pressure on Congress Monday to pass tough new gun
legislation, seeking help from law enforcement
leaders in three communities that have suffered the
horrors of mass shootings.
At a White House meeting, Obama said that no group
is more important in the gun debate and he said he
recognizes the issue "elicits a lot of passion all across
the country." But Obama also said he believes
Congress will respond to appeals from police.
"Hopefully if law enforcement officials who are
dealing with this stuff every single day can come to
some basic consensus in terms of steps that we need
to take," he said, "Congress is going to be paying
attention to them, and we'll be able to make
progress."
