FACT SHEET: Get Full Details on Obama’s Plan

It’s important to note that not each one is actually an executive order or presidential memorandum.

The Office of the Press Secretary sent out the following list of all 23 executive actions.

Today, the President is announcing that he and the Administration will:

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

Tweet#9 is the only one on here thats worth a damn. #16 wouldnt matter if it wasnt for #17, but bc of #17 #16 now SUCKS!

i love some of the stupid shit our guvment officials put out there. look at #15, our guvment is going to "challenege" the private sector. the private sector will utilize new technologies for new developments if theres a market for it, not bc the guvment is "challening" them to do it. lol, and how is that going to assist with preventing gun violence? what, is the next kid who feels like shooting up a public place going to stumble with his weapon "oh shit, these new safety features has me all ****ed up, and now i cant kill a bunch of people before they run off in a scatter." i feel like the president just through that one in there.

Tweetlastly if you google this topic, you'll find most media outlets have this topic listed as "executive order" as opposed to executive action, and heres the funny part about this, #1 is noted as a "presidential memorandum," a presidential memorandum is not the same as an executive order, in fact it holds less weight than a executive order. most people dont know that, and if you did then you would be saying to yourself all confused like "i thought this was an executive order?"

Actually #16 on its own is not good, but with 17 it is definitely worse. The intent I believe for 16 is to get doctors to report patients that they believe shouldn't have a gun. Also, a lot of this is being tied to the healthcare system I believe because of Cass Sunstein. That guy is a dangerous man with a lot of power and the ear of the president. A few years ago he wrote about how he could use the healthcare system to ban guns by making the Affordable Care Act not insure gun owners, or something along those lines. Basically, if you needed government insurance and you owned a weapon you would not be covered. I admit I thought he signed 23 Executive Orders but I hadn't had the time to read up on them the last couple days since they were released. Still, it's not good regardless of what type of executive action or order they are. He will try everything to force a vote in favor of a ban on assault rifles and probably high capacity magazines too. Remember how he passed the healthcare act unconstitutionally by having a 51 to 49 majority instead of 60. I can see him trying the same thing here. I'd say we are going to have quite a show to watch and a lot of corruption going on to force it down our throats.
