Obama To Unveil Gun Control Reforms In Near Future WASHINGTON -- Half a year after the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), the Obama administration is set to release a series of reforms to the current gun law, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Thursday. The reforms, which are being crafted by the Department of Justice, come after a series of meetings with relevant stakeholders in the Second Amendment debate. But in a nod to the difficulties of getting legislation through a Republican-run House of Representatives, only executive orders or administrative actions -- and not an actual bill -- are expected to be handed to Congress. Administration officials were coy on the specifics, from the reforms the Department of Justice would recommend or when it would actually make those recommendations. "The president directed the Attorney General to form working groups with key stakeholders to identify common sense measures that would improve American safety and security while fully respecting Second Amendment rights," Carney said at Thursday's briefing. "That process is well underway at the Department of Justice with stakeholders on all sides working through these complex issues and we expect to have more specific announcements in the near future." Just how near? Carney would only say "not far in the future." Another administration official said weeks would be an appropriate measurement. When the recommendations do come, it will represent the most comprehensive move on the gun control front from this administration to date. The president has largely punted on the issue since entering the White House, save issuing carefully worded reactions to Supreme Court rulings on local gun laws or bans. The Giffords shooting had, seemingly, upped the pressure to implement reforms. Obama himself used the occasion to pen an op-ed for the Arizona Daily Star advocating for stronger state-to-state coordination with respect to gun data, expedited background checks and greater enforcement of the laws already on the books. The Department of Justice meetings commenced not too long later and have continued over the course of several months, according to an administration official. They are now finished. The end result, one source close to the discussions said, was a package of reforms "not huge in scope." They are largely expected to mirror the topics covered in the president's op-ed. Gun control advocates have pushed for more, including legislation that would limit the size of magazines -- such as the 32-round clip that Giffords' shooter used -- or a bill that would force private sellers to conduct background checks at gun shows -- which was pushed in the wake of the Virginia Tech shooting. Still, executive actions offer something that legislation doesn't: guaranteed results. And as one gun control advocate told the Huffington Post, there are ways to "use these administrative changes to obtain similar results."

Lies. Every word out of Carney's mouth is a damnable lie.

We the people are certainly not considered relevant.

I didn't get my invitation. You forget, you're dealing with demonrats here. The term "relevant stakeholders" is defined as those who have a stake in killing/restricting gun ownership, not with the NRA/GOA/etc.

That's what I was thinking. Carney is so full of crap we can smell it from here.

The hypocrisy of dragging Roger Clements over the coals for allegedly lying about 'roid use, when they do nothing but lie to us every day (all day) of the year. AJ is right, the Police State is here.

"Hurry, Hurry, step right up folks, SEE the man who is half white and half black!! Found in the remote interior of Africa and brought to America, he's the Political Wonder of the Ages!! Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear "Little 'Bammy" recite his sage advice and prophetic wisdom that can enrich your life and cure your common-sense afflictions!! WATCH as he swings a golf club in perfect imitation of a human being hitting the links on a Sunday afternoon!! Hurry, hurry, step right up, this is a limited engagement, don't miss out....."
__________________________________________________________ Yeah, who gives a $#it about Roger Clements using steroids? Has that made anyone's life (other than him anyway) any better or any worse? Now that's a jury I wish I could be on. The people running that farce would soon learn something about properly applied jury nullification.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits. Albert Einstein
The states are finally consistently overruling the feds. As it should be. Concealed and open carry gain ground all the time. Obama and his administration are a joke and will be gone at the next election.

Carney is another name for a FARO BANK. Carnivals are basically how they got the kids' money in the 19th cwentury as children even at that time could not play adult gambling games like Faro and Poker legally in most jurisdictions.
