Obama has met with a series of gun control advocates in recent
weeks as his aides complete work on a potential order expected to expand
background checks on gun sales by closing the so-called "gun show
loophole."
A timeline on the order -- which has been tangled in legal and administrative questions -- is still unknown. The President met with former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was gravely wounded during a 2011 shooting in Tucson, Arizona, on December 4 to discuss gun control.
But even as he works to tighten access to firearms, a new survey shows dwindling support for an outright ban on assault weapons, which both Obama and Bloomberg have advocated as a means to prevent gun deaths.
