Obama urges Congress to pass gun-control legislation 100 days after Newtown | The Ticket - Yahoo! News
"If we are serious, we will do it," Obama said, Vice President Joe Biden at his side. "We have cried enough. We have known enough heartbreak. Now, it’s time to turn that heartbreak into something real."
As the mothers of the children killed by gun violence wiped away tears, the president went on to urge the passage of background checks for gun buyers, and for loopholes to be closed for buyers who turn around and sell guns to criminals. He said 90 percent of Americans support background checks, as well as 80 percent of gun owners and 80 percent of Republicans."
Do it, Congress. You have our approval. Special interests must not stand in the way of Democracy.
