#1 Under the proposed rule change, dealers who exceed a certain number of sales each year would be required to obtain a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and perform background checks on potential buyers.

This all happens already. Gun dealers have to go through a stringent process and background checks to obtain dealer's licenses. They are required to perform background checks on buyers.

Unless, of course, you work for the government and are a part of some illegal boondoggle like "Fast and Furious."

#5 The game is two-fold: first, of course, to accomplish the stated goal, whatever it might be. But second, and actually more valuable, to keep angering the conservatives so they can point at them as nothing more than angry simpletons that reasonable, thoughtful, intelligent people should ignore.

#6 Misuse the executive orders so the public thinks poorly of the tactic so that the next Administration (likely Republican) can't use the tactic often or even openly.

Income tax is a form of slavery.
