President Obama participated in a town hall meeting tonight at George Mason University in an attempt to explain a new wave of executive actions his administration is taking to curb gun violence.
During the forum he was confronted by a rape survivor who said that the president's actions were making it harder for her to keep her family safe. The president also called the notion that he is trying to take people's guns away a "conspiracy."
The president quickly emphasized that he has "respect" for people who want a gun for hunting and sportsmanship, but it "makes sense to keep guns out of hands of people who would do others harm."
Obama and moderator Anderson Cooper pointed out that the National Rifle Association was invited to participate in the forum, but declined to attend. Still, the president said he was "happy" to meet with the NRA to discuss his proposals.
"But the conversation has to be based on facts and truth and what weâre actually proposing, not some imaginary fiction in which Obamaâs trying to take away your guns," Obama stressed.

Remarks by the President in Q&A with David Karp, CEO of Tumblr
June 10, 2014

MR. KARP: Brilliant. This one was sent in a few days ago: "Mr. President, my name is Nick Dineen, and I attend school at the University of California-Santa Barbara.
..Today, another man has shot and killed at least one person and injured three others at a private Christian school in Seattle. What are you going to do? What can we all do?"
THE PRESIDENT:
"A couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that's it - we're not seeing that again. And basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws. And they haven't had a mass shooting since."

Statement by the President on the Shootings at Umpqua Community College, Roseburg, Oregon.

6:22 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: There's been another mass shooting in America - this time, in a community college in Oregon.
[...]
We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings. Friends of ours, allies of ours - Great Britain, Australia, countries like ours. So we know there are ways to prevent it.
