So the President commissions the CDC to do a study on guns (link is to the unpublished study). It did not seem to prove out what they wanted it to prove.
You can go read it, or not, but I think that Jay summs it up nicely (go read his entire post):
So, let's recap, shall we? In the landmark study commissioned by Barack Obama in the wake of the Newtown tragedy, we find that mass shootings are less common than bucket drownings, that guns are used for self defense hundreds of thousands of times a year, and that suicides account for most of the deaths by firearms.
I say we need to ban buckets.
