President Obama: "Fewer gun safety laws don't mean more freedom, they mean more danger."

[kpete]

"I refuse to accept the notion that we couldn't have prevented some of those murders, some of those suicides, kept more families whole -- protected more officers if we had passed some common-sense laws.

"So, look, I understand we won't all agree on this issue. But it's time to be honest -- fewer gun safety laws don't mean more freedom, they mean more danger. Certainly more danger to police, more fallen officers, more grieving families, more Americans terrified that they or their loved ones could be next.

"So I'm going to keep calling on the folks in Congress to change the way that they think about gun safety. And if they don't, I'm going to keep on calling on Americans to change the folks in Congress until they get it right."

Obama said people"watching certain television stations or listening to certain radio programs" should not believe that he's "out to take everybody's guns away."

1. Exactly right, Mr. President. nt

2. 300,000,000 guns in America? 30,000 gun deaths a year. Why are they needed, again?

Only funeral homes and the gun factory owners seem to be delighted with that.

3. Two places to start

Strengthen the background check system (to include universal background checks).
Fund the ATF adequately so they can crack down on illegal gun trafficking.
