President Obama is preparing to take executive action on guns soon, after being rebuffed by Congress in his effort to crack down on gun violence.
Gun control advocates say the move could come as early as next week.
"The president has made clear he's not satisfied with where we are and expects that work to be completed soon," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz.
Obama has been frustrated by his inability to push gun safety legislation through Congress, despite a major effort three years ago after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which left 26 people dead including 20 children.
After another deadly massacre in October at an Oregon community college, Obama asked his advisers to look again for actions he could take on his own. One idea that has been floated is designed to narrow the number of gun sales that take place without a background check.

In related news...President Osama bin Liar will begin proceedings against Ford and General motors since numerous automobiles have been involved in the killing of Americans.
Cars have uses other than killing, maiming, intimidating and performing Annie Oakley tricks. The last is the only one that can bring joy to all involved. The others always have some animal or person on the wrong end of a barrel.
