Arkansas Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Dustin McDaniel says President Barack Obama's gun control plan is "distressing."
   McDaniel's remarks on Thursday come a day after Obama signed 23 executive actions, including orders to make more federal data available for background checks and to end a freeze on government research on gun violence.
   McDaniel told The Associated Press that the biggest concern for state attorneys general is whether the president's executive orders infringe on people's constitutional rights.
   The attorney general's comments come nearly a month after the only announced Republican candidate for the 2014 gubernatorial race, former U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson, was tapped to head a National Rifle Association effort to push for armed officers in the nation's schools.
