But is not the second amendment just as much a "core power" of the people?
The second amendment is a close to an absolute unrestricted right as could be put in writing.
There is no wiggle room here. Obama took a very clear oath when he was sworn in. If he attempts to issue an executive order which infringes on ANY element of the right of the people to bear arms he MUST BE IMPEACHED.
If Obama can legally issue executive orders mandating any form of gun control then could he not issue an executive order banning conservative talk radio? How about just issue an executive order which abolishes the NRA. Then issue an executive order which bans Fox News, after all they are clearly not protected by freedom of speech or freedom of the press.
Gun control executive order = MANDATORY IMPEACHMENT
And that's Obama's "happy" outcome.
