NSA files decoded: Edward Snowden's surveillance revelations explained
Two factors opened the way for the rapid expansion of surveillance over the past decade: the fear of terrorism created by the 9/11 attacks and the digital revolution that led to an explosion in cell phone and internet use.

Our nation has suffered too much at the hands of dangerous people who use guns to commit horrific acts of violence.

The President strongly believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms.
