What’s the source for this list? And why are you suspended or banned?
Who are you going to believe?
Your own lying eyes or King O'Dumbo's self-serving declaration?
Certainly such an important matter will require another 23 Czars!
I get it now. He’s proposing that congress pass a law banning clips that hold over 10 rounds. It’s not part of his “executive action”.
Add # 24.............
Renew Fast and Furious Gun Running into Mexico where hundreds of Mexican children will be murdered. The hypocrisy is deafening.
Add #24
Develop a class system where federal politicians children are better than ordinary children,and deserving of armed gurads at school.
Political dissidents need not apply for a permit. You are criminals of the state who rally against your own "good". Swallow your Obamacare like a good child.
This is all a smokescreen. LOCK UP THE CRIMINALLY INSANE AND STOP TRYING TO PUSH THEM INTO NORMAL SOCIETY.
The pills don't work. Saying they "pass" for normal is just looking the other way to a potential ticking timebomb. They can kill with poison, planes, cars, knives, bombs, etc. Not just guns. Quit being stupid, America.

Obama blinked.
We don't have all the facts yet. You don't spend 1/2 Billion on a Nothing Burger.
So much for cutting the Federal budget. More government makework jobs.
The emphasis on mental health sounds good. (All the shooters were whacked out on psychotropics.)
I think they intend to start using the health care system to classify gun owners as having a mental problems.
14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.Stop. I'll save you the time, effort, and our money.
Hilarious!!!!! If we accept the irrefutable premise that the categories of 'dangerous people' include people who direct straw purchases of thousands of semiautomatic 'assault' rifles and cause them to be delivered to Mexican drug cartels, does the lying, cowardly AG Holder have a slight conflict of interest???? Oddly, in all of these 23 executive actions, nowhere appear such terms as gunrunning and straw purchases. Just for openers, how many FEDERAL laws did Holder violate or direct others to violate, in the course of his management and control of the F&F operations? How many of Holder's violations were felonious, leaving aside his totally disgusting and as yet unpunished lies to Congress.
Like prosecuting those in the White Hut who LIED to Congress about their involvement in the gun running operation known as Fast and Furious that armed narcoterrorists and led to the deaths of thousands?
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.
If this means what I think it means, it requires legislation to get around privacy laws.
3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.
That sounds like spending our tax dollars. Perhaps the druggie in our White House should ask Congress first.
11. Nominate an ATF director.
I missed that! Our Dear Leader didn't even fill that position?
12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.
I think he means ask Congress for the money he plans to waste on ineffective training.
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.
Go ahead, but most responsible gun owners don't want to make it harder to use their firearms. i will not pay extra for a less effective weapon.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.
Let me clarify this. Doctors are limited on what they may ask my children. Those who cross inappropriate boundaries will be fired.
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
Spending even more of our money without Congressional approval? He sure likes being dictator; too bad the Constitution is inconveniencing him.
While the devil is in the details, the only thing that makes me uncomfortable is all the doctor/mental health stuff.
First, I believe that those with mental health problems that could be potential violent or unstable should possibly under the right conditions be more easily involuntarily committed and prevented from having firearms while committed.
On the other hand, I have seen abuse of committing people as insane in both the USA and Russia/USSR. My concern is that somehow in the details a doctor may be required to ask a patient if they have a firearm and if the answer is yes, they be required to ask a whole bunch of questions to see if the person can be labeled as paranoid, delusional, or some other “classification” that will be noted on their health insurance record, become part of the federal firearms background check database, and be flagged to their medical insurance carrier who will basically say that this is a reason to put them into a different category of health insurance and will result in changes in auto insurance, home owners insurance and a host of other financial problems.
Hopefully the Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act (HIPAA) medical information privacy regulations are strong enough to prevent general practitioner speculation on mental health from being widely shared with the government and insurance carriers. What scares me is that health insurance is soon to be an IRS activity.

I am reading between the lines here. The law is focusing on Doctors to mandatory report information on someone health. Medical professionals could effectively risk practice (kicked out of Obamacare system) if prescribe mood altering drugs without asking about guns. If you are on these drugs you are banned from owing weapons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mood-altering_drug
Psychiatric medications are psychoactive drugs prescribed for the management of mental and emotional disorders. There are six major classes of psychiatric medications:
Antidepressants, which are used to treat disparate disorders such as clinical depression, dysthymia, anxiety, eating disorders and borderline personality disorder.[19]
Stimulants, which are used to treat disorders such as attention deficit disorder and narcolepsy and to suppress the appetite.
Antipsychotics, which are used to treat psychotic symptoms, such as those associated with schizophrenia or severe mania.
Mood stabilizers, which are used to treat bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder.
Anxiolytics, which are used to treat anxiety disorders.
Depressants, which are used as hypnotics, sedatives, and anesthetics, depending upon dosage.
In addition, several psychoactive substances are currently employed to treat dependence on other substances. These include acamprosate or naltrexone in the treatment of alcoholism, or methadone or buprenorphine maintenance therapy in the case of opioid dependency.
