WASHINGTON - Even as he prepares to take action on gun violence on his own authority, President Obama could turn to another source of potential source of executive action: The nation's governors. The White House is in talks with governors and other state and local officials as part of a bottom-up strategy to better enforce gun laws at both the state and local level.
It seems like every we look up there is another incident of domestic terrorism, and specifically, to use the language that President Obama has been perplexingly wary of using, radical Islamist terrorism. From the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013, to the more recent shooting in San Bernardino, the "lone wolf attack" feels like the new American reality.
