President Obama says action is needed to protect the most vulnerable Americans. “If there is a step we can take that will save even one child from what happened in Newtown we should take that step," he said.
However, gun-control legislation is very controversial in the U.S., where the right to bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution.
Firearms sales have spiked as people rush to buy guns out of concern that stricter laws may be enacted.
Gun owner Bruce Bumgarner said, “Gun control: all it is going to do is take the guns out of the people that obey the law. It is not going to control the outlaws that take the guns to do crimes with them.”
Any new gun control legislation is expected to face fierce opposition from the National Rifle Association and its four-million members.
