Obama extends olive branch in gun control debate - The Washington Post
This does not sound like an "olive branch" to me. Although I think sitting down to talk is usually a good thing, I have to agree with LaPierre on this one.
I did get a kick out of this quote though:
President Obama continued, "So that's what the Second Amendment Provides for. It is actually the BATFE who has been charged with contributing to the flow of weapons into Mexico's drug wars. Get your facts right."

I did get a kick out of this quote though:
This month, when a Mexican reporter asked him at a news conference about whether U.S. gun laws contribute to the flow of weapons into Mexico’s drug wars, the president responded: “I believe in the Second Amendment. It does provide for Americans the right to bear arms for their protection, for their safety, for hunting, for a wide range of uses.”
