"president obama came face to face thursday with americans passionate about gun control -- answering tough questions from both sides -- and trying again to dispel what he called a conspiracy (president barack obama) we put out a proposal that is common sense, modest, does not claim to solve every problem, is respectful o othe second amemement, and the way it is described is that we're trying to o ke away everybody's guns. he heard from: taya kyle, the wife of murdered american sniper chris kyle, (taya kyle, wife of chris kyle) the thing is that the laws that we create happening. gabby giffords, the congresswoman shot five years ago and her husband, astronaut mark kelly, (mark kelly, astronaut -- or -- husband of gabby giffords) gabby and i are both gun owners. we take gun ownership very seriously. conspicuously missing from the crowd at george mason university however, the n-r-a leadership, which declined c-n-n's invitation. (president barack obama) i'm happy to meet with them, i'm happy to talk to them but the conversation has to be based on fact and truth and what we're actually proposing. the president's executive actions would expand background checks and narrow the so- called gun show loophole, which exempts many small and private sellers from keeping records. an arizona sheriff wanted to know how that would keep guns from the hands of criminals or the mentally ill.. (president barack obama) look crime is always going to be with us, so i think it's important to us not to suggest that, if we can't solve every crime, we shouldn't solve any crimes. and perhaps what is most being taken away from this, from critics and those who watched alike, is the tone of the event. it was very respectful but that doesn't really take away from just how thorny this issue is. a new cnn/orc poll found that the majority of americans support the measures in the president's executive action but less than half anything to cut violence. i'm dianne gallagher in washington.
