New Restrictions On Sale Of Firearms Starts January 1st Well, it looks that President Barack Obama is set to get his way in the New Year. Following the tragic terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Obama was quick to use the publicity as an opportunity to push his gun control agenda. In his address to the American public, Obama promised that he would take action on guns in America. Since that speech, however, he has been relatively quiet regarding the details. Now, reports indicate that sometime in mid-January, Obama is expected to issue an executive action that will drastically expand background checks on gun purchasers throughout the country. Under the new legislation, people who sell guns from their homes or at gun shows will be required to perform background checks when selling guns. Currently, only federally licensed firearms dealers must go through that process. That means that 40 percent of all firearms sales in America will be affected. Obama has let it be known from his holiday retreat in Hawaii, through unidentified advisers, that soon after New Years Day he plans to follow through on plans to expand the definition of whos in the business of selling firearmsand whos thus required to perform background checks, Newsmax wrote. Of course, the measure is expected to receive backlash from Republican leaders and the National Rifle Association. Even if the government found it necessary to expand background checks, Obama is going about this completely backwards. This issue, which impacts our Second Amendment rights, should not be a matter that falls to executive authority. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama attacking more like a dictator than the president of this country?
