Yes i would, but all he does is cater to a certain group of people that are a certain fear for guns, alot of hot air.
actually no. you wanna know why? SCOTUS has already ruled that the fed cannot require background checks from the states. states that do are doing so voluntarily. so if a state wants to tell him to pee up a rope they can do so.

He can do as usual his executive orders crap but if they intrude in the constitutional rights of Americans the supreme court is going to slap him for it, specially when he is not passing laws and is going around congress.
Or at least take away their guns.
you can't. i bought a big scary gun online. (UTS-15) it can only be delivered to a licensed dealer. that licensed dealer does the background check before releasing the weapon into the buyers custody.

I don't think confiscation is near but whose to say loads of registered long gun owners, for starters, couldn't be added to the "no fly" list?
Per the article - I knew guns could be purchased at gun shows w/o a background check but I am surprised people can buy them online without the check. I don't think any guns can be purchased online in my state period.

it may be because there are 27 states that told the fed to go to hell WRT to background checks in general backed up by SCOTUS rulings. it's either 27 without or 33 without i forget which was which. But even so it is unlikely the refusing states will change thier mind and thus the Fed cannot require it legally. They can try but it will be a slap at the SCOTUS which won't go over well with them; even the libs on the court.

I believe you but why is the article making it sound as though online gun purchases don't require a background check? If the check happens via the dealer then why does the article make it sound as though there is no check whatsoever for online purchases?
in one of the many recent gun control threads here the fact that the SCOTUS struck down two provision of previous gun control laws that were related to mandatory background checks was posted here by pro-gun forum members. though they let the rest of the law standing. so i am not sure which case it came out of.
