President Obama is taking his plan to overhaul the nation's gun laws on the road today to Minneapolis, Minn., a Democratic-leaning state that exemplifies the complexities of reducing gun violence.

The president is expected to highlight the strides the city, once nicknamed "Murder-apolis," has made to stem gun violence, including a push for stricter background checks for gun owners and efforts to prevent people with mental health issues from acquiring a gun.

The city "has taken important steps to reduce gun violence and foster a conversation in the community about what further action is needed," according to the White House.
