US President Barack Obama is expected to announce executive actions on guns as early as next week after he returns from Hawaii, according to a report. The changes would include requiring more small-scale gun sellers to be licensed and expanding background checks on gun sales, Politico reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with proposals. Other measures would require citizens to report guns that are lost or stolen.
