The L.A. Times: “President Obama stepped up his public commitment to specific gun control measures Friday by asking a like-minded audience to rally around his efforts to pass them.”
“President Barack Obama plans to observe a moment of silence at the White House on Friday morning in honor of the victims of the Connecticut elementary school massacre,” AP notes. “The White House says the president will observe the moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. EST, about one week after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.”

Only when politicians stop worrying about the next election will are country be great again.
The 'next election' is paramount for some. Fear of losing that great government job!...While they simultaneously lack governing ability....Absolutely refuse to govern!
Fear of Grover, Fear of the NRA, Fear of Freedom Works, Fear of Big Money.
Many House Republicans have no fear of the next election, and that is a big problem. The American people loudly rejected their agenda in the last election and they responded by saying, "Whatever. I don't work for you. I work for the billionaires who fund me and the compliant, brainwashed masses in my gerrymandered district work for me."
If Mitch McConnell was an honest person, which he isn't, he would get in front of a camera like he did in 2010 and say "my number one priority for the next two years is to get me reelected".
you can not buy a gun before your 29 birthday without a legal guardian present,gun owners must keep their guns locked up in a safe when their not home.A couple simple rules,might help.As far as violent movies ,video games,nonsense,I just don't believe it has any thing to do with some young kid,going on a rampage,I've been killing Zombies for 40 years.
That jerk wayne from the nra said we should put guns in all the schools, and give them to teachers too. hey wayne were do we get the money, is the nra going to fund it? The next time the unions go for a contract they could argue for combat pay for the teachers. You never once said anything about guns, yet when YOU, YOU A$$HOLE had a chance to put a weapon in your hands by serving our MILITARY you ran like a scared rabbit YOU PIECE OF SH@T. Load this in your gun you SCUMBAG.
