This seems to be a case where silence spoke volumes. I imagine everybody has seen the BATFE's proposed rule change for enhanced reporting of the sales of assault rifles along the southwestern states... They have begged and whined for it in order to "Stop the flow of automatic weapons to Mexican criminals". O'Bama seems to have pointedly ignored mention of it in his diatribe. Comments on several forums have linked to reports that ATF is "very disappointed and disheartened with the lack of indicators that the president was going to okay the change". O'Bama may approve it anyway but it seems to me that he is staying away from it. With all his teleprompters I'm sure at least 5 or 10 are set to, "mommy, may I ?" lists and new gun control just ain't hitting the screens.
