Didn't see this posted. My apologies if this is a duplicate.

The first order seeks to close a loophole, which allows felons and others who would be otherwise prohibited from owning firearms to bypass the law by registering their firearms with a trust or corporation. This would exempt them from having to complete a background check. It also forces anyone associated with a trust or corporation to complete a background.
The second order signed by Obama seeks to prohibit military-grade weapons from entering into America by keeping private entities from re-importing guns that the US previously sent to foreign allies. Currently, a law already requires U.S. government approval before these weapons can be re-imported. The White House says that more than 250,000 weapons have been brought back to America since 2005. Under the new executive order this practice will no longer be allowed. The weapons sent to foreign countries will have to remain there.

Obama gives these guns to al-Qaeda, but US citizens are banned from having them.

I don't really think anyone gives a chit what Obama passes by Executive Order .... Just tell the dude to get some of his own drug intervention ... call us in the morning ..
The man is basically brain dead ... He's on whatever the drug cartels have the best to offer... So is Holder ... Boehner is an alcoholic, but Obnama/Holder are major drug addicts.
The US should intervene, and get Obama/Holder forcible Obamacare.... cause those two sure do need it.

Makes me wonder what checks there are against arbitrary tyrannical executive orders.

As usual, Mental Health Screening will have nothing to do with Mental Health. It will have everything to do with identifying those that are not completely obedient. He who sets the standards of what is considered to be Mentally Unhealthy will have more power than the President of a Small Country.

As long as you trust government employees, you should be fine.
this same pattern of mistrust, suspiciousness, feeling that the attorneys are not doing their job, that [they] are incompetent and are — do not have his best interests in mind have been repeated not just once, not just twice, but on multiple occasions. So they kind of reinforce the idea that [BDTF] has some serious psychiatric difficulties.

Any member of the House or Senate can challenge them, but they have 30 days to do so.

Executive Orders are intended to Order the Employees of Executive Agencies on ways to execute the laws as set forth by Congress. For example it is perfectly legal for the President to issue an Executive Order that all federal employees use number 2 pencils to do their jobs. It would be illegal for that Order to be applied to all citizens.

They already were blocking the import of surplus US guns.

When machineguns are outlawed, only outlaws will 3D-print DIAS.

When you are prohibited from buying a gun, just go to Craigs List. Thats what all real criminals do!

Exactly. The only way they reach out beyond the Executive Branch is if they are made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress.
