I would not be surprised. It is what he has already said he will do, his base is for it, it will not cost him the support of people who already will never support him and it costs very little to implement EOs. He will likely lose (eventually) in court, but he will be showing that he is taking action whereas most of the other stuff he wants to do will be much tougher to accomplish
The first six months will pretty much show us who the quislings are on our side of the aisle
tbone,
Just my take on it:
The next presidential administration is going to get hammered to conform to the elites' wishes on disarming peasants. Who sits in the hot seat, the amount of push-back the elites get on that, best case scenario is we'll see.
By the way, during the 80's there was gasoline around Houston that you could pour out on the sidewalk and throw all the matches at it you wanted, you couldn't get the stuff to light. But it would still run an engine.
