It's clear you have little understanding how the political system works. Obama is just one man and does not make decisions solely on his own to change anything. It baffles me why you would make a comment when there is so much on the internet (even if you can't remember anything he said) that belies your opinion.

A tear-stained Barack Obama marked his final year in office with a last-ditch call for US gun control on Tuesday as he outlined new rules that will close important background check loopholes but leave much of the political heavy lifting to his successor.

If people can't purchase marijuana or alcohol at the age of 18, why should they be given access to guns? I have had this conversation with my friends too many times. We shouldn't have to talk about this. This country needs stricter laws to help prevent other kids, like me and my classmates, from ever having to experience this. Words mean nothing. Actions do.

Not true - read the articles and brush up on their politics.

You might consider researching the facts instead of pretending you know.

President Obama’s ambitious effort to overhaul the nation’s gun laws in response to December’s school massacre in Connecticut suffered a resounding defeat Wednesday, when every major proposal he championed fell apart on the Senate floor.

With all the news coverage on it, you'd have to have lived under a rock not to know about it.

President Obama today announced a series of sweeping reforms that will help curb gun violence in our nation.

In front of a crowd that included victims of gun violence, families who lost loved ones to gun violence, elected officials, and school children who had written letters asking him to do something to prevent more senseless massacres like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the President introduced a comprehensive proposal that will make it easier to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and will give law enforcement, schools, mental health professionals, and the public health community the tools they need to help reduce gun violence, and keep our children safe.

Yet people like Obama tried to keep guns out of reach - go figure.

Can thank the opposition at the time for what's happening now and you might brush up on your knowledge of US politics as it's obvious you didn't read the articles.

Like I said, to have any chance at understanding truth one has to first acquire at least some knowledge.

This isn't the Bickering Room. Might want to use your time and read up on the articles - get a grasp of the seriousness of the situation down south. I'll be surprised if anything changes even after this slaughter.

Not sure what your point is except posts will be deleted. I'm more interested in the topic - the rally down south was something else.

Teen survivors of the shooting massacre at a Florida high school this week were among the speakers at a rally for firearm-safety legislation that drew a passionate, sign-waving crowd of hundreds of gun control supporters in Fort Lauderdale.

Emma Gonzalez, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 students and staff were killed Wednesday, wiped tears as she urged the audience at the Saturday rally to fight for firearms restrictions to help prevent further mass shootings.
