Obama Speaks About Gun Control at Urban League Conference in New Orleans

For the first time since Friday morning's mass shooting in Colorado, President Obama speaks publicly about gun control, while still making sure Americans know he not going to take away their Second Amendment rights.

"I, like most Americans, believe that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms. I think we recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation... but I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals; that they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities."
