President Obama isn’t stopping with his latest bid to tighten gun control, using an emotional speech to call for more efforts tomorrow and the “day after that.”

Keeping his powder dry on his long-term goals until the very end of his White House address on gun control, the president said that his agenda only begun Tuesday with efforts targeting hobby gun sellers.
“That’s what we’re doing today, and tomorrow we should do more, and we should do more the day after that,” he promised.
Obama has previously said that gun control will be his top issue during his last year in office and his promise to continue adding gun-focused executive actions appears to bear that out.
He also tried to rally the public to his side, an effort that has repeatedly failed even after horrific shootings like the election-year killing of children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012.
“If we love our kids and care about their prospects, if we love this country and care about its future, then we can find the courage to vote, we can find the courage to get mobilized and organized, we can find the courage to cut through all the noise, and do what a sensible country would do,” he pleaded.
