President Barack Obama is considering using an executive order to impose new background-check requirements on people buying guns from high-volume dealers, The Washington Post reports.

The change would require dealers who go over a certain number of sales per year to have a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and do background checks people attempting to buy guns from them.

"This is a super-complicated policy," an administration official familiar with the idea told NBC.

The ATF objects to the action, saying it would be difficult to enforce, and one official told the paper, "Everyone realized it would be hugely politically controversial."

50 to 100 a year is the number Obama is considering, but I expect the final number to be one a year.

Nobody will stop this out-of-control tyrant.

NRA will file a lawsuit.
The “executive order” will be stopped in its tracks.

Since Obama owns and controls the courts, it probably not be decided in our favor.

Nobody in a position of authority wants to stop him. They all believe that they can ride the tiger, feed the tiger and it won’t eat them.

It might be time to give the entire Obama administration all of our bullets. We’ll police the brass later. :)

The trick is the difficulty in enforcing it. Anytime Fedgov makes a law that's impossible to enforce, it means we're responsible for proving we're in compliance.

Let’s keep repeating it. There is no difference between Obama and Romney. There is no difference between Obama and Romney. There is no difference between Obama and Romney. Maybe it will come true if we click our heels.

Maybe he should go back to lobotomies for the mentally questionable or he should stop complaining.

Obama needs to figure out a way to get Jamal to do a background check on Leroy when he sells him a stolen gun out of the trunk of his car parked behind Walmart.

The President of the United States is the chief executive of the executive branch (and commander in chief of the armed forces) An executive order is something he issues to departments within the administration, they are not laws.

He has no authority do do what is proposed in this article.
