YouTube Description
as posted by the channel" Will Friday's tragic shooting at a Connecticut elementary school prompt a new push for stricter federal gun laws?
Many, including White House press secretary Jay Carney, said that a debate over gun-control legislation should wait for another day. But others urged public officials to think of the massacre as a call to act.
President Barack Obama, who has remained relatively silent on the gun debate during his first term, mourned the shooting victims during an emotional statement from the White House on Friday afternoon. But he also hinted that policy changes could be taken up in the future."*
President Obama got tearful addressing the 20 children gunned down in their Connecticut school. Will this be the push to finally enact reasonable gun control? If Obama is motivated, can he push past the GOP and NRA? What arguments do pro-gun lobbyists have, and are they more important than the deaths of 20 children and 6 adults in their school? Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies), and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) discuss the matter in detail.
