Obama promises more executive actions on guns

Obama can't get the regulations that he wants through congress so he proposes more executive orders.  Obama claims that this is to "combat gun violence."  My belief is that this is simply his way of making gun ownership more costly.  From The Hill newspaper:

President Obama told a collection of big-city mayors Tuesday at the White House that he would continue to use executive actions to combat gun violence plaguing major cities. 

In the meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder and the mayors of 18 cities from across the nation, Obama discussed commonly applicable strategies to reduce youth violence. 

"He also vowed to continue doing everything in his power to combat gun violence through executive action and to press Congress to pass common-sense reforms like expanding the background check system and cracking down on gun trafficking," the White House said in a statement. . . .
