NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - President Barack Obama pledged on Wednesday to work with Democrats, Republicans and community leaders to "arrive at a consensus" on how to reduce gun violence across the United States.
Closing out a multi-day trip that began in Aurora, Colorado, where he met with families and victims of the movie theater massacre there, Obama told a mostly African American audience that such tragedies are replayed on a smaller scale in cities throughout the country on a daily basis.
"Every day and a half the number of young people we lose to violence is about the same as the number of people we lost in that movie theater," Obama said in remarks at the National Urban League Conference in New Orleans.
"I'm going to continue to work with members of both parties and with religious groups and with civic organizations to arrive at a consensus around violence reduction."
Discussing or even touching on the issue of gun control in the United States during an election year is risky, and Obama has been careful to avoid making sweeping proposals that could offend gun owners and rally his Republican opponents.
The president made a point of emphasizing his support for the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment, which covers the right to bear arms.

This guy is a serious idiot.
This from the guy who sits in the Oval Office playing pocket pool and throwing down playing cards deciding who lives and who dies in drone strikes.
Nice
He says what?
The ‘get in their faces’ pusher says what?
The race baiter says what?
Mitt, Boehner and the rest had better not bite.
You forgot the Lame Duck Alert. :-)
This guy is a serious idiot.

No. He’s DANGEROUS.
Alinsky Jr is not letting a good crisis go to waste.
“Every day and a half the number of young people we lose to violence is about the same as the number of people we lost in that movie theater,”
How many do we lose to auto accidents?
The Mexican drug cartels THAT YOU ARE ARMING?
The drugs themselves?
Hold my beer and watch this?
How many died in Afghanistan today?
How many died of whatever (insert here)?
He won’t be dangerous for long if he pushes this agenda.
An administration that had no qualms about gun walking
across a national border in a covert attempt to
subvert the second amendment would certainly have no
problem setting up a fragile psychotic to commit a mass
murder to continue that effort.
Folks, it’s that simple.
“When the ends justify the means, all means are justified.”
Tet68 said that.
We just need hundreds of thousands more signs that say:
“This Is A Gun-Free Zone!”
Like the one posted in front of the Aurora movie theater.

How about he work on stopping illegals from crossing our border? Or stop sending billions of dollar outside of US borders...or stop all the welfare fraud...or stop allowing Michelle to go on so many vacations...and stop her from wearing those hideous “designer” clothes....
I think he has some serious splainin to do.
You need to take a long look at your AG before you look at me.

They already crossed the intentional mass murder for political ends Rubicon, long ago. The rest is just a matter of finging the means that won’t get them blown away by the blowback. Which is why they are so intent on disarming the peasants.
