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.

Agreed. Nothing like what I imagined he would do.
Given the left-wing bias of the APA, it won't be long until everybody is diagnosed with some type of unprovable impairment that would exclude them for lawfully possessing a firearm.
That's the one on the list that concerns me most. Very broad and lacking definition.
That’s the most nefarious of all of them. When your doctor asks you tell them NO. It’s NONE of their business!
This one, in particular, sounds ominous.
Is that the theme from "Jaws" I hear in the background?
Yes. That is the one I was thinking of when I posted my comments. Number 2 is actually about Hipaa, but related.
And his clarification regarding 16 is wrong. Nice try Osama.
Personally, I think the NRA should work to make guns safe, legal, and rare.
“Let’s see, he says rights are denied to those killed by gun violence.”
How about the rights denied to babies that survive abortion? He is all for letting them die unattended!
There is no way Diane’s bill will pass in it’s current form if at all.
Massive increase in centralized control and oversight.
He will ask your children about your guns
9 and 10 should be applied to Fast and Furious
There were three completely irrelevant references to the ACA in the bullet points.
That’s the one on the list that concerns me most. Very broad and lacking definition.
Thw whole thing is. It’s like a campaign speech. It’s pointless.
That clause in the Affordable Care Act does not prevent Drs. from asking. It prevents Drs. and Insurance entities from creating a database with the answers and using such data to deny coverage or increase premiums. They can ask all they want. See EO #16.
“This is the one that should scare everyone:
13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.”
Yep, nice and vague and open to interpretation. That statement will be used for a lot of civil rights violations.
Republicans still control the House, right? They have oversight over agencies and their funding, right?
“If a doctor asked me that question, I wouldn’t answer and would never visit that doctor again.”
That question was on a form I completed at a new doctor I was going to about two years ago. I answered the question with another question: “Why the hell am I being asked this question to begin with? What does this have to do with my health care?” I’m sure it was duly submitted to the proper DHS intel gathering center.
Prepare to be labeled "crazy" and / or put on a terrorist watch list....Then disarmed.
Obama is evil, he's feminine, he's a marxist, BUT HE IS NOT DUMB.
He's done exactly what we were worried about and folks aren't seing it !
How about rolling back 50 years of liberalism that has convinced people that there is no right and no wrong?
How about rolling back the abortion culture that teaches people that human life is worthless?
How about getting guns out of the hands of violent criminals?
