RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

[clip starts]

OBAMA: "And of course, what's also routine is that somebody, somewhere will comment and say, Obama politicized this issue. Well, this is something we should politicize. I would ask news organizations, because I won't put these facts forward, have news organizations tally up the number of Americans who have been killed through terroristic attacks over the last decade and the number of Americans who have been killed by gun violence. And post those side by side on your news reports. This won't be information coming from me. It will be coming from you."

BOLDUAN: "Now, some of the numbers the president highlighted them last night, CNN has collected them independently from government figures. From 2004 to 2013, more than 300,000 people were killed by guns here in the United States. The number of Americans killed here and abroad because of terrorism, 313."
