Executive Order background checks

A second thread about Obama and gun control. Two different subjects. Let's try to keep them separate.

I don't have the exact outline to copy and paste, so let me lay it out, as I initially understand it. Require more stringent background check for any firearm sale, including private/gunshow, which will create new class of firearm dealer requirements. Some 130 new FBI hires to handle additional background checks, and 200 new ATF hires to handle investigations.

I don't think I could have a problem with more stringent background checks, unless someone can show me where this may be a slippery slope.... Would like to see the minimum requirements for red flagging someone.... Hope party voting record would not have any bearing. How are they going to incorporate mental health history into the equation needs to be explored. I would have to believe there are a number of ranchers in Oregon who are currently adding a black mark to their future background checks.....
