Obama Considering Executive Orders to Help Control Gun Sales Since Congress

He’s done it before on a number of issues and he’s clearly not afraid to do it again.

There’s been much talk recently – including from President Obama – about there being a substantial correlation between state-level gun death rates and state gun laws.

Under the proposed rule change, dealers who exceed a certain number of sales each year would be required to obtain a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and perform background checks on potential buyers. No. It’s another mentally-ill person who had easy access to guns – he took four into the school – and killed a bunch of innocent young people.

“I do not believe an executive order’s going to solve any problems here”, Louisiana Rep. John Fleming told Sinclair Broadcasting.

Any background system is only as good as the data it utilizes and the individuals involved in recording and checking it; in turn, any law is only as good as those who are supposed to enforce it.

The president has seen increasing gun-related violence over the course of his presidency and has addressed the nation almost a dozen times after domestic mass shootings.

Criminals don’t buy guns at gun shows or at local gun stores. “That’s what gun control does”, Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Friday in an opinion piece for FoxNews.com.

And what to do about the vast segment of American voters, on whose support they depend, who count gun ownership among their inalienable rights not to be touched by government, as a key element in “the pursuit of happiness”?

Regarding the October 2 news article “Massacre stuns another college”: We grieve as yet another senseless mass killing rocks our nation.

According to The Post, Obama met with Attorney Gen. Loretta Lynch to discuss the background check proposal in July after the deadly shootings at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina. Mass murder has become the norm. I have grave reservations about this.

Democrats would use procedural delays to thwart legislation if Republicans refuse to allow votes on the gun proposals, a Democratic aide said Wednesday who wasn’t authorized to discuss the plans publicly and requested anonymity. Show the world that American gun owners are responsible patriots. “And you’re supposed to fire back in a crowded dark theater?” And I didn’t follow through and say, we need – still need to do research.

“Democrats are offering bipartisan solutions that can save lives, and we call on Republicans to join us in this effort”, he said.
