On March 6, President Obama delivered remarks on the one-year anniversary of the My Brother’s Keeper initiative at a Town Hall at St. Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest called the purposed ban on M855 AR-15 ammo a “common-sense step” in a press conference.
