Obama Admin Dismisses Talk of New Gun Control Laws

HeadlineJul 23, 2012

In the aftermath of the Aurora tragedy, the Obama administration has already ruled out a push to change the nation’s gun control laws. On Sunday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters: “The president’s view is that we can take steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them, under existing law.” Holmes is currently being held in solitary confinement at an Aurora jail, ahead of his first court appearance today.
