Obama Begins Gun Offensive

President Barack Obama is in Virginia tonight holding a townhall meeting on his proposed executive actions on guns.

CNN is hosting the event that begins at 8 p.m. ET. The White House has some control over who will be in the audience, however. Press Secretary Josh Earnest says there will be people in the audience who disagree with the president's approach who will have the opportunity to ask questions.

I'll be live tweeting the event and invite you to follow me on Twitter @JenniferWishon.

Here's another look at what the president is proposing.
