Article describing what the 23 orders on gun control do???

I can find loads of bullshit but not one single article listing a summary of what all 23 order do. Did any media source cover this to actually inform the public as opposed to reduce our IQ to what we can fit on a facebook image?

"Start a dialog", "implement best practices", "fully enforce the law", etc. The relevant agencies now have to actually implement that.

Oh, and Lars Larson too: this will be the end of the USA; President Obama (Barack HUSSEIN Obama, according to Larson) is now a fascist, taking away our "God given rights".

The 23 'proposals' are NOT executive orders, they are Executive Actions/Proposals.

Three 'memoranda' were issued (which also are NOT an executive orders):

1) Presidential Memorandum -- Improving Availability of Relevant Executive Branch Records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System
