Biden: W.H. readies 19 executive actions on guns

The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control.

The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation.

The White House declined to comment on the details of what Obama will propose.

From the article   “It was all focusing on enforcing existing law, administering things like improving the background database, things like that that do not involve a change in the law but enforcing and making sure that the present law is administered as well as possible,” said Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.).

This seems fine to me, We don't need new laws, but there is no harm in actually enforcing the laws that we do have.

I'd rather see the ones we have repealed.
