Mr. Obama keeps his guns for life

[DrLeftover]

President Obama signed a law today granting lifetime Secret Service protection to former presidents and their wives.



As it stands now, the measure affects only two presidents -- Obama and predecessor George W. Bush.

Statement from today's press conference.

My understanding is the vice president's going to provide a range of steps that we can take to reduce gun violence, said Obama. Some of them will require legislation, some of them I can accomplish through executive action. And so I will be reviewing those today, and as I said, I will speak in more detail to what we're going to go ahead and propose later in the week. But I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation and that are within my authority as president, and where you get a step that, has the opportunity to reduce the possibility of gun violence, then i want to go ahead and take it.
