As a result of Vice President Joe Biden’s task force to explore changes to gun laws, the Center for American Progress, an influential liberal think-tank funded by George Soros, has released 13 recommendations to “prevent gun violence in our nation.”
Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, told Fox News Sunday that her group will “absolutely” mount a full-scale campaign to push for more gun control.
The proposal targets three key areas:
- Better background checks
- Taking military-grade weapons off the streets and out of criminals’ hands
- Better data, better coordination, and better enforcement
The recommended actions were presented to the White House on Friday. Biden is expected to issue his recommendations on Tuesday.
Biden is quoted to have said, “The President is going to act, there are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet.”
Apparently with that in mind, the Center for American Progress issue brief breaks down their recommendations into “legislative proposals” and “executive action,” indicating areas where the president may act without congressional approval.
Here is the brief’s 13 point outline:
Better background checks
Legislative proposals
- A background check for every gun sale
- Input all necessary records into the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System
- Prevent convicted stalkers from acquiring guns
- Close the “terror gap”
Executive action
- Penalize states that fail to provide records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System
- Ensure that federal agencies provide required records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System
- Perform background checks on employees of federally licensed dealers during the course of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives audit inspections
Take military-grade weapons off the streets and out of criminals’ hands
Legislative proposals
- Reregulate assault weapons
- Ban high-capacity gun magazines
Executive action
- Require broader reporting of multiple sales of assault rifles
Better data, better coordination, and better enforcement
Legislative proposals
- Strip riders from the administration’s fiscal year 2014 budget and all future budgets that restrict gun data collection and sharing
- Treat gun trafficking as a serious crime
Executive action
- Begin the process of the FBI absorbing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives

I like the one about treating gun trafficking as a serious crime. Obama and Holder should be held responsible for trafficking all those guns to the drug cartels in Mexico . Guns used in hundreds of murders including several of our own law enforcement officers.
And George Soros is a citizen of where!?! As far as gun trafficking we can start with Fast and Furious and jail Holder and Obama!!! Then they can keep their hands off of my constitutionally protected Rights!!! I don’t see anything mentioned about dealing with the mentally ill situation. This whole thing stems on limiting the rights of law abiding citizens to be able to protect themselves. It’s all a blame game and a propaganda machine aimed at taking away gun rights of law abiding citizens so that we will not be able to defend ourselves against tyranny!!! These liberals just refuse to get the point, so the only thing to do is to make a stand against them, peacefully if possible, but none the less a firm stand!!! Congress had best do it’s job and protect and defend the U.S. Constitution as it is sworn to do!!!
George soros wants to be very careful.when the revolution comes,and it will,he’s gonna be a very high priority target.
Indeed, both he and his son (the eldest clone) are at risk. As for me, I’d just slap them silly.
