2016年1月4日，美国总统奥巴马带着悲伤和激动的情绪宣布了控枪10条新规，旨在解决最近几年美国接连发生的大规模射杀势头。
“我们竟然已经变得麻木到如此地步…..” 奥巴马的声音近乎十分沮丧，抱怨这是因为在全美发生一次又一次屠杀之后，更改控枪条例却仍受到这么大阻力。
“来自美国全国步枪协会的压力，共和党掌控的国会在控枪问题上不作为。” 奥巴马言辞激烈。对着媒体的镜头，奥声音咽泣，当说起俄勒冈州，南卡罗来纳州和加利福尼亚州大屠杀事件时他不禁痛哭，说 “这些足够感到震惊与失望”，猛烈抨击国会议员，认为他们是懦夫，甚至带领一众唱起【奇异恩典】。
奥巴马绕过了国会颁布的一系列控枪新规共有10条，涉及了通过何种渠道，售枪者执照许可、加强对购枪者背景审查等, 如下是10条新规要点：
1. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is making clear that it doesn’t matter where you conduct your business — from a store, at gun shows, or over the Internet: If you’re in the business of selling firearms, you must get a license and conduct background checks.
2. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is finalizing a rule to require background checks for people trying to buy some of the most dangerous weapons and other items through a trust, corporation, or other legal entity.
3. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is overhauling the background check system to make it more effective and efficient. The envisioned improvements include processing background checks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and improving notification of local authorities when certain prohibited persons unlawfully attempt to buy a gun. The FBI will hire more than 230 additional examiners and other staff to help process these background checks.
4. The President’s FY2017 budget will include funding for 200 new ATF agents and investigators to help enforce our gun laws.
5. ATF has established an Internet Investigation Center to track illegal online firearms trafficking and is dedicating $4 million and additional personnel to enhance the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network.
6. ATF is finalizing a rule to ensure that dealers who ship firearms notify law enforcement if their guns are lost or stolen in transit.
7. The Administration is proposing a new $500 million investment to increase access to mental health care.
8. The Social Security Administration has indicated that it will begin the rulemaking process to include information in the background check system about beneficiaries who are prohibited from possessing a firearm for mental health reasons.
9. The Department of Health and Human Services is finalizing a rule to remove unnecessary legal barriers preventing States from reporting relevant information about people prohibited from possessing a gun for specific mental health reasons.
10. The President has directed the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security to conduct or sponsor research into gun safety technology.
