President Obama, all I want for Christmas is an assault weapons ban. I don't want to debate if such a ban could have saved those poor children and teachers in Newtown, I just know that it is, at the very least, a step in the right direction. It would show your commitment to curbing gun violence in America. The ban would limit certain features of semi-automatic weapons and ban high capacity magazines outright. Yes, it would be preferable to go through Congress, but given the current fiscal cliff negotiations, I'm not confident that pursuing an assault weapons ban in the U.S. Legislature would yield any positive results. Issuing an Executive Order is the way to lead on this issue. Please take this step before the next gun tragedy occurs.
