[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2518694, member: 18914"] Let us reason together here. The Brady Campaign, a group dedicated to the elimination of private gun ownership (I know that now after many stinging defeats they say they have changed tactics and don't seek bans but even they admit that is just a concession to an "inability" not a lack of desire to create a ban), doesn't feel Pres Obama has done very much to support their cause. They are largely correct because a) Republican House stopped any new legislation, b) Senate resistance made fights even in that Democrat dominated body difficult, c) The President didn't want to rock the boat before the last Presidential election cycle (outside of any tragic, but convenient crisis). Now he has publicly (to anti-gun groups) declared his intention to do as much as possible to stem gun ownership with "commonsense measures" that he can enact by Presidential authority and he appears to have started doing just that. But because the Brady Campaign isn't satisfied we should ignore the President's stated intention and what appears to be executive actions designed to have the exact impact that he has already stated he'd like to take? Is that really your thinking Morpheus? Your conclusion is that its all NRA propaganda? [/QUOTE]
