and urge the voters to reject pro-gun candidates?
I'm not talking about supporting Obama in his right to take executive actions, which all three candidates support.
I'm talking specifically about Obama saying he'll be urging people not to vote for pro-gun candidates.
I know Hillary and Martin will do that, but Bernie in the past has said that rural voters want guns. So what will he say now? Will he urge all voters, including rural voters, to vote against pro-gun candidates?

Wiping back tears as he remembered children killed in a mass shooting, President Barack Obama on Tuesday ordered stricter gun rules that he can impose without Congress and urged American voters to reject pro-gun candidates.
Obama made it clear he does not expect gun laws to change during his remaining year in office, but pledged to do what he can to make gun control a theme in the months leading up to the November election to replace him.
