white house gun control initiative of 2011

Some White House/DOJ "source" leaked details of our glorious leader's gun control initiative.

• A national electronic system designed to make background checks for handgun buyers simpler and faster, leaving an electronic paper trail under a law named for James Brady, Ronald Reagan’s press secretary who was wounded in the 1981 assassination attempt on the president.
• A new reporting requirement that federally licensed gun shops report any person who tries to buy two long-arm weapons near the Mexican border over a five-day period.
• Tougher sentencing guidelines for straw buyers that Holder’s department pushed through procedural hoops at the U.S. Sentencing Commission earlier this year.

He going to bypass Congress and push these items administratively. It was supposed to be a discrete effort. So much for that idea. I'd almost think the leak was to test the waters, but they can't be so stupid as to not know all hell is coming down on them. Are the gun control lefties that important to his re-election campaign?
