Obama will start working on gun control.

Just in case you have not seen it. Obama is going to talk gun control.

If you don't want to read the whole thing, basically David Axelrod said that Obama is getting ready to jump into the gun control issue, something he has steered clear from so far. Who knows what that will mean.

Squeezing our rights even more.

Read the article. Seems your title is a little misleading. No where in there did I read that he was going to start working on gun control. I did read that he would be addressing the issues that have been brought up recently. That could go either way.

If he thought this past Nov. was rough for him, wait until he goes after gun control. I don't think there is much support for more gun laws even among normal democrats.

I agree. It even states he'll address it at a later date and the way it reads they don't even have a way to approach any of it. He's got more important things to worry about than gun control.

Remembering Barry is virulently anti-gun, which way do you think it'll go?

I still remember when he was running, in one of his speeches he said, and I quote, "...if your not gonna vote for me, don't make it because of gun control, because I'm here to tell you, I'm not going to take your guns away." Pretty sure that's exactly how he said it. Then shortly after he was elected, in another speech he said, again I'm attempting to quote him agagain, ".....don't tell me we can't uphold the 2nd amendment, while still keeping the AK-47 out of peoples hands." Well, that's my personal rifle of choice. Seems to me he wants to take that gun away from me. You used to be able to youtube BOTH of these videos, but they're hard to find now. Ill attempt to link them

Our pres increasingly makes statements and decisions obviously steered by political pandering alone. He'll only jump on the anti-gun bandwagon if he feels there are enough people on it to get him re-elected. He doesn't govern by conviction or principle.

He doesn't govern by conviction or principle.

Are you implying that he governs?

Here are the links I promised.

Promising not to take guns away. (This is the video I was refering too, and I did slightly mis quote him, but it was the same effect.)
