I couldn't agree more. His new executive actions include steps that I’ve been advocating for throughout this campaign. We are losing 90 people a day to gun violence, so the President is right: this is a national crisis. And, as he said, voters should not support any candidate who does not support common-sense gun reform. The stakes are too high.
