Mitt Romney tells NBC News

that the USA doesn't need stricter gun laws, the ones we have are adequate unto the purpose (so to speak).

Indeed those laws are entirely adequate, if their express purpose is to ensure lunatics constitutionally guaranteed access to firearms right up to the moment they pump a steel jacketed round thru the brainpan of a toddler.

Okay that was a little over the top...What can I say Humble Elias is just full of "sarcastic rant driven chatter".

But in a larger sense I don't think the founding fathers ever considered the possibility that the NRA would one day via votes, money and intimidation hold such power over the US Congress.

Meanwhile the President is trying to talk reasonably about the whole matter, but he faces tough sledding a divided legislature that is prone to abject surrender before gun lobbyists...In the current atmosphere of capitulation little progress can be made in Washington.
Moreover he is trying to stress "common sense" to his opponents when they themselves have skidded off into screeching delusion decades ago.
