Obama Surrenders on Gun Control

There were two emotions evident in President Obama’s statement about the murders of nine people at a church in South Carolina last night, Chris Cillizza writes.

“The first was anger — at the fact that he was, once again, addressing the country in the wake of a mass shooting. The second was more along the lines of resignation — a head-shaking weariness about the almost-certain fact that this latest shooting would do little to move the needle on gun control legislation.”
