Need some help with research

Hi, my name is Clay. I'm Greg's freshman, 14 year old son, and I have something I need help with. I'm writing a research report for English class, and my topic is the present and future plans that President Obama has for Gun Control. I need some websites for research, but can't find anything good. Could I please get some suggestions? My dad said that it would be a good idea to ask you guys. Thanks in advance.

HR 2159 Threatens Gun Owners: A new gun law being considered in Congress, if aligned with Department of Homeland Security memos labeling everyday Americans as potential "threats," could potentially deny firearms to pro-lifers, gun-rights advocates, tax protesters, animal rights activists, and a host of others - any already on the expansive DHS watch list for potential "extremism." . Pratt further warned WND of the potential overlap of H.R. 2159 and a recent DHS memo that warned against potential violence from "right-wing extremists," such as those concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty. "By those standards, I'm one of [DHS Secretary] Janet Napolitano's terrorists," Pratt said. "This bill would enable the attorney general to put all of the people who voted against Obama on no-gun lists, because according to the DHS, they're all potential terrorists. Actually, we could rename this bill the Janet Napolitano Frenzied Fantasy Implementation Act of 2009." .

I do not recall any campain promises that included gun control legislation. That is not typically what politicians put in their campain.
You will have to keep an eye on any proposed legislation that O personally throws support at. You likely will need to read any and all of the legislation as the politicians will hide legislation within a bill not related to the bill.
