Barack Obama: “Our best defenses against this threat are well-informed and equipped families, local communities, and institutions.”

No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed.

People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.

And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.
