President Barack Obama on Tuesday unveiled new executive actions on gun measures, saying, "The constant excuses for inaction no longer do, no longer suffice."

"Instead of thinking of how to solve the problem, this has become one of our most polarized, partisan debates," Obama said from the White House, with victims of gun violence around him. "We do need to feel a sense of urgency about it."

Obama has been frustrated by the lack of congressional action on gun control measures, despite a spree of mass shootings throughout his presidency. He has issued more than 20 executive actions in an attempt to tighten loopholes regarding gun sales and background checks, but says the national conversation about guns must change in America.

The actions announced on Tuesday include a more detailed definition of which gun sellers must apply for a federal dealers license and conduct background checks. The administration is also finalizing a few other rules such as new requirements for reporting guns lost or stolen in transit, and a measure that would allow more mental health records to be submitted to the federal background check registry by removing patient privacy limits.
