| White House to Push Gun Control |
| 2011-01-27 |
| Obama intentionally did not mention gun control in his State of the Union, but aides say that in the next two weeks the administration will unveil a campaign to get Congress to toughen existing laws. Had to know this was coming |

| #14 Jeebus. I wish I'd bout stock in gun and ammo manufacturers before Obama's win. I think I'll pass in 2012. He's toast... |

| #10 While I have no doubt he'd love to take our guns, this is mostly the official start of the 2012 campaign, I think.. |

| #9 I figured they would get around to this sooner or later. Obama will have a little trouble in the House--probably the Senate. Moreover, SCOTUS has made some important pro Second Amendment decisions recently. Around 40 states have concealed carry laws that have been passed through legislatures. I don't see them doing this. |

| #8 Oblahblah's gamebook has only three plays: 1) never let a crisis go to waste, 2) keep em off balance by launching into something new every other day and 3) feed my wingnuts some red meat (or tofu)to keep em happy. This doesn't work at any level -- no one's in crisis mode after the AZ shooter, no one's being baited by the new attack on the second amendment except for NRA fundraisers and the wingnuts will be bitterly disappointed when he drops this loser initiative. I am officially changing my Oblahblah sobriquet to Obozo |

| #6 Considering that the pendulum is swaying the other way for most states with fewer gun control laws and more concealed weapons, the dhims prove that they are still more and more out of touch with the rest of America. |

| #5 I've already noticed that this non-starter is getting some MSM trial balloons, with "news" stories, like: "Arizona's gun-death rate among the worst in U.S." "Students asked about toughening US gun laws" "Is America's pro-gun resolve weakening?" It's obvious that the Dems are off-balance, so want to start fortifying that part of their base that have low expectations. Even adamant gun controllers see that nobody wants gun control right now, so at least they aren't going to be shrieking at him about that. |

| #4 He has to fire up his progressive base somehow. |

| #3 Had to come sooner or later. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised: I thought he would wait until his second term. |

| #1 I'm all in favor of gun control programs - teaching sight alignment and sight picture, BRASS, and weapons safety are huge steps in the education of America's youth. Will they be subsidizing new handgun purchases for our youth? Or does this dumb cluck actually think this is something the American people want? If that nest of marxists in the White House actually have Oblahblah read this outloud, so much the better for 2012. |
