The White House Makes THIS Disgusting Announcement About The Live TV Shooting [VIDEO] Just hours after the deadly shooting of a news crew in Virginia, White House Josh Earnest was already pushing gun control in the United States. This is another example of gun violence that is becoming all too common in communities large and small all across the United States, Earnest told reporters, claiming that he had not yet spoken with Obama. While there is no piece of legislation that will end all violence in this country, there are commonsense things that only Congress can do that we know would have a tangible impact in reducing gun violence in this country. Congress can take those steps in a way that would not infringe on the constitutional rights of law abiding Americans. The president has long advocated Congress taking those steps. Of course, that is not that case. Earnest himself noted that Obama has taken a number of executive actions regarding guns. Following his initial statement, one reporter asked Earnest if Obama has intentions of changing the basic constitutional freedom of the Second Amendment. He believes we can actually take commonsense steps that are entirely consistent with protections in the Second Amendment but would have an impact in reducing gun violence in this country, Earnest claimed.
