Biden's Executive Order - Full of Sound and Fury and Signifying Nothing
[LegalInsurrection] President Joe Biden issued an executive order on guns.Lefty websites make you think he’s taking a stance against those assault rifles! Other websites make you think he’s coming from your guns. The executive order literally does nothing. Buried in The New York Post (emphasis mine): Biden’s executive order does not make policy changes but calls on executive agencies to ensure compliance with existing laws, moving the US as close to universal background checks as possible under existing laws without requiring Congress to pass additional legislation. My friend responded, “So it’s the equivalent of shaking his fist and saying, ‘You better do your job!'” Yup. Buried in The Associated Press article: Tuesday’s action does not change U.S. government policy. Rather, it directs federal agencies to ensure compliance with existing laws and procedures — a typical feature of executive orders issued by presidents when they confront the limits of their own power to act without cooperation from Congress. So America will have more background checks by people actually doing what they’re supposed to do. Posted by: Mercutio 2023-03-15 |
