Obama: "shameful" politics to blame for defeat of gun measure Apr 17th 2013, 22:15 WASHINGTON | Wed Apr 17, 2013 6:15pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Joined by relatives of the victims of gun violence, President Barack Obama on Wednesday angrily blamed politics for the failure of gun control legislation and urged voters to send a message at the ballot box that they want stronger gun laws. "There were no coherent arguments as to why we wouldn't do this.

"All in all this was a pretty shameful day for Washington but this effort is not over," he said.
