First of all, even David Hogg called bullshit on this. I mean, I know that Hogg would like to see this executive order effectively become national law by overturning the Second Amendment. But, at least he gets that the "public health emergency" justification is bullshit.

Also, all of us radical, right-wing, conspiracy theorists who you were making fun of for raising the concerns that the constitutional abridgments during the pandemic could be abused by the executive branch? We were right. I'll be waiting for your apologies.

All this will hurt is good people.

I guess she figures that she'll rid herself of the potential of any "good guy with a gun" stories -- well, at lest "law-abiding citizens with a gun" stories -- for a month.

It doesn't appear that prison or jail time will be faced for breaking the order -- just a hefty fine. So, people who carry for self-defense and get caught while committing no other crime will be on the hook for months of money (assuming they're also not rich). By contrast, anybody caught committing a murder or an armed robbery is likely to have this charge dropped.

It should surprise no one that she had the gall to say that she doesn't think either our constitutional rights, nor her oath of office, are absolute.
