I think this is a step in the right direction. And I'm glad that we have a president that will keep to his word.

I agree with the background checks, but banning "assault weapons"? Many people with rifles, most of which now fall under the media's definition of an "assault weapon", use them for target shooting. Hell, I have a .22 that looks like an assault weapon, are they going to take that away from me? Why not actually try to reinforce the educational system with ways of stopping people from becoming violent? How? I don't know, why don't you ask Mr. President with all of the money and a horrible plan to deal with gun violence that lets him not have to use most of the money.
