Obama Wants ‘Billions For Gun Control’ In 2017 Budget

On February 9 President Obama released his 2017 budget proposal and it contains “billions for gun control.”

 

Much of this is to fund the various aspects of Obama’s January 5 executive gun controls, which include new FBI personnel to handle National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS) checks, more ATF agents, funding “smart gun” research, expanding background checks to trusts, etc.

 

According to The Hill, Tuesday’s budget proposal seeks “$1.3 billion” for the ATF alone. “Thirty-five million” of those dollars would go to funding the new ATF agents in the roles outlined the executive gun controls. Budget monies are also being sought for the “mental health” aspects of Obama’s gun controls–this includes the gun ban for some Social Security beneficiaries, which was co-opted into the list of executive controls.
