President Obama decides to give the gun industry a gift with gun control
- 8 years ago
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is planning to announce a series of executive actions on Tuesday concerning gun control.
The orders would expand mandatory background checks for some private gun sales. They would also provide more funding for mental health treatment, FBI staff and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents.
"These are not only recommendations that are well within my legal authority and the executive branch," Obama said in a Monday press conference in the Oval Office. "But they are also ones that the overwhelming majority of the American people, including gun owners, support and believe in."
The administration is planning on narrowing who can sell guns without a federal license.
They are also proposing to hire more people for the FBI to help run background checks. Background checks will also be required for individuals who try to buy restricted firearms through a legal entity, such as a corporation or trust.
The Department of Health and Human Services will look make it easier to get access to mental health records when performing background checks.
Obama wants to enforce tighter rules for reporting guns that are lost or stolen before they get to the buyer.
Federal agencies will also look to encourage and invest in technologies that can make guns safer.
