HONOLULU â President Obama will meet with Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch on Monday to finalize a set of executive actions on guns that he will unveil next week, according to several individuals briefed on the matter.
White House officials declined to comment on Obamaâs plans beyond releasing his weekly radio address on Friday, a day earlier than usual. But according to those familiar with the proposal, who asked for anonymity because it was not yet public, the president will expand new background-check requirements for buyers who purchase weapons from high-volume gun dealers.
The president will also use his executive authority in several other areas, these individuals said, but the overall package has not yet been finalized.
In the radio address, Obama said he was moving unilaterally because Congress had failed to address the growing problem of gun violence.

Whatever that Kenyan turd does, it will be overturned and invalidated no more than 386 days from now.
And if for some reason Emperor Barky does NOT leave OUR White House, no executive orders on guns, ammo or any other Second Amendment protected weapon will save him from We The People of the United States as we EVICT the sonuvabitch!

That’s one thing we can absolutely count on.
He can’t really do anything.
Ignore him, he’ll be gone in 384 days

That depends in large part on who is in the White House.
Ted Cruz has stated that he will invalidate all of Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional executive orders as soon as he takes Office. Trump will very likely do the same. There is universal agreement among conservative REAL Americans that Barky has overreached and if the Congress won’t straighten up and fly right, they too can be evicted from their plush offices.

“And the Republicans will do NOTHING to stop him...”
Exactly what should the Republican do ‘to stop him”? Impeachment? Please layout your strategy “to stop him”.
To: Dacula
Can’t the large gun dealers and their clients prove he is not defending the constitution and have him removed from office? No? Why not? Boy I wish the founders had added a vote of no confidence.
To: bryan999
I wish someone would ask him how this action would have prevented any mass shooting. He no longer even tries to rationalize what is clearly intended only to punish and harass his political opposition.

NO, but it would seem that either the weapon manufacturers, the ammo and weapon resellers, or john Q public will bring a law suit challenging these ILLEGAL LAWS BEING ISSUED AT 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.

This is going to be another nothing burger just like his big executive order after Sandy Hook. He has nothing legally that he can do so if he tries something illegal it will just get struck down in 30 days by some Fed Judge.
In 12 months Trump will take office and roll back all of the POS Muslim’s crapola executive orders anyway. I hope he does it on TV and says “this one’s for you Barkey” :-)

President Obama's 2016 wish list from SeeBS.
Executive actions on gun control
After months of legal review, the White House is expected to unveil executive measures aimed at reducing gun violence, as soon as early next week.
The president himself announced that the review period is now coming to an end. "A few months ago, I directed my team at the White House to look into any new actions I can take to help reduce gun violence. And on Monday, I'll meet with our Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, to discuss our options," he said, in his weekly radio address, released on New Year's day.
In early October, after the mass shooting at an Oregon community college, President Obama assigned White House and Justice Department lawyers to comb the law in search of any unused administrative authority available to him, given congressional inaction on guns.
One proposal under consideration: separate the gun collectors from the gun sellers. Under current law, background checks are required for anyone buying a firearm from someone "engaged in the business" of selling guns (like a federally-permitted gun store or dealer). Sales made out of a person's private collection, many of which are done online, are not subject to background checks.
The president could order a threshold be established such that anyone selling a certain number of guns annually would no longer qualify as a collector, but as someone "in the business" of firearm sales. Those buyers would then be subject to background checks.

To: Lurkinanloomin
He may not can but his enforcement arm can and will. Ignoring them will get you killed or in jail very quickly.
