HONOLULU (AP) — The Obama administration is announcing a pair of executive actions aimed at strengthening federal background checks for gun purchasers, with a particular focus on limiting firearm access for those with mental health issues.

One proposed rule change aims to clarify terminology used by federal law to prohibit people from purchasing a firearm for mental health reasons.

Now he is going to use "mental illness".

Do we need a convention of states in order to reign him in?

I find it amazing how he just unilaterally changes laws, postpones provisions of laws and changes definitions within laws and gets away with it. Definitely dictatorial.

Yes, he will be reined in only if Republicans get a majority in both houses in the next election. Otherwise, he has figured out what all dictator's know; nothing happens to you when you ignore your nation's laws if you have enough flunkies kneeling to you.
