Obama knows he'll never get any gun banning legislation through a Republican led House, or a Democrat led Senate for that matter, so what is his game? I think he just wants to control the issue and not guns.

In the future, there will be more shootings in this country just as sure as there are more mad men out there who will get guns no matter how many laws are passed or not passed.

However, when these future shootings occur, Obama can point at Republicans and say to his “low information” (read retarded) constituency, “It's the Republicans’ fault this shooting occurred. If they'd have passed the legislation I wanted, this shooting would never have occurred.”

Just as Liberals, with their “Global Warming” issue now blame Republicans for the weather, they'll now blame all future shootings on the Republican Party.

I doubt he knows that. None of us should be too sure of that either.
