Presidential Aides: Obama Has ‘Essentially Given Up on Any Significant’ Gun Control

On December 3 Politico reported that while Obama is pushing for more gun laws when the cameras are rolling, behind the scenes aides say he has "essentially given up on any significant gun control."

They reported a similar situation among some of the most prominent gun control groups - a situation in which they are pushing gun control publicly while "leaders of the groups grumble" privately because the White House seems to be all talk, no action on gun control.

According to Politico, "Aides say he's essentially given up on any significant gun control passing during his presidency."

The aides stressed that the number of pro-gun members in Congress has only grown since the first big push for gun control following Sandy Hook. Because of this, the White House has "no strategy for dealing with Congress that leads to significantly tighter gun laws."

That's right, liberals. We’re not all staying defenseless against criminals and such. But if you want to, it's your choice.

WE ARE PREPARED LIBERALS and you don't know which end of a defense tool to hold up (good for us o'course), so maybe you all better think twice before you make that choice you THINK is yours ...

Yes, he’ll go the executive order route. He only said he wasn’t dealing with congress.

I agree, B.S. He will just use executive orders and bypass congress.

Whaaa? Mr. “I’ve got a pen and a phone” has “given up” on forcing his will on the American people?
