The utility of the President's EA is that it forces RKBA advocates to make contradictory claims, i.e. "the President is trampling out rights" versus "The President didn't do anything of substance."

So, once the contradictory nature of these claims is exposed it will supposedly undermine RKBA advocates, thus costing them public support.

And once that support has been eroded then gun control extremists can do what? Not petition for rights-trampling legislation?

It seems the issue isn't so much RKBA contradiction so much as it is gun control extremists' duplicity and bad faith debating tactics (born of having decisively lost the political argument).
