"Today, President Barack Obama will unveil his gun control proposal in which he may use executive orders to bypass Congress and place strict limitations on Second Amendment rights."
"While the legality of such actions is highly questionable, he also voiced support for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s ... bill [which] is so vague that the ban could be applied to a large majority of firearms."
"For several weeks, the mainstream media has been using often-misleading numbers and statistics to question the safety of such legislation."
"But they fail to address the most important fact, the only fact that proves consistent throughout history – the problem with gun control is not about safety or guns; it is about control." ... |

The semiautomatic rifle that [redacted] used to shoot 20 schoolchildren and 6 adults complied with Connecticut’s assault weapons ban, the police said, and he did not buy the gun himself."
