“You all might have to attend fewer funerals."
President Obama said on Friday that if lawmakers had responded to his earlier calls for reform of the nation’s gun laws “we might have some more Americans still here with us.”
“You all might have to attend fewer funerals,” he said. “Some families might still be whole.”
Obama made the remarks in the wake of a mass shooting in Charleston, S.C. Nine people were killed at a historic black church in the city on Wednesday evening. Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old white man, has been charged with nine counts of murder in the atrocity.
Obama made the remarks as he asserted that he would not abandon his quest fo stricter gun control.
“I am not resigned,” Obama said at the annual U.S. Conference of Mayors in San Francisco.

I don't feel their is any point listening to anything comes out of his mouth. It's all for his personal agenda Whatever that may be.
By all means we want to keep as many Americans alive as possible.
Only the drugged out criminal killer would have the gun, yeah a real big difference that would have made.
What an idiot! The shooter reloaded several times to continue his killing spree. Limited magazines didn't stop it, but an armed citizen could have! National concealed carry is what works!
More lies from the great deceiver lie lie lie...-Key facts are:The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people..But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people..Puerto Rico tops the world's table for firearms murders as a percentage of all homicides - 94.8%. It's followed by Sierra Leone in Africa and Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean..
