Thousands of unlicensed gun shows and online dealers will be forced to conduct customer background checks for the first time in a fresh effort by Barack Obama to tackle America’s epidemic of deadly shootings.

Bold move and one which will see a lot of fighting in congress to get overturned. Maybe Obama thinks the Republicans may not want to pass gun control measures in the House but that they won't want the image of overturning implemented gun control measures in an election year when, inevitably, another massacre will occur at some point at people will look at what they did? Inaction on gun control is probably preferable to them than action of loosing gun control.
At least he is doing something though. He has entered a 'I don't care' stage of the Presidency in this term since congress wants to stifle pretty much everything. He has resorted to a number of executive actions to bypass them.
