While Republicans in Congress stalled and squalled, thousands of men, women, and young children in our country have suffered and died because of lax regulations that allow these deadly weapons into the wrong hands. Consistently backward and shameful efforts to block sensible gun reform make Washington Republicans complicit in these tragedies &#8211; but we as a nation cannot and should not allow the lives of those we lost to be in vain. The executive action signed by President Obama will close dangerous loopholes in our current gun laws and tighten reporting requirements so that fewer guns end up on our streets and in our communities. This is a critical step on the path to ending the fatal epidemic of gun violence in our nation. I thank President Obama for taking action.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tragedia tras terrible tragedia han demostrado, sin lugar a dudas, que el tiempo para el control de armas en la esfera federal de la manera m\u00e1s estricta est\u00e1 m\u00e1s que atrasado. Mientras los Republicanos de Washington trataron de detener y desviar, miles de hombres, mujeres y ni\u00f1os en este pa\u00eds han sufrido y muerto por consecuencia de las regulaciones laxas que permiten que estas armas mortales caigan en las manos equivocadas. Los esfuerzos vergonzosos para detener la reforma de las regulaciones sobre armas convierte a los Republicanos en c\u00f3mplices de estas tragedias &#8211; pero como naci\u00f3n no se debe y no se puede permitir que estas vidas de quienes hemos perdido sean en vano. La orden ejecutiva firmada por el Presidente Obama cerrar\u00e1 lagunas peligrosas en las leyes actuales sobre armas y tendr\u00e1 unos requisitos m\u00e1s estrictos para hacer reportes y evitar que m\u00e1s armas terminen en las calles y comunidades. Este es un paso importante en el camino para acabar con la epidemia de violencia con armas en este pa\u00edas. Le doy las gracias al Presidente Obama por tomar acci\u00f3n.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Tragedy after terrible tragedy has proven beyond doubt that the time for stringent federal gun control is long overdue.
