If you look at the number that have been killed by gun violence, it\u2019s in the tens of thousands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the lead up to this statement, Obama mentioned \u201cmass killings\u201d with guns but did not mention mass killings or attempted mass killings in which those holding the guns were jihadists.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He said, \u201c<em>The United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense, gun-safety laws.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, it is not that America does not have gun control. Rather, it is that Americans increasingly see that gun control does not stop criminals from acting out their criminality, therefore support for more gun laws has waned.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the push to expand background checks to cover more types of sales had a lot of momentum nearly three years ago, then Americans noticed that those behind the high profile, mass killings were passing background checks to get their guns. Since Sandy Hook alone (December 2012), attackers and alleged attackers like John Russell Houser (Lafayette),\u00a0Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez (Chattanooga),\u00a0Dylann Roof (Charleston),\u00a0Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi (Garland),\u00a0Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas),\u00a0Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Andrew John Engeldinger (Minneapolis), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), and Tennis Melvin Maynard (West Virginia), acquired guns via a background check. So what benefit do Americans gain from expanding such checks?<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Obama is determined to keep pushing more laws.
