Obama calls for action after Navy Yard shooting tragedy

President Barack Obama urged Americans to reject resignation over gun violence at a memorial for 12 victims at the Washington Navy Yard. He identified shooter Aaron Alexis, a 34 year old former Navy reservist, and called for tougher gun laws, better mental health care, and stronger security at military facilities.

Gaps in background checks hinder gun control effort

The Navy Yard shootings highlight flaws in the FBI run NICS system aimed at barring gun sales to the mentally ill and others. Despite laws, most mentally ill people aren’t flagged, involuntary commitments are undercounted, and VA record sharing remains limited.
