Obama announces gun actions
President Obama announced a series of executive actions on guns Tuesday, focusing on the victims of gun violence in a White House event intended to prod Congress to take further action. Speaking to an East Room audience packed with the families of gun violence victims, gun owners and gun control advocates, an often emotional Obama singled out former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded in a mass shooting in Tuscon, Ariz., five years ago this week. “I know the pain that she and her family have endured these past five years,” Obama said. “And then I think of all the Americans who are not as fortunate. Every single year, 30,000 Americans have their lives cut short by gun violence”/ USA Today . More here.
