He later recited the names of every child and adult killed during the Sandy Hook shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cPerhaps the most bitter disappointment of my time in office, the closest I came to being cynical, was the utter failure of Congress to respond in the immediate aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings,\u201d Obama said. \u201cTo see almost the entire GOP, but also a decent number of Democrats equivocate and hem and haw and filibuster and ultimately bend yet again to pressure from the gun lobby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He then went on to decry the continuation of gun violence in the country, citing the statistic that there has not been a week in 2022 without a mass shooting in the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cWe are unique among nations in tolerating the proliferation of guns on our streets and allowing civilians to routinely purchase high-powered weapons of war. Nobody else does this,\u201d he continued. \u201cThose who profit from this Congress know how to feed our fear and exploit our divisions and distract us to specious arguments that carnage and mayhem are somehow the price of our freedom. And even though most of us know better, even though not just the majority of Americans, but the majority of responsible gun owners understand that something fundamental needs to change, collectively we still refuse to act on what the data and common sense tell us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    While saying that he has hope for a cessation in violence, thanks to the work of organizations such as the Sandy Hook Promise, as well as the passage of President Joe Biden\u2019s recent gun violence legislation, Obama said that he still finds himself getting angry. He urged others to use that anger to act.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cI will admit, I still get angry every time I read about the latest senseless shooting, whether it is in a church or a synagogue, in a grocery store or on a college campus or in a home or on a city street,\u201d Obama said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThe good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> is that, as of late, I sense that slowly, steadily, the tide may be turning,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    While acknowledging the anger and sadness that surrounds the issue, McConaughey, who has been an outspoken advocate for gun reform in the wake of the Ulvade school shooting, marveled at the response of the parents behind the Sandy Hook Promise and called for greater attention to be paid to the methods being taken to combat gun violence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cI think it\u2019s time that we start selling, evangelizing and celebrating prevention,\u201d McConaughey said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
