So the president has decided that he’s going to take “executive action” on gun control, and naturally he had to give a big self aggrandizing speech to announce his intentions to the world. It’s impossible for this guy to open his mouth on guns without telling some whoppers, so let’s have some fun and count the ridiculous lies he and his administration are pushing today.
Gun Nuts provides us with a plethora of pedantic presidential postulations (aka: "LIES"), which include:
You can buy guns right off the internet with no background check (patently untrue)
1 in 30 people looking to buy guns on one website had criminal records (impossible to confirm or refute without details ... but it sounds just like a lie; how did 'they' know, and ignores NCIS vetting of purchases)
We need the wide majority of responsible gun owners to join us to demand something better ("All of us need to demand a congress brave enough to stand up to the gun lobby's lies".) A lie not because Obama's statement of intent is inaccurate, but the statement implies that "responsible gun owners" consider Obama's definition of "Something Better" ... further restrictions on responsible gun ownership ... to be an admirable goal.
More than 30,000 Americans die from gun violence every year. (A lie because it uses statistics selectively and without definition; that number includes defensive use, etc.)
[there are more, but gun nuts quit out of exasperation]
Maybe it's time to re-run this 2012 parody:

Not with standing his aggrandizement, Obama has an approximate 43% approval rating and about 50% of population who think he is doing a good job of being president. He is a popular and trusted president with half of the population,
