CNN says Obama stopped short of calling for Gun Control, supports reinstatement of fed ban on assault weapons

And who'll have the guts to force this on the 50+ million gun owners?!

Won't solve ANYTHING except take guns out of law abding peoples hands.


In Norway....all guns except for military and police are banned.

Look how that turned out.

Obviously Mr. Obama supports this. All presidents, in theory, support this - regardless of their words.

It is clearly politically expedient to support an action such as this. There is no downside.

If nothing is done via the congressional route, the Chief Executive can feign indignation while receiving support for the party from that side of the political spectrum.

If something is done and a law is transferred to the President for signature, it can be argued that signing it was the "will of the people".

Essentially, as long as nothing is pushed (words only), Mr. Obama cannot lose.

He is wise.

So all that really matters are this week's approval ratings.

NO.

What matters is that, in a moment of weakness or horror, the political element will have the power to push through a major overhaul of all firearms laws.

Eventually, the second amendment itself will be removed, but not after an overwhelming horror which causes a call to action - then the action is provided.

It must be understood that this is a losing situation for the "pro-gun". It will only take one moment of congressional weakness after a horrific situation to solidify the removal of the second amendment (or laws which, are a de facto removal of it). ONCE.

This will happen and nothing can stop it.
