Wed Jan 16 17:08:19 +0000 2013 "Finally, Congress needs to help rather than hinder law enforcement as it does its job." Wed Jan 16 17:08:41 +0000 2013 "We should get tougher on people who buy guns with the express purpose of turning around and selling them to criminals." —President Obama Wed Jan 16 17:09:25 +0000 2013 President Obama: "Let me be absolutely clear: like most Americans, I believe the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms." Wed Jan 16 17:10:24 +0000 2013 "The only way we can change is if the American people demand it." —President Obama Wed Jan 16 17:13:42 +0000 2013 "The most important changes we can make depend on congressional action. They need to bring these proposals up for a vote." Wed Jan 16 17:17:02 +0000 2013 "Along with our freedom to live our lives as we will comes an obligation to allow others to do the same." —President Obama Wed Jan 16 17:19:34 +0000 2013 "Let’s do the right thing for them, and for this country we love so much." —President Obama Wed Jan 16 17:52:45 +0000 2013 RT @whitehouse: #NowIsTheTime to protect our children & our communities by reducing gun violence.
