President Barack Obama is expected to announce in the coming days a new executive action with the goal of expanding background checks on gun sales, people familiar with White House planning said.
Described as "imminent," the set of executive actions would fulfill a promise by the President to take further unilateral steps the White House says could help curb gun deaths.
Plans for the action are not yet complete, and those familiar with the process warn that unforeseen circumstances could delay an announcement. But gun control advocates are expecting the new actions to be revealed next week, ahead of Obama's annual State of the Union address, set for January 12.
The White House wouldn't comment directly on the exact timing or content of Obama's executive orders. White House spokesman Eric Schultz said that the President expected a set of recommendations on unilateral action to arrive at the beginning of the year.
He said Obama was "expressing urgency" for a list of steps he can take on his own after high-profile incidents of gun violence at the end of this year.

A spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association said the group had no comment The group previously told CNN that Obama's "gun control agenda was rejected by Congress. Now, he is doing what he always does when he doesn't get his way, defying the will of the people and using executive action."

Gun control advocates say Obama could take action himself by issuing a regulation that provides expanded guidance on who falls under the "in the business" standard.

This is one of the things that can piss off a lot of people, the kind that would start a rebellion.
I have a feeling a 2nd Civil war is coming, for some reason I feel it.
You don’t bury the guns you need.
You bury some extras for your posterity.
>>You bury some extras for your posterity.
If your posterity needs buried weapons, then we totally failed and they won’t want them because they’ll be completely indoctrinated to the new way of life on this continent, or they’ll be penned up in labor camps far away from your buried caches.
If your extra weapons were to mean anything, you’d be planning to give them to your unarmed neighbors when they finally realize that its time to fight.
