Arizona Lawmakers Seek to Bypass Obama’s Gun Control

“First graders…and from every family who never imagined their loved one would be taken our lives by a bullet from a gun…every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad”. But they want more.

Ludlow already performs background checks, but said once the gun leaves his store, he has no control.

If you are headed to the Indianapolis Gun and Knife show next weekend, don’t expect there to be much of a difference.

The President also outlined a plan to ask Congress for $500m (£340m) to expand access to treatment for mental illness across the country, and announced expansions on government research into gun safety measures.

Even if a gun is sent to someone’s doorstep, Henry added, a background check will need to be completed upon that buyer receiving their weapon.

Heinrich said the U.S.is “weary from violence, tragedy and grief”, and that Congress needs to take action on gun control.

Hoosiers looking to purchase a gun at the Indy Trading Post Tuesday were not all opposed to the President’s executive action.

“No matter what President Obama says, his word does not trump the Second Amendment”, House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a tweet as Obama unveiled his executive actions.

In 2015 alone, there were 330 reported mass shootings in the US according to the Gun Violence Archive but the president acknowledged that his executive actions would not prevent all gun violence in the county.

He said Americans need to be “just as passionate” as the NRA in changing gun laws. It seems customers are not waiting to see how the courts interpret President Obama’s moves to crack down on background checks for firearm sales both at gun shows and on the internet.

The president plans to have additional funding for ATF and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to handle extra background checks after a record number in Florida past year, something the gun rights group Florida Carry says they are OK with.

There is a growing consensus, among gun owners and non-gun-owners alike, that we can strengthen our background check system without infringing on the rights of law-abiding Americans.

“And by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day”, said the United States president as he paused for a moment to control his emotions.

Tears stained Obama’s face as the audience applauded in agreement.
