"Assault weapons ban reintroduced...." - Quote by Barack Obama

“I think we want to see new voices and new ideas emerge - that's part of the reason why term limits are a really useful thing.”

“We run everything to ground. If you see something, say something. Report your concerns to law enforcement. They will be looked at, they will be reviewed.”

“I would love to see an America where race is understood in the same way that the ethnic diversity of the white population is understood.”

“We have to enforce the laws we've already got, make sure that we're keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, those who are mentally ill. I also share your belief that weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don't belong on our streets. And so what I'm trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally.”

“My biggest frustration so far is the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage. We're the only developed country on Earth where this happens. ... And it happens once a week. And it's a one-day story. ... The country has to do some soul-searching on this.”

“I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”
