm! We can\u2019t allow Democrats to take that away!\u00a0<\/em>No one is talking about taking guns away from those who won&#8217;t use &#8217;em to kill other human beings.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, general public opinion happens to be on the president&#8217;s side. Most Americans favor some stricter rules while also supporting the Constitution&#8217;s Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>Is this executive action legal? My gut tells me that a president with extensive legislative and federal executive government experience already has done his homework. He knows the lines he cannot cross.
