23 executive actions will have been implemented which emphasis proper use of gun, not deliver into wrong hands.
Out of 23, six has announced on Wednesday stated implementation of National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS that flawed to determine who can buy guns, reinstating the Assault Weapons Ban, and stricter regulations on high-capacity magazine ammunition clips.
From last two years, the rage between Obama administration and Republican Congress has been raising in form of policy directives, signing statements and other administrative steps.
To bypass Congress, Obama’s recent act of Gun Control law against gun violence is seem to tighter the war.
Gun rights groups have accused Obama of an unconstitutional power grab, reports said.
Mr. Obama also called and urged Congress to ban the sale of assault rifles. Obama accused those who oppose ban on assault weapon.
Sources said, Obama said, “I think that we’ve seen for some time now that those who oppose any common sense gun control or gun safety measures have a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government’s about to take all your guns away. And, you know, there’s probably an economic element to that.”
