HOW STATES MUST PASS GUN REFORM (2078 hits)



According to an NBC News article, President Barack Obama's frustration over the stymied status of federal gun control reform isn't new.

After all, he sounded similar notes after similar senseless tragedies in such places as Aurora, Colorado, and Newtown, Connecticut — each time urging congressional action.

"Every country has violent, hateful or mentally unstable people. What's different is not every country is awash with easily accessible guns," the president told a gathering Friday at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in San Francisco. "So I refuse to act as if this is the new normal or to pretend that it's simply sufficient to grieve, and that any mention of doing something to stop it is somehow politicizing the problem."

And each time, legislative action fell short.

This time too, despite the president's pointed remarks about gun violence and the political roadblocks to gun policy reform in the wake of the Charleston church shooting, it is unlikely that Washington will revisit the issue.
