1."Issue a presidential memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system."
Shouldn’t this already be being done
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."
So after all the hand wringing by politicians about Health Care Privacy, we just say “it's OK this is about Guns”
3. "Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system."
? Don’t they already share and isn’t it the federal governments job to maintain and post the information or do you just want to know who has guns?
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."
Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder, you have to be kidding me
5. "Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun."
Sorry but the Professional Cops I know already do this.
6. "Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers."
Sorry but people with a Federal Firearms Gun Dealers license already know how, but you still have to pay them.
7. "Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign."
Call the NRA they already have the syllabus and experience and have been doing this type of training for years. I did my first NRA Gun Safety Class in 1964.
8. "Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission)."
I will wait for the report, hopefully sometime in this decade.
9. "Issue a presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations."
See #5, Cops already do this
10. "Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement."
Again, shouldn’t this already be being done, are you just writing stuff down to make it look like your doing something?
11. "Nominate an ATF director."
Again, your job, Do It
12. "Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations."
Call the NRA they already have the syllabus and experience and have been doing this type of training for years
13. "Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime."
I agree with this one, so lets make it a mandatory 10 years if convicted if a gun is used in the commission of a crime and 25 to life if someone is shot, if someone dies the Death Penalty is now on the table.
14. "Issue a presidential memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence."
Is this the same CDC with an entrenched Anti-gun Bureaucracy?
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."
Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder, you have to be kidding me, he couldn’t even have his people put tracking devices in the guns he sent to Mexico. At least Bush tried to track the weapons in Wide Receiver.
16. "Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes."
Still Trying to get rid of that pesky HIPPA regulation
17. "Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities."
Sorry but Health Care Providers already know to report anyone that they fell is a threat to harm Themselves or Others, if they don’t its because (a) they know the person/patient is just flapping their gums or (b) they are afraid of being sued (see HIPPA)
18. "Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers."
Sure sounds like NRA’s response put a cop or Trained Armed Person in the schools
19. "Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education."
Or if we want it done this decade, tell them to get with their Police department to develop one that fits their area.
20. "Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover."
Good Idea, who’s going to pay
21. "Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges."
See #20
22. "Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations."
See #20
23. "Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health."
Have them checked by Mental Health Professionals first and See #20
