Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues: gun control. (Applause.) I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon -- by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.

IMHO, anyone who cares about accuracy or clarity in any national debate about firearms - or who cares about the credibility of our President in such a debate - should wince when he reads the part I emphasized in the quote above. I do.
