President Barack Obama will use his Sunday night address on terrorism to urge the American people not to “give in to fear” after the California shootings, and may ask Congress to take action to further safeguard national security, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.
Lynch also said that “dealing with guns is one way to handle the violence crime issues that we have in this country.”
The White House said Obama would provide an update on Wednesday’s shootings in San Bernardino that killed 14 and wounded 21, and discuss the broader threat of terrorism, including how it has evolved and how he plans to defeat it. Authorities say a married couple – a 28-year-old American-born man and a 29-year-old woman originally from Pakistan – was responsible, and that the woman had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group on Facebook as they went on their rampage.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday formally asked Congress for new war authority to fight Islamic State militants.
Obama’s request came in the form of a new Authorization for the Use of Military Force. It’s a retroactive request: Congress is receiving the document six months after the U.S. began bombing the Islamic State group, also called ISIS. The president has said he believes he already has the authority to go after the group — citing a sweeping 2001 AUMF as his legal grounds to act unilaterally — but welcomes congressional signoff. Some lawmakers don’t think he currently has the authority.
The proposed AUMF would limit military action against the Islamic State to three years and allow limited use of U.S. ground troops for things like rescue operations or intelligence sharing. It would put no geographic limitations on the military campaign; instead, it would limit military action to countering the Islamic State and associated forces. It would also repeal a 2002 Iraq War AUMF that never expired, but it would leave in place the broad 2001 AUMF. The new AUMF would sunset in three years.
