Obama Gun Policy

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign jumped at a chance to portray Democratic rival Sen. Bernie Sanders as being at odds with President Barack Obama on gun control after the president denounced legislation protecting gun-makers from lawsuits.

President Barack Obama proposed a new assault weapons ban and mandatory background checks for all gun buyers on Wednesday as he tried to channel national outrage over the Newtown school massacre into the biggest US gun-control push in decades.

US President Barack Obama will unveil his proposals to curb gun violence at the White House on Wednesday, his spokesman said.

President Barack Obama will announce on Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden will lead an effort to come up with policies to address gun violence amid calls for action following the massacre of 26 people including 20 children in a Connecticut elementary school last week.
