Banning a gun for the way it looks it not going to prevent anything!! Never has, never will.. Timothy Mcvee used a van loaded with fertilizer and diesel that killed hundreds and demolished a federal building. Terrorist using box cutters and airplanes killed thousands. Did we ban airplanes and automobiles? Drunk drivers in automobiles kill hundreds of people every year!!! Abortions kill millions of innocents every year,have you band abortion clinics??? More people were killed with hammers than guns, I don't hear anyone trying to band hammers.
What you are doing is a knee jerk reaction and using a sad occurrence to promote an agenda. especially displaying children on T.V. to promote his agenda. Very Sad!!!
If you really wanted to help keep our children safe, how about placing an undercover armed guard in the schools ? Here's a chance for you to reduce unemployment. How about offering a returning veteran this position? I can't think of a more qualified person!! He or she is probably more qualified than many local police officers, since they have faced fire where most police officers have never been confronted that way.
It's time for real solutions, not political solutions.

The White House, Washington

Hello --

Today President Obama announced a plan to help protect our kids and communities from gun violence. You're going to hear a lot about it, but I wanted to make sure you got a chance to get the facts, straight from me.

After hearing from Americans from across the political spectrum, we decided to focus on some key priorities: closing background check loopholes, banning military-style assault weapons, making our schools safer, and increasing access to mental health services.

The ideas we sent to President Obama are straightforward. Each of them honors the rights of law-abiding, responsible Americans to bear arms. Some of them will require action from Congress; the President is acting on others immediately. But they're all commonsense and will help make us a little safer.

Now is the time for all of us to act.

Read about the events that brought us to this point, learn about the plan we've proposed to help protect our kids, and then add your name in support to help build momentum for this plan.

Here's what we've put together:

We're calling for requiring background checks for all gun sales and closing the loopholes that allow dangerous individuals to make their purchase without going through one of these checks.

We're asking for a new, stronger ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that allow a shooter to fire dozens of bullets as quickly as he can pull a trigger. And we're asking Congress to help protect law enforcement by make it illegal for members of the public to possess armor-piercing bullets.

We're going to give law enforcement more tools and resources to prevent and prosecute gun crimes, and we're going to end the freeze on gun violence research that prevents the Center from Disease Control from looking at the causes of gun violence.

We're calling on Congress to help make schools safer by putting up to 1,000 school resource officers and mental health professionals in schools and ensuring they have comprehensive emergency management plans in place.

And we're going to increase coverage so that students and young adults can get access to the mental health treatment they may need.

We know that no policy we enact or law we enforce can prevent every senseless act of violence in our country. But if we can save the life of even one child, we have a deep responsibility to act.

Now is the time to come together to protect our kids. Learn about the plan, then add your name alongside mine:
