His speech coincides with talks in which a group of nine Republican and Democratic senators have joined since last week to agree on gun control measures.
During his nearly 20-minute White House speech, he repeated over and over, “Enough is enough.” How many more massacres are we willing to accept? How many innocent American lives have to be taken before we say enough is enough?’

“This is not about taking away anyone’s rights. This is about protecting children, about protecting families. This is about protecting entire communities. This is about protecting our freedom to go to school, to a supermarket, to a church,” he condemned.
However, the final word is with the Senate and the Democrats must get the support of 10 Republicans to change the gun laws.
