When Hillary Clinton rolled out a series of new gun control proposals this week, one of the most newsworthy and controversial ideas she put forth was a vow to use executive action as president to fix the background check system if Congress refused to act.
But the Obama administration has already taken a long, internal look at the same executive-action proposal Clinton has promised to undertake, and has doubts over whether it can be made to work in practical terms, according to current and former senior administration officials.
The administration is still looking at this idea, in the wake of Obama’s announcement after the Oregon shooting that he has directed officials to “scrub” current laws for further actions the executive branch can take against gun violence, those officials say.
But the administration studied the same proposal in 2013 after the Newtown shooting, in the run-up to its release of a number of other executive actions on guns, and decided against including this particular idea out of concerns about its workability, the officials confirm.
The Clinton campaign has pointed to her vow to use executive action to begin closing the long-discussed private seller loophole — which allows for sales conducted by private sellers to proceed without a background check — as proof of her commitment to acting on gun violence. As a Clinton spokesperson put it: “Her willingness to pursue reforms by executive action if necessary is proof of how urgent a priority this is to her.”

I heard this morning that both Obonzo and Clinton will be going to Oregon this Friday for a big Nazi political event and to dance and splash in the blood.
Their plan is to expand the database for background checks to include many non-criminal documents (including past restraining orders—that is, accusations arising from family/neighbor arguments, records of minor neuroses, etc.). Their approach is incremental, in that it seeks to violate the Second Amendment rights of one group after another, eventually encompassing many.
The more well known mass murderers so far have all been fatherless products of divorces.
I cannot recall any mass shooting where the “private seller loophole” was used.
They use the crimes as an excuse for new gun control, but NEVER propose anything that would have prevented the tragedies they are exploiting.
Instutionialize crazy people and eliminate “gun free zones” and 80% of these shootings could be prevented.
ELECT HILLARY, YOU ARE GETTING MANDATED GUN CONTROL

I agree with your post 100% my FRiend! I couldn’t have stated these FACTS any better…
Oh?
Just what are the specifics of that 'proposal'?
And just WHAT is broken about it?
Is it 'broke' like our 'immigration policy' is?
Yup; these mass shooters ALL bought their weapons at a gun show!
I'd pay GOOD money to see Nurse Ratched attend to her needs!
