It's simple. A vote for gun control means bye-bye Washington come the next election.

Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — have both indicated a desire to slow the momentum toward gun control in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings.

ROTFL! One word. UNIONS! Every union creep I know has an Obama/Biden bumper sticker on one side of the bumper of their pickup and an "I'm The NRA And I Vote!" bumper sticker on the other side. Go for it boys! You Democrats will need more foreign donations next time than you needed for all of the last three elections put together.

Seems to me the most vocal proponents for gun control are those Senators and Congressmen who know they won't lose their seats over it. Feinstein sure as hell won't get tossed to the curb. Neither will Schumer, McCarthy or the rest of them. In order to get this passed, these people with nothing to lose will have to rally other Senators and Congressmen who are tepid at best on the issue and have everything to lose.

Sounds like some Dems are starting to wonder if it is worth throwing away their entire liberal agenda so that Dianne Feinstein can win her personal crusade of banning assault rifles, a ban Democrats know in their hearts will have no impact whatsoever on violent crime.

#1. Simply, I don’t believe either one of them.
They have waited too long for an excuse like this
to let it go to waste.

#2. Any discussion of arms control is
against the constitution.

#3. “Shall not be infringed!”

infringed = encroached upon in any way.

This means they’re going to screw us slowly with regulations and rules from the EPA or the ATF.

I'd like to believe this story to be true, but I wouldn't count on it.

Obama's been re-elected already. He's not worried about his own political support and he doesn't seem the type to worry about anyone else's.

His history shows him to be all about going as far left as he can as quickly as he can. He's never had any negative consequences in life and doesn't expect that he ever will.

The rumblings of impeachment and a coup d’etat must be registering.

Maybe King Barry can talk about gun control next quarter, too, and then brag about how strong the economy is.

You can bet the surge of gun sales made the quarter look a lot better than it would have otherwise so I suspect we’ll be seeing more on this subject whenever it looks like there will be disappointing retail sales figures on the way.

We need to ENCOURAGE a “Third Party”

A GUN CONTROL THIRD PARTY, which will be “disgusted with Obama and the Democrats” for not pushing gun control!

That would be WONDERFUL, huh?

SPLIT THE VOTE LIBS!

Does this mean we’ll start seeing .22 LR bullets on store shelves again? They seem to be somewhat in demand since November 6.

There are plenty of Obama voters and Democrats rushing out to buy guns weapons so they can be armed for self defense and against various crazies. The could care less what the original intent of the Second Amendment is, to guard against tyranny. They just want “something” and they have some common sense

You have people who voted against their self interests. They voted for Democrats, socialists and redistributionists. They voted for a Kenyan and his mooching wife. But they still want their guns and are out buying more right now same as the Romney voters are

The thesis of the article is ridiculous. Saying that “Obama is stopping Democratic momentum” by distorting a couple of sentences smacks of desperation. Right now, momentum, public sentiment and the MSM are on the Democrat’s side, all the stories of shootings in the news are being framed as examples of how dangerous guns are, the NRA did such a terrible job in 2012 it is being called “weak” and “a paper tiger” on the Sunday morning talk shows, and Wayne LaPierre is being ridiculed domestically and internationally, and Biden has hinted at running in 2016 — a successful gun control agenda would be a rallying point for liberals and left-leaning independents.

If Republicans and the NRA don’t do a better job of messaging, they will lose the support of independents and the next 4 years are going to be long and ugly.

...Obama said the Biden Commission must report its findings in January.

Notice that Obama did not say "which" January! He knows full well that no Blue Ribbon (bi-partisan) panel in Washington can meet and suggest changes to any law in 30 days. Typical "kick-can" Washington speak.

The fear is not Gun Control it is Politicians whom fear they will lose their control over the masses. This is why Odumbo and Reid are backing away - overreached with “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Odumbo and Reid have too many crisis situations going on and each crisis situation is blowing up beyond their control. Strive to defuse one just creates another!
