Obama to Announce Gun Control Actions Tuesday

President Obama plans to announce executive actions he will take on gun control on Tuesday, a source told ABC News.

Obama had announced during his weekly address Friday that he planned to discuss gun control options with Attorney General Loretta Lynch after he returned from his Hawaiian vacation, which ended today.

"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," he said in the address. "And on Monday, I'll meet with our Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, to discuss our options."

The White House had previously announced the Justice Department was examining unilateral action the president could take on gun control, and would be making recommendation.

The president says in the address his New Year's resolution is to move forward on unfinished business, including "our epidemic of gun violence."

"Last month, we remembered the third anniversary of Newtown. This Friday, I'll be thinking about my friend Gabby Giffords, five years into her recovery from the shooting in Tucson," he added. "And all across America, survivors of gun violence and those who lost a child, a parent, a spouse to gun violence are forced to mark such awful anniversaries every single day."

He asks for those who "care about this" to help him stand up to the gun lobby.

"The gun lobby is loud and well organized in its defense of effortlessly available guns for anyone," he said. "The rest of us are going to have to be just as passionate and well organized in our defense of our kids."

Precedent. Others have violated it before him with no repercussions.

Obama is lying, again. If he really wants to reduce gun violence he would push to change the involuntary commitment laws and end end welfare.

It's time for the people to rise up and get rid of this vermin. Refugees/terrorists included. If we don't stop it, America as we know it will end. And yes, we all know it's true.

AKA: Monkey see - Monkey do.

The "inside the beltway" crowd is in total agreement with him. Those who aren't will not risk being labeled a racist, therefore keep their mouths shut.

Time has shown the current congress is merely marking time, election to election until retirement. Not much happens there, that that does, is done by those who vote for it, with no idea what IT actually is.

------------

Now... Here comes Obama with threats to issue "Executive Actions" relating to firearms. Really?

Executive Actions Versus Executive Orders

The terms executive action and executive order are not interchangeable. Executive orders are legally binding and published in the Federal Register, though they also can be reversed by the courts and Congress.

A good way to think of executive actions is a wish list of policies the president would like to see enacted.

Most people seem to think Executive Actions and Executive Orders are one and the same. Au contraire.

The correct winner of the upcoming Federal election can/will do quite a lot to rapidly undo a LOT of the silliness put forward by this administration.

And lets not forget Obama's use of executive Memorandums.

Obama issues 'executive orders by another name'

Executive Actions Versus Executive Orders

Executive actions are any informal proposals or moves by the president. The term executive action itself is vague and can be used to describe almost anything the president calls on Congress or his administration to do.

But most executive actions carry no legal weight. Those that do actually set policy can be invalidated by the courts or undone by legislation passed by Congress.

The terms executive action and executive order are not interchangeable. Executive orders are legally binding and published in the Federal Register, though they also can be reversed by the courts and Congress.

A good way to think of executive actions is a wish list of policies the president would like to see enacted.

Good point Dixie...

My executive actions are that the current POS stand down and let someone else drive that is sober..

Jeff, The big difference is that the present administration doesn't want to take away your car, just your guns.

NO NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION!
