Obama addresses nation on gun violence more times than he’s given State of The Union speeches

Why the president has had to address mass murder more than any other topic during his presidency.

A sad reality of America today: it has become more routine for President Obama to address the nation on gun violence than give State of the Union addresses.

To date, the president has given four State of the Union speeches. But he’s had to speak to the nation on gun violence a lot more than that.
