EXPANSION OF BRADY BACKGROUND CHECKS CENTERPIECE
OF PRESIDENT’S EXECUTIVE ACTIONS ON GUN VIOLENCE
History will be made in the East Room of the White House tomorrow when President Obama formally announces a series of executive actions to curb gun violence. The most significant of these actions is the clarification of who is “engaged in the business of selling guns” which will result in the expansion of Brady background checks to the thousands of commercial gun sales that happen every day in our nation without them. The announcement comes after the Brady Campaign provided specific policy recommendations to the highest levels of the Administration, including a recent meeting between Brady President Dan Gross and Obama Special Advisor Valerie Jarrett.
