Transcript:
“What the president is focused on in the context of this exercise is very directly on what steps this administration can take to keep guns out of the wrong hands. And we’re not under the illusion that that is going to prevent every incident of gun violence. But if it’s possible that we could prevent even one or two incidents of gun violence, then we’re going to eagerly implement those executive actions, and that’s exactly what the president’s focused on.”
"He's taking these steps because he believes we can save some lives," says @PressSec of exec actions @POTUS will take on guns.

Uh-huh.
Even if the 1 or 2 shootings it prevents are mothers protecting their children when someone breaks into their home? @markknoller @POTUS

That's big government for you. Impose draconian regs on millions to "save" 1. https://t.co/g41Ht3TPKG

If Josh Earnest expects us to believe that President Obama’s really concerned about saving lives, then he’s as stupid as he thinks we are.
Saving lives, Josh? Could’ve fooled us:
Never see this rationale for reducing abortions from death lobby for POTUS. https://t.co/UQc6Z4kETC

Funny, that.
.@markknoller @POTUS Kinda hard to sell the life-saving trope when you're as pro-abortion as #Obama. #2ndAmendment #ExecutiveOrder
