the white house argues the president's actions will be within his executive authority... and in line with polls that show broad support for tightening backgroundndhecks.

"i would call it a right to sell your own personal property." jerry cochran is one of virginian's largest gun dealers. in 35 years, he says he has never sold a gun without a background check. but he does not feel expanding background checks in this way would help stop gun violence or prevent shootings like those in sandy hook, san bernardino and trader jerry's"it looks like we have some unstable indi
