Obama to announce new executive action on guns

CNN)President Barack Obama is expected to announce in the coming days a new executive action with the goal of expanding background checks on gun sales, people familiar with White House planning said.

Described as "imminent," the set of executive actions would fulfill a promise by the President to take further unilateral steps the White House says could help curb gun deaths.

Plans for the action are not yet complete, and those familiar with the process warn that unforeseen circumstances could delay an announcement. But gun control advocates are expecting the new actions to be revealed next week, ahead of Obama's annual State of the Union address, set for January 12.

The White House wouldn't comment directly on the exact timing or content of Obama's executive orders. White House spokesman Eric Schultz said that the President expected a set of recommendations on unilateral action to arrive at the beginning of the year.

He said Obama was "expressing urgency" for a list of steps he can take on his own after high-profile incidents of gun violence at the end of this year.

"It is complicated. That's why it's taken some time for our policy folks, our lawyers, and our expects to work through this and see what's possible," Schultz said.

Gun control advocates and White House officials say the focus remains on the so-called "gun show loophole," which allows certain sellers of guns -- at gun shows and elsewhere -- to avoid conducting background checks before making sales.

Months after the Newtown, Connecticut elementary school massacre that claimed 26 victims, the then-Democratic majority Senate rejected a similar proposal.

Congress would still need to act in order to make background checks fully universal. But advocates and administration lawyers have struck upon a provision in the law that could allow for Obama to expand the background check requirement to additional sellers.

Federal law currently requires all individuals "engaged in the business" of selling guns to obtain a license and conduct background checks on buyers. But others who only make occasional sales or are selling firearms from a personal collection are exempted from the background check requirement.

Gun control advocates say Obama could take action himself by issuing a regulation that provides expanded guidance on who falls under the "in the business" standard.

One group, the Michael Bloomberg-helmed Everytown for Gun Safety, has provided recommendations to the White House that include creating a test for assessing who must become licensed to continue selling guns. Factors would include volume and speed of sales, and whether or not the seller relies on advertising to sell guns.

The group also recommended Obama define a gun in a "personal collection" as having been in the seller's possession for at least a year.

Before leaving for his winter vacation in Hawaii, Obama met with Bloomberg at the White House to discuss gun control.

Aside from the background check provision, people familiar with Obama's plans say his new gun control announcement will include new funding for government agencies to better enforce existing gun laws.

ODS is a sad form of mental illness.

Jesus! Can't you retards come up with something original, ever?

Just stating the facts and truth, neither of which ever change.

Your bizarre obsession with the president, that everything he does is 'wrong,' and the ridiculous lies you and others on the right contrive about Obama are clearly some form of mental illness, the consequence of blind hyper-partisanism.

Most whining about 'Obama' don't even know the facts of the proposed EO.

For example, background checks would apply only to those who sell 50 or more firearms per year, having no effect whatsoever on gun owners who engage in less frequent private intrastate sales.

If issued, the EO will afford authorities an enforcement mechanism consistent with existing law, in no way creating 'new law' or 'amending' existing law.

Last, comprehensive background checks are Constitutional, as Colorado's measure requiring such checks was upheld in Federal court in June of 2014.

But don't let facts and the truth stand in the way of your inane, childish attacks.

Background checks are a minor inconvenience

Obama sure knows how to stir up the straw purchasers at USMB. The gun goons might have to find real jobs instead of selling guns to criminals.

Former Congressman On Obama’s Gun Action: ‘It’s War. Defy’ Him

the NRA previously said Obama’s “gun control agenda was rejected by Congress. Now, he is doing what he always does when he doesn’t get his way, defying the will of the people and using executive action.”

The Obama administration’s “imminent” announcement comes ahead of the January 12th State of the Union address. Obama’s executive actions would further his unilateral steps of gun control. (RELATED: Obama’s Gun Control Measures Won’t Solve Anything)

CNN reports that White House spokesman Eric Schultz declined to comment on the timing or the content but said that Obama expected a set of recommendations on “unilateral action” to arrive on his desk at the beginning of 2016.

“It is complicated,” Schultz said. “That’s why it’s taken some time for our policy folks, our lawyers, and our expects to work through this and see what’s possible.” (RELATED: Obama Calls Gun Control ‘A Matter Of National Security’ [VIDEO])

While the National Rifle Association declined comment to CNN on the Obama administration’s latest unilateral action on gun control, the NRA previously said Obama’s “gun control agenda was rejected by Congress. Now, he is doing what he always does when he doesn’t get his way, defying the will of the people and using executive action.”

Not only is that a lie, it is 180 degrees opposite to the real world.

Most criminals are Dhimmicrats, not GOP.

Already illegal to do such. What new law will stop them from doing it, if they are?

Why are you opposed to more background checks?
