奥巴马将推出枪支控制举措
U.S. President Barack Obama said Monday that he will roll out gun-control initiatives over the next several days, stressing that the measures will be "entirely consistent" with the constitutional right to bear arms.
本周一，美国总统奥巴马宣布，未来几天他将推出枪支控制举措，他强调该措施将“完全符合”宪法规定的武器持有权。
Obama made the remarks at the White House with Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director James Comey. He had asked his team to look for executive actions he can take to curb gun violence in the country.
Obama said although the steps will not solve every violent crime or prevent every mass shooting, it will potentially save lives and spare families the pain and extraordinary loss as a consequence of a firearm being in the hands of the wrong people.
"I'm also confident that the recommendations that are being made by my team here are ones that are entirely consistent with the Second Amendment and people's lawful right to bear arms," he said.
In his weekly radio address on Friday, Obama blasted Congress for failing to act on curbing gun violence.
"We know that we can't stop every act of violence. But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something -- anything -- to protect our kids from gun violence?" he said.
