Here's some facts to back that up.
The GOP-controlled Senate refusal to pass new gun control measures came weeks after the Washington Post reported that suspected terrorists had successfully purchased more than 2,000 guns from American dealers between 2004 and 2014, even though law enforcement is notified whenever someone on the FBI’s watchlist attempts to purchase a firearm.
Also on Thursday, the Senate failed to pass another bill that would have expanded background checks to gun show and online firearms sales. The measure would also prevents convicted felons and the mentally ill from having access to weapons.

there has been gobs and gobs of bills to regulate and control assault style weapons introduced and bandied about for many many years now and all have been detoured or whatever. that's why i'm advocating the extreme measure of an executive order.

The 2nd Amendment says we have a right to bear arms, nuclear weapons are considered arms, so wtf?
Nuclear weapons are inanimate objects, they can't go off by themselves.
Criminals don't obey laws, so obviously thousands of criminals are walking around with nukes.
There are thousands of responsible nuclear weapon owners throughout the world that have not used their nukes to harm a single person.
So c'mon NRA, get with it already!

the SC was able to figure out how to ban private ownership of nukes and still not tread on the 2nd amendment. i think they can do the same with assault style weapons. and more really, next step though. but yeah, close the gun show loopholes and ban assault style weapons and i would think that would be a profound step in the right direction and still maintain the 2nd amendment.
