WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says President Barack Obama is not pushing for new gun control legislation even though he still supports a ban on assault weapons. Spokesman Jay Carney says Obama intends to focus on other ways to combat violence.

Carney's comments Thursday are the latest sign that Obama won't engage lawmakers in a drive for new laws, bowing to congressional opposition to additional gun restrictions.

uh, he doesn’t but he does?

Yeah. Typical.

We know his dark heart of dark hearts on this.

He was willing to let people die so he could have his anti gun narrative via fast and furious body count.

But, as with the Russians, “Wink, wink...I’ll have a LOT more flexibility when I’m re-elected.”

>> Obama intends to focus on other ways to combat violence

Mandatory frontal lobotomies and a HUGE tax for noncompliance?

Not seeking new gun laws but will overturn the 2nd Amendment with the stroke of a pen as was done with federal immigration law.

Great Leader does not govern by the laws, therefore why would he seek a lawful means to his ends? Nor does this mean the Second Amendment is safe under his watch.

He better not, if he knows what’s good for him.

I love the smell of contradiction in the morning. As if no-one would notice!

Law? LAW? I don't need no stinking law. I have a UN treaty and executive orders. And if that doesn't work I have midnight BATF raids.

He's going to let the UN do it for him.

No, Obama’s going to screw Americans with the UN Treaty on Small Arms and get it passed by a lame duck Senate after November. That’s Barry’s and Hillary’s plan.

This guy is self-destructing day by day. Why don’t his handlers step in and impose a little discipline on the campaign? Makes me think there might be something to the theories that he wants to lose.

Today, he will let the U.N. camel’s nose under the American tent.

If he wins re-election, he will use that wedge to impose gun control.

What's new about disarm the peasants before they revolt?

It's been done repeatedly through history.


It's disgusting how you have to lawyer talk your way to the truth with the ruling party.

Throw all the bums out!!!!

Either the UN or the little coward will have the USDA declared bullets a toxin or OSHA declare them a “workplace environment hazard” ala Major Hassan at Ft Hood, and abolish them.

The wannabe street punk knows a frontal assault will be repulsed.

As he usually says, “We don’t need no steenkin’ laws!”

I got excited when I saw Obama not seeking new....but then it said gun laws and not term.

Oh well....

And, IMO we’ll see about that. Obama’s ENTIRE term thus far, has been “I’M NOT GOING TO DO THIS”, all the while, he is doing exactly that. He’s a freakin magician....distracting with one hand, and robbing you blind and screwing you over, with the other.
