“An executive order is the most formal of the three executive actions a president can take under Article II of the Constitution,” said Doug Gansler, former attorney general of Maryland.
The second type is an executive memorandum: “For instance, President Obama directing new relations with Cuba,” Gansler said.
And, the third type of executive action is a proclamation, said Gansler, pointing to President Ronald Reagan’s proclamation of National Catfish Day, in 1987.
Gansler said the president is not allowed to create a new law with an executive order — making new laws is the job of Congress.
“An executive order is an official statement and legally binding mandate from the president, about how the federal agencies he oversees are to use their resources,” Gansler said. Executive Orders 101: What are they? And can they be challenged? - WTOP News
Only part of the US population is too stupid to realize that banning "assault weapons" solves NOTHING. But gives the Democrats an emotional hot button issue they can crow about.Biden making noise about banning guns with an EO, but we in this country seem too stupid to know that it would not effect the population, because a President can not change law on his own, and certainly can't change the Constitution...

a bump stock is not a weapon and is not addressed in the constitution.Trump banned Bump stocks with an EO.
a bump stock is not a weapon and is not addressed in the constitution.
That's what I am saying, it can't....Well, to be clear it can be banned for those who work under the Executive branch, but if you're talking about enforcing as law, the President can't make law.If one aspect of a gun can be banned by EO why can't other aspects?

No Executive Order can validly and Constitutionally have the force of law if it isn’t first authorized by an Act of Congress which got approved.
What Law (already on the books) authorizes any President to craft an executive fiat about the banning of guns?
So, in your eyes the President can make law?
You actually said something I agree with.It's irrelevant what I think. I think we should ban EO's outright. What's important is what the Supreme Court thinks.
The Supreme Court is saying a president can ban aspects of a gun with an EO. Do you understand the ramifications of that?

As far as the SC goes, no one elected them either. Congress makes law, not either one of the afore mentioned.
