There have been eleven shootings in schools in the first 23 days of this year. You said there's a time and place for political debate. What has the President done at the time since October to try to prevent any of these shootings from taking place?
Look, I think, first and foremost, to recognize that any loss of life is incredibly sad in any shooting at any school across this country, something that should never happen. The President believes that all Americans deserve to be safe in their schools and in their communities. We've had two years of increased violence prior to the President taking office. We've tried to crack down on crime throughout the country. The President instructed his administration to make the recent crime wave a top priority.
