I had been toying with the idea of heading to the range tomorrow morning; this 2A news just in, I am now going for sure to celebrate the Executive Order with a bang. One hundred rounds worth.
The Bill of Rights is just so much 18th century parchment unless and until backed up with Pb. 2A codifies the Pb. 2A does not grant a right to self-defense; it protects a right logically antecedent to governments, a right to defend not only your life and liberty, but also your property, including the property instrumental to the defense of the first two items of the Lockean triad.
Read the EO carefully. Do see where 'impinge' ought to have been 'infringe'? Call me a pedant if you like, but you young people will never fathom the beauty, richness, and versatility of the English language if you don't read good old books, but restrict yourself to social media dreck and the latest printed offerings.
