I'm thinking this is the most likely explanation. It's not like Obama is at all opposed to lying to people to get votes--just look at his record for keeping promises from his campaign.

I think he has done ok as far as promises go. Many of them were derailed by the GOP, some righty so BTW.

The good thing about that is it would be easy to undo.

It sounds a lot like Bush's "assault weapon" import ban that's still in effect.

I HATE the term "assault weaapon" By thier defination (the anti's, Brady Bunch etc.) ''assult weapons'' are anything that looks even the least bit scary, god forbid you paint it black even pink . I would not be surprised if you laid a couple black air-soft guns and paintball guns on a table they would call 'em "Assault weapons" too. To me the only time a gun looks scary is if I'm looking down the wrong end. The only guns I would refer to as assault would be select fire or full auto pistols or rifles.

I found this article on MYFoxAustin and thought I would share. My apologies if this is a repost.

How is banning imported shotgun and reducing magazine capacity going to reduce gun crime. You would still be able to buy basically the same shotgun after the ban the only difference it it would have to say "Made in America" as it is only a ban on IMPORTED shotguns. Also, how is a high capacity magazine ban going to do anything, bullets are deadly no matter how many are carried, the shooter in Tucson was stopped because people were able to gain control of his weapon because of the extra length of Hi-Cap mags.. What need to be done is keeping gun out of the hands of people who should not have them in the first place and having a zero tolerance policy on violent crimes to keep these people off the streets in the first place.

Let the "Itold you so's" begin
