Existing laws don't seem to work, and are not effectively enforced.
So, the answer to those problems is to pass another law?
Will the new law be enforced?
Why would anybody think that enforcement will magically occur, when it has not in the past?

Why people think doubling up existing laws will help anything is beyond me.
What does your link have to do with the title of your thread?
Apparently, you didn't read the article. Here is the last paragraph, just for you...
The rigorous gun control process Obama says he wants cannot be implemented by executive action, so he called on his audience to demand change from legislators he says are “terrified” into inaction by the National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers.
I could read the article all day long. Use your words. What's your point? What you wrote as the title to the thread has nothing to do with what's written in the article.
Instead of smacking your head, try making posts where you actually write out what point you have. The ability to pass gun control or not via executive order really has nothing to do with anything Obama said. Incidentally, that's a pretty poor source for any type of information. Getting your news from some guy who lives in his mom's basement is kind of sad.
If Obama could ban firearms with an executive order he would do it in a heartbeat, however, we have a constitution in this country that says otherwise. A firearm ban only works if the people agree to it, that isn't going to happen. Obama is banging his head against a brick wall on this one.
Firearms are not the problem, it's a society problem, you don't cure a problem by treating the symptom, you treat the cause. These mass shootings are a symptom of something going very wrong in our society, and that isn't going to go away by banning firearms. This administrations arguments for a gun ban to solve mass killing is nothing more than a "red herring" because it will only stop the mass killing from firearms and those who feel the need to carry out mass killings will find other means of doing it, the ole saying "necessity is the mother of invention" will come into play on this one.

I love how the anti-gun groups blame the NRA, and gun manufacturers. Here's a clue, it's not the NRA, and gun manufacturers that congress is “terrified” of, it's the many millions of voters that they are terrified of facing if they restrict the voters rights.
