Letter: State lawmakers should follow President Obama's lead on gun safety

I don't think I've ever been so proud of an American president as I was watching President Obama speak so movingly about the victims of recent gun violence and the executive actions he was going to take to curb the country's epidemic of gun violence. What tremendous courage — guts, really — to stand up against the NRA and call for sensible, responsible gun control measures to keep kids and others in our society safer and more secure.
