On the day that President Barack Obama will announce an agenda for curbing gun violence following last month’s shooting at a Connecticut school, the National Rifle Association is running an ad labeling Obama an “elitist hypocrite” because his own children receive armed protection.
Obama plans to propose executive actions and legislative proposals at an 11:55 a.m. White House appearance today with Vice President Joe Biden, who developed the plan in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings, which killed 20 first- graders and six educators on Dec. 14. Following those shootings, the NRA proposed armed guards for all the nationÂ’s schools. |
