WASHINGTON, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Wiping back tears as he remembered children killed in a mass shooting, President Barack Obama on Tuesday ordered stricter gun rules that he can impose without Congress and urged American voters to reject pro-gun candidates.
Obama made it clear he does not expect gun laws to change during his remaining year in office, but pledged to do what he can to make gun control a theme in the months leading up to the November election to replace him.
In a powerful address in the White House, surrounded by family members of people killed in shootings, Obama's voice rose to a yell as he said the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms needed to be balanced by the right to worship, gather peacefully and live their lives.
Obama has often said his toughest time in office was grappling with the December 2012 massacre of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
"Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad," Obama said, tears rolling down his cheek.
"That changed me, that day," he said, after being introduced by Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son was killed in the shooting. "My hope earnestly has been that it would change the country."

Democratic candidates praised the moves.

Granted this shooting in San Bernardino was horrible, but more people have been shot in Chicago.
Meanwhile, the Republicrat Congress sits idly by with their hands in their pockets allowing this evil creation to get away with the destruction of America.
Great. Just what we need.
A mentally ill dictator.
It was all I could do to keep from crying myself. Albeit for much different reason.
Is he trying to out-do the insufferable John Boehner?
Obama is pure filth and evil.
We didn’t see him crying over PlNned Parenthood selling an unborn baby’s eyes after being ripped from its mother’s womb. He is a disgusting phony as 90% of Democrats are.
Planned Parenthood, of course
He's been taking notes.
What a friggin’ WEASEL this Obunga is.
This is a guy who is OK with letting babies who survive abortion die. He is OK with infanticide, but cries over Newtown? I do not buy it.
This bizarre man allows medieval mullahs to become armed with nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles and then becomes obsessed with lawful Americans arming themselves. Over two thousand people mostly minorities have been killed in his “hometown” Chicago during his Presidency. At least Herbert Hoover sent in Federal agents to deal with the violence in that corrupt Democratic town. All this clown can do is cry like a girl.
was he wiping away tears from the wrong corner of his eye again?
We didn’t see an ounce of passion from this criminal after terrorist attacks like the one in San Bernadino.
He didn’t cry over Kathryn Steinle.
An emotionally unstable man with huge secrets is in charge of nuclear weapons. What could go wrong?
Man, that was as fake as Bill Clinton at Ron Brown’s funeral.
Obama shed no tears or even time over all the killings in Baltimore or Chicago.
