| The following is a list, provided by the White House, of executive actions President Obama plans to take to address gun violence. 1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system. 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. 3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system. 4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited

Comments: 0bama just had the gall to say this is the land of the free and always will be. What a pathological liar he is. It won´t be the land of the free while he is ruling. When you see a sentence beginning with "Direct the Attorney General" you should be very afraid.

I thought the Obamacare law was clear in prohibiting questions about gun ownership. He can´t change the law.

I note that Obama´s DOJ has an important part to play in these new gun contorl rules and regulations. This is the same DOJ that continues to coverup and stonewall regarding the DOJ´s illegal transfer of thousands of so-called assault weapons to Mexican drug cartels. Something smells of long dead fish.

With some exceptions, there´s not much on this list that is too onerous. HOWEVER, the list does not address severe prosecution of those who commit crimes with guns. Stop those creatures, and you´ll stop maybe 85% of all crime. And, there´s thankfully nothing addressing types of guns.

Don´t see anything really outstanding here one way or the other. Mainly telling Federal agencies to do what they are already empowered to do. Must be content to leave the tough stuff in Congress´ lap--where it belongs, actually.

What the list tells me is that he is not interested in gun violence. If he were he would address mental health issues with congress to enact more stringent laws. This is a photo op for the low info to confuse the low info crowd into thinking he is doing something. This is just a list of things to spend money on.

We never answer questions regarding possession of guns on medical forms. If the question is on a form we leave it blank, and if someone ever asks, we will refuse to answer the question. Actually, my husband did have a conversation with a doctor, who agreed that it is not an appropriate question. It is no one´s business, including physicians, if you have guns in your home.

I love it when 0bama touts Reagan´s 1994 letter on "assault weapons." Don´t forget that Ron Reagan said that his father´s dementia started during his second term and that his doctors diagnosed it in 1992. Did Reagan have the mental capacity to make an informed decision on this in 1994?

I see these as just another way for Barry to create more bureaucrasy and red tape. The Doctor references should be disobeyed by everyone - refuse to ask if you´re a Dr., and refuse to answer if you´re a patient.
Any patient with psychiatric problems will now resist going to a doctor now that they have to be snitches.

What an incredible load of meaningless nothing, Presidential memorandums, DOJ reports, reminders about what agencies are already doing? Talk about a waste of breath.
One made me laugh out loud
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
Let me rephrase
Remind doctors that the Dr Patient confidentiality respected by all legal precedant in the US is VOLUNTARY and that a Dr can tell the government anything he wants to about his patients.
What a tool. Notice, not one call for any actual legislative action, or more directly, no call for any kind of public debate on the matter.
Run little Obammy, Run.

All sizzle, and no meat. Just a bunch of bureaucratic BS policy changes--most of which the Feds should have been doing anyhow if they were doing their job. Little/no impact. Just another grandstand by Obama. As far as my doctor asking me about guns, who cares? I will either tell him to MYOB, or that I have an M1-A1 Abrams tank in my garage, depending on my mood that day.

None of this would have prevented Adam Lanza from going to that school and shooting those children.
His mother had the guns legally.
He was not diagnosed with mental illness by any doctor we´ve heard of. Aspberger´s is not mental illness.
They dance around the pesky HIPPAA (sp?) privacy law. Good luck with that.
This was mostly paper saber-rattling and show biz.

Incremental disarmament. Between Jarold (Jabba the Hutt) Nadler deciding just how many bullets should be required for self defense to my senile idiotic senator Nelson telling me what weapons I should use for hunting this has gotten completely out of hand.
The purpose of the 2nd Amendment is not to protect the rights of hunters...it is to protect the citizens from oppressive government.
When the govt comes after your guns, I´m sure they will have "assault" style weapons. I will have the equivalent....after all...it´s only fair...

Summary of the Obama show today to quote Shakespeare:
Life´s but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Well...except another half-billion dollars of wasteful spending...

This is a setup to broadening the diagnosis of mental illness. Just as the definition of ´terrorist´ has been enlarged to include returning veterans, home schoolers and evangelical congregations, look for mental illness to be expanded to include conservative principles, patriotic beliefs and regular prayer.

What a bunch of nothing. I am very surprised. If nothing else why didn´t he at least address the gang culture and the mental health issues. Also what about reinforcing the idea use a gun in a crime automatic prison sentence. If we don´t turn around some of the cultural issues we will never get violence under control. He didn´t even mention the violence in movies and games. I can´t believe this will satisfy his base because they want much stricter controls and outright bans.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

"Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied.

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
