for people who buy guns. the president during his weekly radio address defended his position. "this policy was supported by some 90% of the american people. it was supported by a majority of nra households. but the gun lobby mobilized against it. and the senate blocked it." democratic frontrunner for president hillary clinton applauds the move to use executive orders to increase background checks for gun buyers. republican candidates disagree. "now this president wants to act as if he is a king, as if he is a dictator. fact is, if he wants to make changes to these laws, go to congress and convince the congress that they're necessary." "so he is going to sign another executive order having to do with the second amendment, having to do with guns. i will veto that. i will unsign that so fast." "his first impulse is always to take rights away from law-abiding citizens, and it's wrong." still this is at the top of the president's agenda for his final year in office. president obama is expected to conduct a three month review of other steps he can take to reduce gun violence.
