President Obama has indicated: "This is not normal. We can't let it become normal. If we truly care about this, if we're going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience, then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons on the streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough."
