Obama: Action needed to stop mass shootings
from MarketWatch.com - MarketPulse
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- America must unite behind some policy action "regardless of the politics" to prevent more mass shootings, President Barack Obama said Friday. "We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years," he remarked. "We are going to have to come together to take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics." Obama's comment came after a gunman apparently killed as many as 27 people, including 18 children and nine adults, at a Connecticut elementary school. Obama choked up when he described the majority of victims as "beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old."
