WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced Thursday that the Obama administration will release a series of reforms to the nation’s current gun law.

While Carney did not lay out an exact date plan, he said the reform process is expected to begin “not far in the future.”

The Department of Justice meetings commenced not too long later and have continued over the course of several months, according to an administration official. They are now finished.
