Ga. Gun Sellers Consider Future In Wake Of Obama Executive Action

The Obama administration is issuing a guidance document on which gun sales require a federal firearms license, and therefore a criminal background check.

“I think (the plan’s) really an attack in the wrong direction”, Matthews said.

But the new controls probably wouldn’t have prevented several of the grisly mass shootings around the country that have led to demands for tighter gun laws, and may affect only a fraction of the nation’s 30,000 annual gun deaths. The owner, Tammy Spellman, said they’re selling double, and in some cases, triple what they normally would. It includes background checks for all buyers, even if it’s through a trust or corporation.

“Pretty soon you won’t be able to get guns”, Republican front-runner Donald Trump said Monday on CNN.

“I think that everybody should play by the same rules”, Smith said.

According to the White House fact sheet on the issue, the president has also directed the departments to review the availability of smart gun technology on a regular basis, and to explore potential ways to further its use and development to more broadly improve gun safety. “But he should have gone through Congress”. “It’s a very small subset of people who aren’t getting help”. “Put them in jail, no parole”.

Theresa O’Rourke of Downers Grove, Illinois, said she hopes Obama’s action will deter illegal transactions that have deadly consequences.

Mr. Obama, like many of us, seems finally to have had enough. Holloway said. “The weapon of choice in Philadelphia is baseball bats”.

Mental Health: Remove barriers that can keep states from reporting and sharing information about people barred from owning guns for mental health reasons, and spend $500 million to increase access to mental health care.

Expanding the definition of who is a gun dealer and who, therefore, can be prosecuted for the crime of transferring a gun without possessing a gun dealer license amounts to an unconstitutional unilateral creation of a crime by the executive branch, concludes Napolitano. The President wants background checks to be more thorough when someone buys a gun online or at gun shows.

You need a license if you repetitively buy and sell firearms with the principal motive of making a profit. It is one of 18 states that require background checks for all handgun sales; it has a seven-day waiting period on purchases and requires a firearms training course.
