Under the National Emergencies Act, when tasked with a pressing matter a president may declare a national emergency in order to activate certain statutory powers the Congress has authorized that would otherwise be unavailable to him. In this instance, President Trump has cited the power provided by 10 U.S.C. 2808, which permits the executive branch to undertake military construction projects in the event of a declared national emergency, in order to shift funds to the construction of a border wall.
There is no analogous statute that would authorize the executive branch to enact long-rejected gun control policies following the declaration of a national emergency. |

Pelosi's an idiot, and so are all the other Democrats in government.
AAMOF, Democrat voters are idiots as well, or we wouldn't HAVE Democrats in government. |

I didn't think demorats required an "emergency" declaration to ban or confiscate guns. I thought it was their standard platform.

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
