Message: From GoLocalProv by Rob Horowitz, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: President Obama last week unveiled a comprehensive package of executive orders and proposed legislative initiatives designed to reduce the gun violence that plagues our nation and to limit the number of future Newtown-like tragedies. The President’s proposals include providing universal background checks by closing the gun show loophole which now results in 40% of guns being purchased without a background check, bolstering the existing background check system by ensuring that all the people that should be denied the ability to purchase a gun are on the list, reinstating and strengthening the assault weapons ban, limiting the capacity of magazines to 10 bullets, and providing greater protection at schools by offering incentives to hire School Resource Officers, among other provisions. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/rob-horowitz-obama-proposes-common-sense-gun-policies
