    Why can’t Joe Biden write an executive order banning the sale and ownership of semi-automatic and automatic weapons?

    • Most guns are "semi-automatic"MondoMorphic
    • Because it doesnt work like that, for anything, but especially a tenet of our constitution.monospaced
    • Are you saying that executive orders have not been signed?nb
    • Automatic weapons aren't really for sale* and haven't been output as public retail since 1986 - you'll pay $15-20k if you can find one.PonyBoy
    • *You can purchase one if you have a special Federal Firearms License... not easy to get but if you do you can buy a 'new' custom automatic for min. $2k.PonyBoy
    • like Mondo said - most other guns on the market are semi-auto... 1 pull = 1 bullet... pull again for the next round w/out reloading / cocking = semi-autoPonyBoy
    • As far as constitutional amendments go - amending the constitution requires a 2/3 vote in both the House and Senate, and also ratification by 3/4 of the States.PonyBoy
    • I do not, never have nor prob ever will own a gun outside of my CO2 gun which I've had since '93. I know the other nonsense due to cops being in my family.PonyBoy
    • If it were as easy as just signing an order to change a major regulation nationwide permanently, it would have been done. Our system simply doesn’t allow thatmonospaced
    • Democrats have an excuse for everything! https://en.m.wikiped…nb
