Washington (CNN)Facing dwindling odds of successful gun control legislation before President Barack Obama leaves office, the White House is exploring executive action that would expand background checks on gun sales, officials say, though legal and administrative complications have proven difficult to surmount.
On Friday the president met with Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman severely wounded in a mass shooting in Tucson in 2011 in which six people were killed. Her husband, NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, also participated, as did senior White House advisor Valerie Jarrett.
The White House provided an update on the process, started after a shooting rampage in Oregon in October, of searching existing gun laws for openings where the administration could take unilateral action. But without a clear legal path, it could be months before any new measures are revealed.

Who’s “we”?
FOR banned private gold ownership with EO 6102, so it’s NOT a myth that they are binding on the general public.
just a few friends’ opinion is all. more than one makes it ‘we’
that’s all
best regards,
A shooting just took place in Brisbane, Australia
Hey Leftists, how’s that gun control working out for Australia, you can’t have a gun in Australia..except for the criminals and jihadists of course
Only cretins would respond to terrorist attacks by seeking to disarm the citizenry.
How is it that people don’t understand the absolute finality of the phrase SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED? It accepts no if, and, or buts. The Founders made it short and clear so that there is no fudging or fiddling in the wording. There is a reason that the right to keep and bare arms was second in the Ten Amendments known as Bill of Rights.
Dictators explore “executive action.”
Trans-Dimensionalphobes!
" ...cancelling the elections in the process(we hope that's not their plan, of course...)"
Who's "we"?
I was just going to say the exact same thing.
Gettin' too old for this sh!t, let's get the party started.
Bring it, homeboy.
Or terrorist enablers
For those who claim that states and municipalities can legally chip away at the 2A, imagine if NY state said that troops must be quartered in homes. State laws chipping away at the 2A are as blatantly Unconstitutional as quartering troops. No difference.
I knew the day would come that the common law abiding citizen would have to take up arms to preserve his heritage of freedom and liberty against an elected dictatorship.
It saddens me to see it happen within my lifetime but it is here and tonight that dictator will spew forth such vile and viscous attacks against our freedom that the entire history of our nation will be cast into the toilet.
We have very few elected officials on any level that represent and protect our Constitutional rights and the Supreme Court no longer is about compliance to the Constitution but to the whims of the Muslim dictator we have in office now.
I believe that the next few years will go down in history as the perfect example of subliminal mind and attitude programming of an entire generation of those under the age of 50 to willfully follow the crowd simply to be included in the latest fads, beliefs and most importantly, be excluded from the worst burden of all...RESPONSIBILITY.
Today’s generation thinks that our government should trash the Constitution and strictly rule based upon FAIRNESS! Everything should be FAIR. No such thing as RESPONSIBILITY.
The old saying you make your bed and lay in it to sleep has come full circle. The bed has been made and as the covers are pulled up our blessed America falls to the floor.
It really saddens me to see what mind conditioning has done to a once free and affluent country. It saddens me even more that we may be entering into a second civil war.
I suggest that Mr Obama take the same action he did when the SHTF in Benghazi. Plant his thumbs in a warm dark place, sit on those hands, zip his lips, and do nothing.
No Republican who permits the POTUS to infringe upon the RKBA unilaterally should be able to ever show their face in their home district without dire consequences.
There was a time in this country when politicians ran a very real risk of being tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.
So if you can’t buy a gun if your are on the watch list then how will homeland security employees get armed?
Hell they just bought 3 million rounds and have a couple hundred employees on the no fly list.
>> If it’s past 1 March it turns the Presidential campaign into a huge referendum on gun control
We’re already there.
Gun control is a 70% to 30% AGAINST issue; it only gains traction in isolated areas that vote reliably ‘rat.
Anything Obola proposes will be loudly slapped down by the leading (R) candidates, and will put the ‘rat candidates behind the 8 ball.
Three hundred million guns in private ownership, and new ones added daily. That genie ain’t going back in the bottle. Those crazy white guys that wrote 2A into the bill of rights knew what they were doing after all!
Checks and balances in action.
FUBO!
They never even tried to cancel elections during our worst domestic crisis, the Civil War. What makes anyone think they’d get away with it now?
I don’t know why they’d think they can get away with it. But it’s been done in other countries (as O’s big backer-”string-puller?” Soroz well knows from his Nazi youth in Germany, etc.. it may be wise to look at O “in his context” as no man operates without any influence from those that finance and instruct him). Speculative but consistent with what we’ve seen thus far — we will see what they try to do — Best, fhc
It's never been possible before...but today, they dream...it just might be possible to pull it off...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............ gun control......gun control....gun control.....
