(VOVworld) - The Obama administration will announce a series of executive actions on Tuesday to combat gun violence in the U.S. Among other things, the actions would expand mandatory background checks for some private sales. The administration would also provide more funding for mental health treatment, FBI staff, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents. In a speech at the White House on Monday following a meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, President Barack Obama said he was confident his new executive actions to tighten US gun rules were consistent with the constitutional right to bear arms and said the initiatives would be rolled out over the next several days.
