Here is a list provided by the White House of the 23 executive actions President Obama plans to take to reduce gun violence in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., massacre:

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.
5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.
6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.
7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).
9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.
10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.
11. Nominate an ATF director.
12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.
13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.
14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.
15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.
20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.
21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.
22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.

Voted for and accepted by Democrats then continued and expanded on by their POTUS.

Yeah, "conservatives" had nothing to do with it. My bad.

Right, Dems didn't either. Worthy discussion, thanks for contributing.

Also, care to point me towards anything on the Federal level, that any of those people you mention has done or have said, that would end the second amendment? I haven't heard anything about repealing it. I'm sure that for such hyperbolic statements such as "dedicated gun-haters" and "bathing itself in blood", there would be ample amounts of evidence that Obama wants to repeal the second amendment.

To most rational Americans, 20 dead kids isn't a "isolated incident" and your attempts to downplay the reality of what happened are disturbing.

We regulate the First amendment, you can't yell "fire" in a theater, you can't slander, we have free speech zones.

We regulate the fourth amendment. DUI checkpoints, the BS with TSA, the War on Drugs, and on and on.

Regulating the second amendment to stay current with the technology and ability of new guns does not equal taking away your guns. And as a gun owner myself, I think you guys are doing more damage than good by freaking out over common sense ideas.

/oh, I am sure your not brainwashed. Nothing in your tone or language would lead me to believe that you can only parrot conservative talking points.

Well, gee whiz, dumbass, a spike in gun sales after every one of these isolated, YES THEY REALLY ARE ISOLATED, incidents just might, MIGHT, be a result of highly-placed powerful government officials screaming in front of any camera they can find about banning guns. Maybe. It's possible.

There were eight of these mass shootings last year. Death toll combined - 69. This country has over 313,000,000 people. That is most definitely isolated. If there were only 69 cancer deaths in a year, or drunk driving fatalities, people would rejoice. Wake up and smell your media-generated fear, sheep. "Rational American" my ass. Rational Americans don't panic because they're programmed to do so by the media.

And yes, the liberal news media does bathe in victims blood. If it bleeds it leads. These incidents boost their ratings, thereby boosting their revenue, and also allow them to trumpet their anti-gun agenda nonstop while clowns like you gobble it up. I'll bet Piers Morgan high-fived his producer and then jerked-off in the nearest bathroom the minute he heard about Sandy Hook.

And I'm brainwashed only by common sense. And at this point, the only things I'm parroting are those I've already said over and over.

I think you should turn in your gun immediately, though. It'll make you and everybody else safer to get it off the street, right?

[R8ers]

Just like El Rushbo said, These gun ideas are not the result of the Sandy Hook tragedy, they are a compilation of many many years of tweaking by the liberals to pull out at the appropriate time.

They think that time is now....

If you are not a member of the NRA... Join

You should probably talk to a cop in a school about that.

No, but you can bet your ass that the Dems will be in an all-out war to gain the House.


If that happens, gun owners are ****ed.

This forum is not representative of nothing but the extreme right of politics. This forum only knows extremism bordering on anarchism.

A pr photo op = Hitler and killing 6,000,000 Jews. It's the same thing. An appropriate comparison. It's the equal in history according to this board. Well at least no one but me and you spoke up against the comparison.

I try, but it is nearly impossible to keep up with all of the completely batshit insane lunacy on here. Some of these people are gullible and believe every easily disprovable chain e-mail and made-up web posting. And some people I think truly have diagnosable mental disorders.

A little anarchy now and then is good for even the wisest man.

True. The Hitler thing was over the top. How about this one instead:

While that may be partially true it is incomplete at best. It also knows extreme left wing partisanship that never questions the moron in chief. The term sheeple has made a huge comeback since Bush left office.

That is your imagination. I'm accused of that simply because I believe Adam Lanza, acting alone, killed those kids at Sandy Hook and it wasn't a part of a gov't plot to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

I'm not sure what you just said there but yeah, you're a sheeple.

Humor us. Cite an example of something that Obama has done that was popular with the left, but with which you disagreed.

I don't think this shooting is the primary reason you're accused of being a left wing nutbag.
