The US administration is set to release a statement that contains executive actions to fight gun violence in the country. President Barack Obama wants to also expand mandatory background checks for private businessmen who sell guns. However, White House critics, republicans in Congress, and even presidential candidates have blasted any attempt or proposal by the administration to crack down gun rules.

The president said that these gun rules 'are not only recommendations', but they are also ones that the overwhelming majority of the America people, including gun owners, support and believe in. It is also reported that Obama's administration would provide more funding for FBI staff and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives workers, and most especially for mental health treatment.

Gun control initiatives have been repeatedly defeated or delayed by Congress, and administration sources said that it would purse unilateral action. This will likely include additional effort to reinforce background check requirements for a wide range of private sellers. Some of the White House's detractors were enraged and see such move to be 'a presidential overreach'.

In an interview on 'New Day' with CNN's Chris Cuomo, presidential candidate Donald Trump said that pretty soon Americans won't be able to acquire guns. Trump added, that Obama's gun control is another step in the way of not getting guns.

Also, after President Obama's meeting, House Speaker Paul Ryan called out the President's "dismissiveness" toward the Second Amendment as well as Congress. Ryan said in a statement on Monday that, "While we don't yet know the details of the plan, the President is at minimum subverting the legislative branch, and potentially overturning its will." He continued saying that the President's proposals to restrict gun rights were debated by the US Senate and eventually rejected and that no president should be able to reverse legislative failure by executive fiat, not even incrementally.

Meanwhile, Hilary Clinton said she is in favor with Obama's efforts, but warned that voting a Republican into office in 2017's election would effectively undo any progress that followed. She also told Radio Iowa that 'American people got to act', but she doesn't think that it's enough and she believes that they need to keep pushing forward on the political front to take on the gun lobby and to work alongside with responsible gun owners.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan said that Republicans would discuss a more detailed response when they learn the full plan from President Obama and the White House later this week.
