Wonder if the football could be considered a firearm if he manages to becomes president again

Now that’s a good question

As the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Services (and various assorted LEOs), he would theoretically be in charge of more "guns" than any other person alive. How, as a felon, is it not OK for him to personally possess a firearm, but perfectly lawfully command what people do with guns? This is some wild shit happening, and I'm 100% not here for it.

Government: you are proven to make terrible decisions, therefore you may not possess a firearm

Also government: I mean, not officially, but pretty much you can decide to invade a country without any oversight and kill/depose anyone you want, which is fine
