Re: “Those are a lot of obstacles in the way of anything getting signed, which should give all concerned some counsel.”
No, it's NOT a lot of obstacles. Obama could have banned semi-automatic weapons in 2010 through the mechanism you so casually describe and support. He could have even described his action as bipartisan with the help of just one or two RINO allies.

What we're talking about is a clear violation of one of our Constitutional rights. It's not supposed to be permissible except by first amending the Constitution. This occurs at the State level, not through Federal overreach. I am frankly shocked that you're okay with weakening our rights through unConstitutional action.

Gun rights protect our country from enemies both foreign and domestic. Without them, odds are good that all of our rights would go away. They are the citizens' only and last defense against tyranny.

"Assault weapons" have no definition.

Assault weapon
In the United States, assault weapon is a controversial term used to define firearms with specified characteristics. The definition varies among regulating jurisdictions, but usually includes semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine, a pistol grip, and sometimes other features, such as a vertical forward grip, flash suppressor, or barrel shroud.Wikipedia

Huh. Live and learn.

That admitted, which RFK Jr. probably already knew, his response made good sense in the context where it was raised: (1) 2nd Amendment rules; stop trying to subvert it (2) IF Dems + Repubs unite to pass legislation to restrict 'assault weapons' he will sign it. Those are a lot of obstacles in the way of anything getting signed, which should give all concerned some counsel.
