The White House, I think, is really wanting this issue to go away:
Asked Monday if Obama intends to address gun reform following the New York City investigation, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs dodged the question.
“We believe that there are reasons that federal laws are on the books,” Gibbs said, “and the need … to strongly adhere to and follow existing law is important not just in the purchase of weapons, but throughout our civil life.”
Gibbs walked off the podium as the reporter was asking a follow-up.
Needless to say, this is driving our opponents stark raving CAPS LOCK mad.
Snicker, snicker.
I sorta hope Obama does try something that will ruin his chances at reelection. I think he might be more dangerous during a 2nd term when he has nothing to lose.
I completely agree with Pyrotek85. Obama might be lying low for now, hoping not to rattle the boat and get reelected. God forbid he does get reelected in 2012, then we would be able to force his anti-2ndA agenda with no consquences to himself It may bring down other Reps and Senators during 2014 but the point would be moot by then.
Markie Marxist sez: “It’s a win/win situation for us Marxists. If Obama keeps quiet on guns, he gets re-elected for his last term, at which point he can really stick it to gun owners. On the other hand, if he goes after guns, he won’t get re-elected, but he’ll stick it to gun owners in the meantime. The alternative is an anti-gun RINO, which means that gun owners get screwed with no party to turn to. Hmmm . . . that’s actually a win/win/win situation isn’t it? Almost unfair of us commies, huh?”
“Needless to say, this is driving our opponents stark raving CAPS LOCK mad.”
Which is really a very good thing in my book!

If they get their way, cap locks will be the only kinds of guns that are legal.
“If they get their way, cap locks will be the only kinds of guns that are legal.”
Actually, even those would be banned.
Even so, it was kindof beautiful to see the anger!
There is little to no chance of getting any major gun laws passed. The Dems know this. They are at no risk of actually having to pass anything so they can scream all they want with no real effect. It’s actually perfect for them. Secure part of their base at no personal risk. They can blame every one and everything that doesn’t agree with them. “We would have! It’s not our fault!” Look at everything they “did” when they could have passed something
