Obama Moves Toward Executive Action on Gun Control

HeadlineJan 04, 2016

President Obama is meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch today to discuss possible executive action on gun control. Obama announced the meeting in his weekly address, citing inaction by Congress.

President Barack Obama: “A few months ago, I directed my team at the White House to look into any new actions I can take to help reduce gun violence. And on Monday, I’ll meet with our attorney general, Loretta Lynch, to discuss our options, because I get too many letters, from parents and teachers and kids, to sit around and do nothing.”
