Quick notes over his speech:
He has a specific set of proposals
Intend to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality
LEO/Schools/Public Health - Given tools to help reduce gun violence
Strengthen background checks
Help schools hire more resource officers
Develop Emergency preparedness plans
Make sure mental health professionals knows options for reporting likely offenders
CDC to study ways to reduce gun violence
23 executive actions total
Congress Mentioned In:
CONGRESS SHOULD require universal background check for any firearm purchase
CONGRESS SHOULD restore ban on AW and ten round mag limit
CONGRESS SHOULD make it harder to manufacture military style assault weapons
CONGRESS SHOULD help law enforcement
So it looks like a lot of this is going to go to Congress, rather than go via Executive Order. I think that was smart on his part....to many EO's at this point could easily have pushed a large number of people over the edge, so to speak...
Also, I like how some peoples rights being denied means that we should deny more people different rights, since all of our rights are so important....make sense much?
All the executives orders sound like a great plan to me, although I have yet to read the actual text. As for his urging on what congress should do, we all already knew that was the way he felt. All in all, I am extremely happy with the outcome, but I'm sure that will **** some of you off. Good thing I don't care.
