"It's far past time to end the epidemic of gun violence with common-sense gun safety laws."

"[N]o document... is as sacred as precious lives and the need to preserve them through common sense [gun] laws."

"I know basic gun safety isn’t a threat to my rights."

"I believe in the Second Amendment. I also believe we need to renew the assault weapons ban, we need red flag laws, and we need universal background checks."

"My stance on the Second Amendment is simple: I’m not going to take anyone’s guns away."

"I oppose gun control, and if elected president, gun ban bills would be vetoed and sent to the dustbin."

“[W]e don’t want somebody to have their gun rights taken away when they haven’t actually been to court of law."

"I was proud to be the most pro-gun, pro-Second Amendment president you've ever had in the White House."

Authorities detained a person of interest early Sunday morning at a Hampton Inn hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, following a shooting at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine others on Saturday afternoon during final exams.

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha announced Sunday evening that the detained individual would be released, stating that while there was initially a quantum of evidence justifying detention, further investigation indicated the evidence now points in a different direction.
