It cost the massacre of 20 innocent angels for this country to realize how much danger easy access to assault riffles represents. Finally the risk has been minimized a bit; President Obama has recently signed 23 executive orders," which don't require congressional approval -- to strengthen existing gun laws and take related steps on mental health and school safety." President Obama is not only doing what he alone, as president can do,but he is also pleading to Congress if they would reconsider renovating an assault weapon law that ended in 2004.
On a more personal level, being that President Obama is a father himself; I believe that he understands how hurt those parents where. Therefore, he made it his personal goal to ensure that things such as this one will not repeat itself. Many may oppose his decision say that it is unconstitutional, but they are not weighing out the possibilities that one day a dreadful event like this one may affect their own family . As our president said earlier today, "This is our first task as a society -- keeping our children safe."
