Obama Says His Endorsement Depends on Gun Control Stance
--------------------------------------------------------

President Obama, meanwhile, has said his support for the next president
will depend on the candidate's stance on gun control measures. In a New
York Times op-ed published today, Obama writes: "I will not campaign
for, vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who does
not support common-sense gun reform." This comes on the heels of Obama's
televised town hall Thursday night, in which he defended the use of
executive action to implement new regulations on online gun sales and
other measures intended to curb gun violence.
