References California school shooting. "in the month since 20 precious children and 6 brave adults more than 900 americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun. 900 in a month. Every day we wait that number will keep growing."

"900 hundred americans have died at the end of a gun in the last month"...... seriously? how many of them were purchased legally?

"There is no law or set of laws that can prevent every act of senseless violence completely...if there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there is even one life that can be saved then we have an obligation to try."

 

"As soon as I am finished here I will sit at that desk and sign a directive that will... make it easier to reduce violence."

How many were by "high capacity mags" or AR's?

"Will direct CDC to study best ways to reduce gun violence...research into ways violent video games affect young minds"

"As soon as I am finished here I will sit at that desk and sign a directive that will... make it easier to reduce violence."

 

Yup. And we won't have a clue what it is till it's in-force.

Can't be. He can't sign an executive order on anything regulated by congress. That HAS to go through congress.

Put more cops back on the job, back on our streets.

"I believe the 2nd amendment guarantees an individual the ability to own arms....I also beleive most gun owners believe we can respect the 2nd amendment whle preventing an irresponsible few from (wreaking havoc)"

 

"Reforms are common sense measure, have the support of the majority of the american people"

2nd amendment aside, the complete disregard for reason and logic behind any of these bans is staggering.
