Senate Takes This EPIC Stand Against Obamas Executive Gun Control Order Obama and White House officials are looking to find anyway they canto close the gun loop-hole that allows people to purchase firearms without a background check. In the past President Barack Obama has used events like the Sandy Hook Elementary school school shooting to push a bill through that would increase restrictions on people trying to purchase firearms. Again on Thursday Obama attempted to push a similar bill through. Republicans in the Senate however blocked his and several others efforts to add control provisions to a budget measure. According to the LA Times, Requiring background checks for all weapons sales might not have had any effect on Wednesdays shootings in San Bernardino in which at least 14 people were killed. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has determined that Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the two shooters, legally purchased two of the weapons at a gun shop in Corona. Two others were legally purchased and given to him by a friend, federal officials said Thursday. This is not a gun problem, this is a people problem. Do you support the 2nd Amendment?
