WASHINGTON — As the Senate prepares to begin debating new gun control measures, some of President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats are poised to frustrate his efforts to enact the most sweeping limits on weapons in decades.
These Democrats from largely rural states with strong gun cultures view Obama's proposals warily and have not committed to supporting them. The lawmakers' concerns could stand in the way of strong legislation before a single Republican gets a chance to vote "no."
There's a core group of Democratic senators, most but not all from the West, who represent states with a higher-than-average rate of gun ownership but an equally strong desire to feel their kids are safe," said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. "They're having hard but good conversations with people back home to identify the middle-ground solutions that respect the Second Amendment but make it harder for dangerous people to get their hands on guns."
All eyes are on these dozen or so Democrats, some of whom face re-election in 2014. That includes Sens. Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.

Thanks Red Steel. And, no, they won’t.
But we will.
“Democrats may stand in Obama’s way on gun measures”
Hildabeast, with the powerful Clinton machine behind her, tried to stand in his way and she was soundly defeated.
Glenn Beck stood in his way and lost the top rated show in his time slot.
Even blacks who tried to run for president on the GOP ticket were steamrolled by this man from nowhere, with no resume.
Like all the evil men in history, when you couple charisma with a lust for power, people die and countries are destroyed.
While we have had our share of less than stellar presidents, none would seem to match the lack of expertise in any executive capacity that this turd on a stick seems to have.
Can you say "false dichotomy" boys and girls?
There! I knew you could!
They have a choice of a hard election or obeying the little Hitler in the White House.
And those little boys and girls will be MUCH safer with only the little Hitler’s SS with weapons than with those mean, awful Tea Partiers (aka patriots) having them.
Absolutely - congress-critters should only travel on secured day buses with adult proctors and then be leashed together when they need to move in public - that would be a good start on hobbling the lunatics among us.
