That means if you want to sell your gun to your neighbor, under Obama’s new order, you’ll need to first pass an executive-mandated background check from the federal authorities.

This so-called closing of the gun show loophole – where dealers who sell commercially are currently subjected to the federal background checks’ process, but not those who sell from their own personal collections – is Obama’s pet, through and through.
