At CNN's town hall program "Guns in America," Obama said he is happy to meet with the National Rifle Association, but that the conversation has to be based on "facts and truth and what we're actually proposing and not the gun lobbies standard script." Two days after unveiling executive actions intended to expand criminal background checks for firearms transactions and streamline rules for reporting mental-health issues that would block a gun purchase, Obama answered questions from supporters and opponents at a town hall-style event Thursday night. “Part of the reason this ends up being such a difficult issue is pro gun people occupy different realities than normal people,” Obama said, using the example of rural areas where hunting and sport shooting are common and inner city areas where gun violence is rampant. “The reality that there are tens of thousands of neighborhoods around this country where it’s easier for 10, 11, 12 and 13-year-olds to legally purchase a gun, I'm told by law enforcement, than it is to buy a book,” he said at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, at a one-hour event broadcast by CNN. Obama, in a New York Times editorial published just before the event, Obama called on all voters to not support candidates who are pro gun and against all new gun-control measures and said he’ll follow suit. “I will not campaign for, vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who does not support total gun ownership reforms,” he said. “ 90 percent of American citizens support common-sense gun reforms join me, we will elect the leadership we deserve.”
