We have rights, but there are obvious restrictions on these rights. We have freedom of religion here in the US, but doesn't mean that religion can violate US or local laws. We have the right to bear arms, but that does not mean you have the right legally own a mobile missile launcher.

But the executive orders Obama signed yesterday were all pretty mild. It's the legislation that is upcoming that gun owners need to be concerned with. Although I think it will die on the vine before ever getting passed. And the POTUS can't use an executive order to alter a constitutional amendment. It's an impeachable offense.

I think this has little to do with whomever is in the Oval Office at this moment. Twenty little school children were brutally murdered and the public wants our government to do something. During the election they both wanted to avoid the topic of gun control, but even if Romney was in office he would have been forced to do something.
