This Is The New Gun Regulation Obama Wants

In the wake of a mass shooting at an Oregon college, President Obama is considering a plan that would require more Americans to undergo background checks when they purchase guns.
The Washington Post reported that Obama intends to go around Congress and use an executive order to mandate background checks for purchasers from “high volume gun dealers.”
“We are hopeful we can find a way to do this,” a source identified as a senior administration official told The Post. “It’s a lot more clear today than it was a year ago how to work this out.”
Details of the plan have not been released because White House lawyers are checking on its legality, although The Post noted that the plan could be similar to a proposal made by former Congresswoman and gun control advocate Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona).
Giffords proposed that all individuals who sell large numbers of guns be required to run background checks on buyers. If the president follows her advice, that could turn any private individual who sells more than a few guns into a high-volume gun dealer required to administer background checks.

An earlier proposal from the White House would have required that gun dealers who sell more than 50 guns a year run background checks, The Post reported.
