President Obama’s eagerness to go it alone and bypass the electorate to implement new policy has unfortunately become a hallmark of his presidency. And it has come at great cost. In addition to abandoning the democratic process, this paper reported recently that President Obama’s regulations have an almost $200 billion price tag.

In his last year in office, he doesn’t appear to be taking a break. During the first week of his final year in the White House, President Obama announced that more unilateral actions were coming, this time in the form of unlawful gun control measures that show he has little respect for our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. But importantly, they also won’t solve the problem they purport to fix.
