A poster on another board pointed out that barry's announcement occurs 33 days after Sandy Hook.

now think about all the troops when they come home they are screen for mental health are they going to be ban from owning guns

[osoab]

You know, it's just a bunch of grandstanding.

Why is the CDC going to study gun violence? I thought they have already done plenty of studies.

What about the ATF director. Isn't it barry's fault for not nominating one already?

I can't believe this took uncle Joe weeks to figure this out.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.

I hope they show barry sporting a gun for these adds.

Why Obama's gun plan may be doomed

[mick silver]

osoab they can do what they want . just look back a few years ago . no one wanted the bank bailout what did they they do

This is boilerplate administrator-wants to-look-like-he's-doing something legal mumbo jumbo gobblegook amorphous nothing. This is all nip and tuck and pay lip service to the gun control nuts. The latter will not be happy. But it appears that Obama has decided to duck on the gun grab issue - interesting. Perhaps people on the inside, allies and adversaries, warned him that he was stepping on a pissed off rattler this time and he'd better back off. Wouldn't it be ironic if Obama's threatening anti-gun rhetoric with no substantive follow-through winds up doing more for gun sales and private ownership than any campaign of the NRA.

I believe him and his ilk have already achieved that non-goal.

This was my first reaction, and it still might be true. But my second thought was that they floated this anti-climactic speech to get everyone to let their guard down. Now that we're all relieved that it won't be that bad, they can start doing what they really want and noone will notice until it's too late.
