This Executive Order locks-up the assets and freezes the operations of Russian arms dealers, which could well stop the importation of Russian guns, firearms components, and ammunition.

Unless I am seriously mistaken that is creating law. To bad no one who has any of the resources to do so is going to file the sedition charges as that is blatant act of over reach by the executive branch. Impeachment is not required before charges are filed which is sad that no one has (At least no one that made it to a media outlet, though with good reason breathing is enjoyable) filed as that would force some very interesting sections of law to come into force. -Michael
