Liberal think tank gives Obama gun control proposal that includes steps to bypass Congress Jan 13th 2013, 13:35 The Center for American Progress, the influential liberal think tank, is purportedly recommending 13 new gun policies to the White House, including some that call for executive action that sidesteps congressional approval. The proposals include requiring universal background checks, banning military-grade assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips and updating data systems to track gun sales and enforce existing laws, according to The Washington Post, which said the proposals "amount to the progressive community's wish list." Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden is scheduled to appear on "Fox News Sunday" and will likely discuss the proposals, which are expected to face strong opposition from the National Rifle Association, an influential gun-rights advocacy group, and its congressional allies. President Obama has already expressed support for many of the proposals -- in the aftermath of the fatal shootings last month at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 first-graders and six adults were killed. Vice President Joe Biden is leading a task force on possible changes to the gun laws. And after talking with groups on both sides, Biden purportedly could give the recommendations to the president by as early as this week. The Center for American Progress' 11-page report was presented Friday to White House officials, according to The Post.
