The president has used his executive powers to bolster the national background check system, jumpstart government research on the causes of gun violence and create a million-dollar ad campaign aimed at safe gun ownership.

The executive steps will give federal law enforcement officials access to more data about guns and their owners, help keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill, and lay the groundwork for future legislative efforts.

How would a national background check system work? It'll just cause more people go buy from individuals and not gun stores and not individuals who want bills of sale.

The POTUS is silly.

Its the "and lay the groundwork for future legislative efforts." that concerns me.

Exactly. Each small step takes them closer to their goal. If we always act like the latest step is insignificant, we'll never stop their progress.

Hmmm....lets see here, by controlling guns or info on guns in legal law biding hands somehow criminals will be affected and there will be less crime? Uhhh....NOT. Joe Biden was right...."NOTHING we’re going to do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that we will bring gun deaths down..."

But, the policies of the Obama administration are much more in line with another "Joe"...

"causes of gun violence" shouldn't it be "CRIMINAL VIOLENCE" OH, wait a minute , that's not politically correct.
