Executive orders need to have some foundation in existing law. POTUS cannot use executive orders to create or modify existing laws. For example, the "sporting purpose clause" that gives the AG the ability to regulate the importation of certain weapons can be found in 18 U.S.C. 925 which is a law passes by Congress and signed by POTUS. Where is the language in the NFA that gives the President the authority to extend its provisions to semiauto weapons?

I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
