By now we've all heard about the executive orders. What's chilling to me is how many applaud his actions but if a republican did it on abortion, the tolerant left would be up in arms.
I'm going to blunt. Criminals don't follow the law. When someone wants to get a gun to hurt someone, they aren't going to Cabelas. They'll steal it, which is also illegal.
Laws don't stop someone from doing something, they only punish you after the incident.
We have checks and balances for a reason.
No one legally purchases a firearm because they want too shoot people. We purchase it because we know there are people out there who are very naughty people. Those bad people want to break into your home or mug you.
You can and should have the right to protect yourself.
But the executive order part is also gravely troubling. A president is not a king, and this action should worry people. It's a slippery slope.
