OKLAHOMA CITY – The President calls for action in the wake of last weeks school shooting in Connecticut.

Pres. Obama demanded concrete proposals to deal with gun violence.

That may include new restrictions on weapons and improvements in mental health services.

The president hopes to have recommendations for specific changes by January.

From the governor to the average gun owner, it’s fair to say the President’s speech Wednesday is being met with skepticism here in Oklahoma.

As a gun enthusiast and gun maker, former Sen. Steve Russell opposes stricter gun controls laws.
