The use of the word “initial” is important here, because it’s a signal that there are more executive orders on the way, but on Wednesday evening the White House released a list of “actions”, including several executive orders, aimed mostly at legal gun owners and imposing new restrictions on them via executive fiat.
Here’s the list as released by the White House:
The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.” We are experiencing a growing problem: criminals are buying kits containing nearly all of the components and directions for finishing a firearm within as little as 30 minutes and using these firearms to commit crimes. When these firearms turn up at crime scenes, they often cannot be traced by law enforcement due to the lack of a serial number. The Justice Department will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of these firearms.
