So far that did not even cause a whimper from the media and nobody tried to use a national emergency to take guns.

Presidents have done this dozens of times over the years.

Only with Trump is there an uproar from the Democrat politicians, the media, and of course the low-information crowd.

Sure you can keep "1" single chamber rifle per household. The rest can be outlawed legally. Did you forget already that Trump banned bump stocks? Trump set that precedent by signing a EO to ban a piece of gun. The next guy could sign a EO banning the lower receiver of semi automatic rifles or pistols or mags & clips that hold more than 1 bullet. (Why do you think all the gun nutters were outraged about Trump doing that or did Fox news not tell you about it?)

All you Republicans are too busy yelling at people walking on your lawn that you don't watch where you are walking..
