Obama: Gun Ownership Now a Divisive Ideological Issue in America
Former President Barack Obama has called for a dialogue about gun violence in America, stating that gun ownership has become an "ideological" and "partisan" issue. Obama's comments come as the US recently surpassed 200 mass shootings so far this year. The Obama Foundation has announced an initiative called My Brother's Keeper to help young men of color and their communities "remain safe from violent crime." According to a recent CBS News poll, three in four Americans say mass shootings are something we could "prevent and stop if we really tried."
