We are never going to get a serious grip on gun violence in this country until we adopt comprehensive measures to keep guns away from those who should not have them,

We recognize that violence is a learned behavior. One of the best classrooms for learning violence is in the home.

We will not back down in the face of terrorism, ... We'll carry on and do our duty to the country and the people, and we will not be intimidated by terrorism.

I felt joyful at the public's criticism. People come to the country for free speech. It's what America is all about,

My earnest hope is that what we started in terms of building partnerships with communities across America will continue, that we will continue our efforts to reduce crime and violence.

This is a beautiful country. Each of us has a favorite river, a mountain, just a patch of sky for some of us. I want to use the law to make sure that the waters, the land, and the skies of this nation are protected.
