I hope this analysis is correct, but knowing Obama I have doubts.

With President Obama’s announcement of a commission to study and recommend ways to reduce gun violence, the two most important Democrats in government — Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — have both indicated a desire to slow the momentum toward gun control in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings. The president’s decision to appoint a blue-ribbon panel — the classic Washington ploy to defuse and delay consideration of an issue — along with Reid’s inaction on the gun question will undoubtedly frustrate many in their party who want immediate action.

This kind of makes sense to me. It doesn't mean that they don't eventually want to neuter 2A rights in this country; rather, they want to slow the process down just enough that the national backlash doesn't re-energize their opposition while simultaneously slowing or stopping their march towards socialism in this country.

What would actually be a logical time frame for an AWB to go into effect? I got caught with my pants down on this one.
