Abstract

“My biggest frustration [as President] so far is the fact that this

society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the

hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage.”2 “We know that

other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have . . . [managed] to

craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings. Friends of ours; allies of

ours—Great Britain, Australia; countries like ours.”3

–President Barack Obama
