No, but he can pass a new assault weapons ban, which unlike the last one, won’t include a sunset provision.

Doing so will be difficult without the support of the Blue Dogs and those Democrats elected from Conservative-leaning districts in 06 and 08. The very same ones who caused the Congress to step in to set DC straight on it's attempts to circumvent the SCOTUS handgun ban ruling.
If the NRA and GOP (but more the NRA) put a LOT of pressure on those Dem Congressmen, they're gonna realize that their own Party and President are putting their seats in jeopardy and possibly selling them down the river. I don't see them sitting quietly by and letting that happen, especially if TV/radio adverts and lit drops are happening in their districts. They're going to completely freak out and either stand up to their Party/President (so much for a "honeymoon"), or we're going to see a repeat of 1993/94 and a lot of them are going to jump ship to the GOP.
The most important thing here is to publicize, publicize, publicize this issue. Did I mention that we need to PUBLICIZE it? If handled correctly, this could very well set the tone for the rest of the Obama Administration ... people will be presented with hard evidence that he's a Leftist trojan horse and he WILL lose support. Especially with the Conservative elements in his own Party.
