NEWTOWN, Conn --(Ammoland.com)- Seemingly unsatisfied with the pace of progress in Congress, President Obama has quietly pushed a number of items related to firearms through executive actions that don’t require Congressional action or approval.

Among the items are money toward NICS that comes a day late and a dollar short of what NSSF has advocated, and a million dollar ad campaign.

What he hasn’t done is fund NSSF’s successful program, Project ChildSafe, that received federal funding under the Bush Administration.

There were a few items that were advanced that will force taxpayer-funded money toward research and potentially advocacy of more stringent gun-control laws.
