All the executives orders sound like a great plan to me, although I have yet to read the actual text. As for his urging on what congress should do, we all already knew that was the way he felt. All in all, I am extremely happy with the outcome, but I'm sure that will **** some of you off. Good thing I don't care.

I've followed the gun issues in Chicago for awhile simply because I'm not going to a Sox game when people are trying to set a new high score around when I want to go. The majority of what I've seen (as far as gun crime) has been revolving around gang infested areas. I do understand what you're saying and I agree but as far as the trying to rack up high scores, it hasn't changed anything.
The EO's, from the list above: Copied for your convenience.
The following is a list, provided by the White House, of executive actions President Obama plans to take to address gun violence.
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.
Honestly, my opinion....I'm rather happy with a large number of them. I agree schools need more research officers, I agree that our healthcare system could use some tweaking, I'm fine with gun companies researching innovative new safety technologies, more law enforcement officials and training will be good....a lot of good things, I think, in the EO's.
Now, the items going to Congress, I'm not so hot on. But at least they are going to Congress, and not being done by EO.

EDIT: I was too slow
Honestly I think that its not been nearly as bad as most people anticipated....in fact, I don't see one thing in the Executive Orders that I disagree with, besides the background check requirements, and maybe something shady behind the "information sharing" referenced. Less info the gooberment has the better, as far as I'm concerned.
And honestly....yes, I can see the background check changes having a bit of an impact on people who shouldn't have guns getting them. It still won't stop two criminals from exchanging guns between them, but it could stop a law-abiding citizen from inadvertently selling to someone who they don't know is a criminal.
I can see the benefits of that one, although I still wish it wasn't implemented.

They mention the gang violence finally. It was hardly ever spoke of before, never let a good crisis go to waste.
obama is a traitorous ******* demeaning and degrading the Constitution he swore to uphold.

Total common sense and reality. Deal with it.
When this stuff doesn't stop another nutcase from shooting up a bunch of people.......................what are they going to do next?
Step 1 was to appear to play nice.
It aint over, it's just getting started.
He and his ilk have a lot more waiting to "suggest".

When he talked about protecting the most helpless among us ... I thought he was talking about the unborn. Silly me.

I wouldn't laugh too hard. The magazine and semi-auto ban could still be trouble if brought to a vote.
How will your Congressmen vote? Have you encouraged them to vote our way?
Hahahahaha! This is what everybody has been so up in arms about? running around like Chicken Little! Hahahahaha. I hope you feel really really stupid now.
Well that was unnecessary. Thanks for your opinion.
And as Steelman said, now is a great time to contact your congressmen. Everybody on INGO should do that; you have NO reason not to!
