Corn on Hardball: Obama Needs to Keep Pushing Gun Control


As Republicans in Congress vow to filibuster proposed gun control legislation, President Obama made a moving speech in Newtown where he asked the public to stand up for stricter gun laws. Watch DC bureau chief David Corn discuss how Obama could win this struggle with Congress with The Grio‘s Joy Reid and host Chris Matthews on MSNBC‘s Hardball.

David Corn is Mother Jones’ Washington bureau chief. For more of his stories, click here. He’s also on Twitter.

THANK YOU.

We recently wrapped up the crowdfunding campaign for our ambitious Mother Jones Corruption Project, and it was a smashing success. About 10,364 readers pitched in with donations averaging $45, and together they contributed about $467,374 toward our $500,000 goal.

That's amazing. We still have donations from letters we sent in the mail coming back to us, so we're on pace to hit—if not exceed—that goal. Thank you so much. We'll keep you posted here as the project ramps up, and you can join the hundreds of readers who have alerted us to corruption to dig into.
