A report indicates that President Obama will celebrate the Christmas season by circumventing Congress via executive gun control.

On December 21 Republican presidential hopeful Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced legislation to render any executive action on guns impotent by rendering it “advisory only.”

On November 12 a CBS News report focused on Everytown for Gun Safety’s efforts to secure more gun control revealed that President Obama has “assigned White House lawyers” to look for a way that executive action can be used to expand background checks to include private gun sales or at least some sales by private gun owners.

Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) are urging President Obama to use executive power to unilaterally change the way background checks for gun purchases are handled.
