Sweeping new gun laws proposed by influential liberal think tank

Hope they get what they want.

Quote:
The Center for American Progress is recommending 13 new gun policies to the White House ? some of them executive actions that would not require the approval of Congress ? in what amounts to the progressive community?s wish list.

CAP?s proposals ? which include requiring universal background checks, banning military-grade assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and modernizing data systems to track gun sales and enforce existing laws ? are all but certain to face stiff opposition from the National Rifle Association and its many allies in Congress.

Obama ? as well as Vice President Biden, who is leading the administration?s gun violence task force ? has voiced support for many of these measures. Yet it is unclear which policies he ultimately will propose to Congress. Biden is planning to present his group?s recommendations to Obama on Tuesday.
