“One child every three hours. Enough.”

Even as a government spending crisis nears, President Obama and Vice President Biden have been working steadily on gun control measures, both in public and private.

President Obama signs 23 Executive Orders to aid in the reduction of gun violence on January 16, 2013. He calls on Congress to take further actions.
The first “Day of Action” will feature more than 100 events in 80 different congressional districts. An official with the group said the events include “Letter to the editor writing parties, or rallies and press events,” along with candlelight vigils. Just like campaign events in 2008 and 2012, the supporters organized “what they thought was the best event for their community,” the official said.
The effort launched with a to-the-camera video from Sami Rahamim, whose father was killed in a workplace shooting. “We’ve lost enough friends and family members and fellow Americans,” Rahamim says. “It’s time to do something about this.”
