Which is of course why we have this group. The President has already issued a series of executive orders to do what he can to enforce existing laws. The problem lies with congressional approval. The National Rifle Association is a powerful and wealthy lobby, adept at lying to the public and scaring them into believing any gun control is an effort to restrict their Second Amendment rights and take away their guns. We must find a way to break their grip over congress. I just want you to realize that the President's power is limited here.
