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.

I won't either. The tech so far has the drawbacks of being unreliable.
Will fingerprint readers work if you are bleeding on the sensor?
What if you can't get the ring off (another 'smart' gun system), will the sensor work, and what if you are incapacitated, will your spouse be able to pick that firearm up and use it to defend you?
What if it is dropped or damaged?
Do you carry a backup? If you have more than one, you'd better have the right doohickey to activate it or you have an expensive brick.
Can the bad guys count the rings on your fingers and know how many guns you have so they can just shoot you and take them all, with the activators?
As soon as this sort of stuff becomes available, you can bet there will be a cottage industry rendering it ineffective.
How about just not enabling AlQaida with the arsenals of destabilized dictatorships, not funding the Muslim Brotherhood, or arming Mexican Drug Cartels? Maybe that would work.
