Obama Considering Executive Order Mandating Gun Background Checks
Capitalizing on the October 1 shootings at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, that resulted in the deaths of 10 people, President Obama has tasked his aides with exploring how he can circumventing Congress by using his executive authority to impose new background-check requirements for buyers who purchase weapons from so-called high-volume gun dealers.
Obama said he has asked his team “to scrub what kinds of authorities do we have to enforce the laws that we have in place more effectively to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.”
One senior administration official quoted by the Washington Post said: “We are hopeful we can find a way to [impose background check regulations by executive authority].” The official noted that administration lawyers were still working through details to ensure that the rule could pass legal muster. “It’s a lot more clear today than it was a year ago how to work this out.”

The end result is ALWAYS the same.
