White House to Push Gun Control

This is actually below anything a president would have or need operational details on. And Holder would more than likely only have a passing knowledge on. You want this to be their responsibility. I get that. But yu need much more than you have.

It was in the stimulus and Holder spoke on it. The President and Holder knew about it and probably designed it.

Here we go Obama playing politics and using a tragedy to forward his agenda

This will cause more disdain toward Obama from conservatives.

Gun-Control Effort Coming Soon From White House - Newsweek

At the beginning of his State of the Union address, President Obama tipped his hat to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who’s now recuperating in a Houston medical facility. But throughout the hourlong speech, he never addressed the issue at the core of the Giffords tragedy—gun control—and what lawmakers would, or should, do to reform American firearm-access laws.

That was intentional, according to the White House. An administration official says Obama didn’t mention guns in his speech because of the omnipresent controversy surrounding the Second Amendment and gun control. Tuesday’s speech was designed to be more about the economy and how, as Obama repeated nine times, the U.S. could “win the future.”

But in the next two weeks, the White House will unveil a new gun-control effort in which it will urge Congress to strengthen current laws, which now allow some mentally unstable people, such as alleged Arizona shooter Jared Loughner, to obtain certain assault weapons, in some cases without even a background check.

You cannot logically make the leap some of you are making. Being in the stimulus and Holder speaking on it (I have asked that you listen to what he actually said, as it does not describe this program), doesn't mean they had operational knowledge. Now, you can think, and address the points made, of you can be a mindless partisan and repeat your mantra. It's completely up to you. :coffeepap
 
So, anyone in this thread have a gun taken away yet?

...anyone?

Any legislation get put on the floor for vote in congress?

...anyone?

For you to deny it shows you are not looking logically at what has been presented

With the fast and furious being presented I would think Obama will back off a while

No, I'm afraid you continue to not understand how this works. I think it is because you so badly want something here that will not happen. :coffeepap

I heard the same argument in California, NJ, NYC and England
 
I think the dispute over gun-control is one of the dumbest political issues around. However, we have much MUCH bigger fish to fry, so I wish Obama would leave this alone for now.
 
I would love to see 20 years of murder-rate history of a city that had very relaxed gun laws, and then in a year or two tightened the gun laws very strongly.

do we have ANY examples of this?
