Mr. President stated, "The fact that we can't prevent every act of violence. Doesn't mean that we can't steadily reduce the violence, and prevent the very worst violence."

According to The Washington Post, "White House officials say the eventual package of proposals is likely to include new restrictions on guns, particularly assault weapons, and high-capacity magazines. But they say it will also probably involve measures that touch on mental health initiatives and, as Obama noted Wednesday, a close look “at a culture that, all too often, glorifies guns and violence.”

Many 2nd Amendment supporters don't seem to be enthusiastic in regard to the decision, but others argue that the 2nd Amendment can have limitations. What do you think?
