President Barack Obama said he came with "the love and prayers of a nation" as he spoke Sunday night in Newtown, Conn., at the vigil for those killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Obama said the nation faces "hard questions" in the aftermath.
"Can we honestly say that we're doing enough to keep our children, all of them, safe from harm?" Obama said. "If we're honest with ourselves, the answer's no. We're not doing enough, and we will have to change."
Obama said that though there is no single law or set of laws that could prevent such tragedies, "that can't be an excuse for inaction," dismissing people who say the "politics are too hard. Are we prepared that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"
