criticism.our jetske wauran spoke with some *local* gun sellers and owners who are reacting to the plans. 3 gun shop owners in sioux city tell me they don't believe president obama's 10-point plan is the best solution. instead, they're saying the president should focus on the real problem."you know it seemed pretty misleading in my opinion. there's a lot of stuff he covered that's already covered by law."chase cjeka is the owner of american brothers in arms, a gun shop in sioux city where customers can purchase guns both in-store and online."anytime you purchase a firearm anywhere online it is required to come to a dealer by law. paul barrett, owner of shooting paradise in sioux city, explains that all licensed dealers have to do a background check for any type of gun.but he also says, guns don't cause violence, it's the people who do."it's not the gun's fault in all reality, it's the person using the gun. it's not the gun's fault." moved to tears, obama recalled hook massacre, that claimed the lives of 21 children."all of us need to stand up and protect its citizens. all of ususeed to demand governors, legislators, and businesses do their part to make their community safer." in an apparent effort to combat recent gun violence, president obama used executive action to impose new restrictions on gun control. those restrictions: a 10 point plan, including requiring dealers who sell firearms on the internet and at gun shows to b blicensed and conduct background checks. "anytime you buy a gun online, it is already legally mandated to go to a dealer."according to the national rifle association, gun laws in the tri-state area- iowa, nebraska and south dakota- "regulate" the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition. president obama insists he is within his constitutional right to take the action bringing about more background checks."you can go online today and buy a gun, it's still going to come to me as a dealer first and we're still background check you would do if you bought the gun here in store."iowa republican senator rick bertrand says the second amendment is a bipartisan issue. "both republicans and democrats that support the second amendment can agree that president obama is overreached."president obama also wants to hire more than 230 additional fbi employees to help process background checks. as part of his push this week - he'll hold a town hall discussion on gun violence thursday. 3 the president is also making some changes in an effort to keep guns out of the hands of people with mental health problems.our senior political reporter scott thuman examines the controversy of "privacy" versus "protection." 3 "we know we can't stop every act of evil in the world, but maybe we can stop one act, one act of violence"and one way, a tearful president obama says he'll do that, is by addressing mental health--with $500 million dollars to increase access to care and just as importantly: some state officials who've been reluctant to share records because of privacy laws, are now free to do so. the goal: fill potentially dangerous gaps in the fbi's database which could prevent gun sales to those considered a risk. (ron honberg/legal director, national alliance on mental illness) "however the concern is that w wnot be overly broad in our reporting."ron honberg, from the national alliance on mental illness applauds the infusion of cash but has concerns about the data sharing. even thoughproviding only a name and not a diagnosis would no longer be considered a hippa violation, it could be a deterrent for people seeking help.(honberg) "that's why we need to dodohis very, very, , carefully and the devil, frankly, is going to be in the details."honberg says while it may seem wise to err on the side of caution, it could also further stigmatize mental health. and some on capitol hill say the president, has gone too far. (rep. marsha blackburn/(r) tennessee) "does hippa need to be updated on several different fronts? yes it does. it is not the president's position or job to do thth. it that statute."(obama) "for those in congress who blame shootings on mental health-- -here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is."(scott thuman/reporting) the white house also wants the social security administration to increase sharing of information, on the roughly 75,000 people a year in *it's* database, who recieve disability benefits for mental health issues.on capitol hill, i'm scott thuman. 3 and we want to know *your* opinon on the president's proposals. 3 we have an online poll at siouxland news dot com... asking whether you think president's executive order is not enough... is it going too far... or is it just right. you can vote online and join the hundreds of people nationwide who've already shared their opinion. 3 accumulations between a trace to 1/2".>> 3 "siouxland news at ten on kmeg 14 with larry wentz, diana castillo, siouxland's chief teorologist chad sandwell and sports director chris 3 "first alert weather with siouxland's chief meteorologist chad sandwell." 3 3 3 3 ad, diana and larry talk about today's weather and the upcoming forecast. 3 enough to keep the fog from fofoing. overnight temperatures won't drop too much, settling in the lower 30s. wednesday will see a slight chance for light snow during the daytime with a high of 34. look for light accumulations between a trace to 1/2". thursday will be an interesting day as we should see clouds for most of it. temperatures will hover near the freezing mark most of the day, and as another system ststts to push in from the southwest, we will start to see a little freezing rain, sleet and snow. that chance will then change over to mostly snow by friday, with snow likely most of the day lingering into early saturday. before all is said and done we could see in the range of 1-3" possible east of i-29 with lesser amounts to the west. once the snow clears, our first push o oarctic air seseles in for the end of the weekend into early next week. stay tuned over the next couple of days as conditions will possibly be changing 3 3 two of the leading presidential candidates spent some time in iowa today. 3 coming up after the break... we'll hear what ted cruz and hillary clinton had to say about today's proposals from 3 3 during a visit to northwest iowa today... texas senator ted cruz criticized the president's plans on gun control.the republican presidential candidate was in siouxland this morning campaigning when the announcement was made. he offered this reaction at a campaign stop in onawa. president obama is announcing new executive orders to try to go after our second amendment right to keep and bear arms, well i can tell you right now those executive orders are not worth the paper their printed on because when you live by the pen you die by the pen and my pen has got an eraser."cruz made another stop this afternoon in cherokee... and he spoke at the de yager center at dordt college in sioux center tonight. 3 meanwhile... on the other side of the aisle, democratic presidential frontrunner hillary clinton was in sioux city this afternoon.our kayla novak was at her event at the orpheum theatre. kayla, what did she have to say? 3 larry, diana...the former secretary of state's appearance came just hours after president obama announced plans aimed at expanding background checks for gun purchases... and improving mental health treatment in america.she says... she supports *both* of those efforts. 3 "i was appaulled when last summer you govenor vetoed a bi- your fououmental health facilities open." four hundred fifty people packed the lobby of the orpheum theatre this afternoon... fo rpresidential hopeful hillary clinton's latest stop in siouxland. her talk included focusing on efforts by the obama administration to improve treatment of mental health issues."we need to remove once and for all the stigma on mental health. we need to get the insurance companies to pay for mental health issues just like they pay for any other issue. we need to do the same to get more treatment for substance abuse." she says she wants to create a tax break for caretakers... and work with state and local agencies as well as non- profit groups to help people in need of treatment.clinton was joined by sioux city state representative chris hall and woodbury county democratic party chair penny rosfjord... both of whom have endorsed her. she also endorsed president obama's action on gun control.
