By the authority vested in me as President of the United States, by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to establish domestic tranquility, leading to world peace and food chain harmony, it is hereby ordered:

There shall be a moratorium on the manufacture of all hand guns for sale in United States. There shall be a moratorium on the importation, for domestic sale, of all hand guns, for two years, at which time this lethal weapon issue shall be revisited by the President and the Congress.

This Executive Order takes effect six months from the date this Executive Order is signed by the president.

Licensed gun dealers will therefore have six months from the date of this Executive Order to draw down their inventories of all hand guns, and eliminate hand guns from their stock in trade.

The registration of any existing hand gun shall be considered a voluntary act on the part any hand gun owner. Hand guns may not be sold between private parties during the moratorium, without the hand gun for sale having first been registered by the current current hand gun owner.

Commentary

As it is written in The Television Scripture The Book ov Lev It A Kiss
"Yer liv in in town
Hang up yer hole stir"

As President of United States I will furthermore initiate a nationwide weapon buy back program with "no questions asked" relative to how the current city dwelling gun owner came into possession of their hand gun.

There will be initiated an additional benefit for the person turning in a loose hand gun, under this Executive Order. That person turning in the hand gun will be given the option to receive, in addition to cash for the gun, a special ID card, issued by the President, with a registered personal ID number, and included on the card, the President's cell phone number beneath the scratch off.

In the event any former gun owner / ID card holder is ever stopped by the police for a traffic violation, or any non-violent infraction of the law, the card holder has the option to present his issued-by-the-president ID card to the arresting officer, before the arrest is consummated. The policeman then has the opportunity to cut the law abiding citizen some slack, or answer on the telephone to the President, why not, at the station house, before the booking.

This buy back future benefit program is an element of The Lev Deal. The president is obligated to protect the rights of the citizenry. Turning in a stolen gun is a good turn. It's one less unknown weapon for the police to worry about. In my book, one good turn deserves another, including an illegal left hand turn.

Hand guns are part of the American heritage. But as long as hand guns are an element of our gross national product, there will always be too many guns around. When an otherwize reputable gun dealer knowingly sells a hand gun to a party, obviously fronting for someone else, there is a strong likelihood the gun dealer needs that questionable sale to pay his mortgage, etc.

Any person using a gun in the commission of a crime will be liable to receive a sentence of ten years to life no parole in Trenchland, with people ready to cold kill with their bare hands.

Regardless how many restrictve laws we have, on the books, impeding the constitutional rights of the citizenry to keep and bear arms, the criminal is always able to obtain a weapon, either in the streets, or through the international black market.

Our gun laws are not keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.

Therefore, excluding the Brady Bill, all the rest of our federal gun control laws shall be revisited. Many of these restrictive regulations will be and should be recinded, by Executive Order, as they have miserably failed in their intent.
