There is nothing in these 23 "executive orders" that is either not being implement now, by the states, or is in the least "controversial." Most Importantly, he did not move to circumvent congress.

As a member of the NRA and teaparty confessor,  I believe we should coop these "orders"  and lead the way in their implementation.  None of them limit our rights or necessarily serve as cause of concern.  

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.  

Note: there are limits to the passage of information to the Federal Government written into ObamaCare at the request of the NRA and entered into the text of the bill by none other than Hapless Harry Reid.  Obama wants to get rid of this barrier,  but such may not happen without House partnership,  something that currently is not in the cards.  

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.  

Question:  a guise for sending more aid to states in financial trouble?  

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

5. Propose rule making to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

Notes: the cops do not have this ability, now ??

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

Note:  good grief,  the ATF does not know how to do this, now ???

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.

Note:  responsible states are already doing this.  

8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).

Note: this will take about 15 minutes. 

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.

Note: cops need to be told to "get busy tracking down owners of guns used in crimes"  ????????

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.

11. Nominate an ATF director.

Note:  let me be sure I have this right.  Obama just ordered himself to make an appointment that should have been done some time ago  --  an Executive Order to himself???    Geeeesh. 

12. Provide law enforcement, first-responders, and school officials with proper  training for active shooter situations.

Note:  folks,  we are just being silly,  here.  This is already being done.

13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.

Note:  this is a meaningless point in view of the fact that law enforcement does not need "maximization"  does it?

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.

Note: if he is talking about mental health issues,  great. Mark Levine believes this is an illegal function.  

15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies.  

Note:  Great !!

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

Note: neither does ObamaCare order doctors to do so on pain of prosecution.   

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.

Note:  I believe this includes "armed and trained resource officers."  

19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.

20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.

Note:  health officials had better know these things,  already.  Again,  just words to fill up paper space. 

21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.

Note: what do health benefits in ObamaCare and its state exchanges have to do with gun control??  Obviously,  Obama believes that ObamaCare is much more than health care.  

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.

Note:  didn't he just order this?

23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.

Note:  anyone bet this is never happen?  

Sadly,  no mention of increasing penalties for the use of guns during a crime.
Sadly,  not a hint of concern for black on black violence or the growing plague of terrorist groups we lovingly call "gangs."    

Sadly,  no mention of the impact of violent "gaming" on the psychic of our youth.
