Axelrod: Obama Will Soon Enter Public Debate Over Gun Control
.... Wednesday afternoon, White House political adviser David Axelrod said President Obama will soon enter the gun control debate, his silence on the issue during State of the Union notwithstanding.
"There's no doubt that he will," Axelrod said in the West Wing's Roosevelt room -- it's just a question of how.
"I don't know exactly how he will approach it but obviously these issues are out there and have been accentuated by the tragedy in Tucson," he added.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x280677We can only hope the jug-eared Kenyan makes a strong pitch for gun control. How about a ban on black rifles? Confiscation of semi-auto weapons of all kinds? It would be the best gift he could possibly give us, and would take even more democrat politicians down with him.
Our old friend DUmmy stevenumbers, the DUmp's main ladies' man, the common man's Warren Beatty, who would have scored back in '05 if the chick hadn't suddenly discovered she had a cold sore:

Actually, DUmmy stevenumbers has no idea what gun control is - he's focused like a laser on female genitalia - but he heard someone say it was political suicide.

3. Don't do it! If he calls for more gun control it will hurt us.
Do it! Do it! Do it!

6. That's funny; some sensible national gun regulation might make me feel much more positively about...
...Obama.
And as "they" always say, what are you going to do?
Vote for the Republican?
"Sensible gun control" is the term used by every gun grabber in the democrat party. But they are so sensible. Remember the New Jersey ban on hollow-point bullets that permitted their use in "trap and skeet competition"?

5. Obama: "I will veto any new Federal weapons or weapons accessories bans."
Hope.
Did he really say that?

7. Bad move.
The smartest thing hes done thus far, is steer clear of the gun issue.
Getting involved with it is almost certainly a recipe for disaster.

8. 31 bullet magazines DO need to be regulated.
You can always tell a firearms expert if he uses "bullets" where he should say "rounds" or "cartridges". I once had a clerk at Bass Pro, back when they still sold reloading components, refer to bullets as "bullet tips".
