at a town hall right here on cnn last night. the president answering questions from a gun executive, sheriff, rape survivor and widow who all oppose his executive actions on gun violence that he announced this week. the president pushed back against the claim he wants to take guns away from law abiding americans, which he called an imaginary fiction. he took questions from people who agree with his plan to expand background checks. among them mark kelly, the husband of gabby giffords, who was wounded in a gravely shooting. >> this continues and in the new york times op-ed looks ahead to election season. the president writes, i will not campaign or vote for any candidate in my party who does not support common sense gun reform. the statement seems aimed at democrats running in tight races
