Several Republicans threatened to use Congress’s annual spending bills to hit back at gun control policies announced by President Obama on Tuesday, furious at the president’s attempt to sidestep Congress on such a controversial issue.
Tucson victims of the Jan. 8, 2011 mass shooting praised President Barack Obama's Tuesday announcement that he will expand gun purchase background checks.
Others in Arizona were critical, saying Obama usurped Congress' authority and could make it difficult for some to exercise their right to gun ownership.
