Blocked by Congress from expanding gun sale background checks, President 
Obama is turning to actions within his own power to keep people 
from buying a gun who are prohibited for mental health reasons.Federal law 
bans certain mentally ill people from purchasing firearms, but not all states 
are providing data to stop the prohibited sales to the FBI's background 
check system. A federal review last year found 17 states contributed fewer 
than 10 mental health records to the database, meaning many deemed by 
a judge to be a danger still could have access to guns.The 
Obama administration was starting a process Friday aimed at removing barriers 
in health privacy laws that prevent some states from reporting information 
to the background check system. The action comes two days after the 
Senate rejected a measure that would have required buyers of firearms online 
and at gun shows to pass a background check. That's already required 
for shoppers at licensed gun dealers.Stung by the defeat, Obama vowed to 
keep up the fight for the background check expansion but also to 
do what he could through executive action."Even without Congress, my administration 
will keep doing everything it can to protect more of our communities," 
Obama said from the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate voted. "We're

divided by clan rivalries, and increasingly dominated by conflicts between 
those seeking to establish a secular government and Islamist militants. 
With the civilian government not only divided, but also hugely corrupt and 
deeply involved in organized crime, the Islamists found plenty of popular 
support.(The local residents converted to Islam in the 16th Century as local 
tribes allied themselves with the Ottoman Empire to the south against the 
Russians.)When Islamists sought in 1999 to expand their efforts to neighboring 
Dagestan, another Muslim-majority province, the government in Moscow cracked 
down. Vladimir Putin campaigned on retaking the region and when he took 
office in 1999, the former KGB agent struck hard.The brutal Russian campaign 
swiftly captured the nominal capital of the region, eliminating the government 
of the breakaway region in a matter of weeks. But Islamist rebels 
returned to the mountains and kept up the fight. Soon after, perhaps 
with aid from international Islamist terrorists, they launched their campaign 
against the Russian civilian population.The horror at incidents like the 
theater and school raids mentioned above increased support for Putins hard-line 
stance. Russian raids in the region continued and Putin installed a Russian 
client regime in the regional government.Thousands of Chechens have fled 
the region during the last 20 years, sometimes taking their troubled history
