On December 3 Politico reported that while Obama is pushing for more gun laws when the cameras are rolling, behind the scenes aides say he has “essentially given up on any significant gun control.”
They reported a similar situation among some of the most prominent gun control groups – a situation in which they are pushing gun control publicly while “leaders of the groups grumble” privately because the White House seems to be all talk, no action on gun control.
According to Politico, “Aides say he’s essentially given up on any significant gun control passing during his presidency.”
The aides stressed that the number of pro-gun members in Congress has only grown since the first big push for gun control following Sandy Hook. Because of this, the White House has “no strategy for dealing with Congress that leads to significantly tighter gun laws.”
The Congressional and popular opposition to gun control is so strong, that aides have shifted from talking about gun control Obama will pass to talking about why his supporters should give him credit for trying.
Politico reports:
White House aides often insist people should pay more attention to their actual efforts rather than whatever emoting does or doesn’t come out of the president. Aides claim soft progress: People are talking about gun control more, and all the Democratic presidential candidates are all pushing for stronger gun control, in a change. Obama aides say the president deserves credit for both.

How did the “Gun Control LAWS” passed in CT, NY work out? Did they get the population to obey and beg for mercy? NO! That didn’t happen. There are still a lot of good people in those states that feel the same as we do. Look at the militias that sprung up after those regulations were put into effect?
It is possible that he knows, or his handlers know that trying to enact and enforce more regulations than what existent now would dash their plans all together because it would start a general uprising of the population at the very least if not a full blown civil war. So they are backing off perhaps and will knees things in incrementally over time. It also dashes their time table. They know just like we do that once the first trigger is pulled there can be no hesitation to pull the next one, and the next one, and so on, because the other side won’t. This is in effect right now a really strange “Mexican Standoff”. They’ve pushed us as far as we are going to be pushed. We’re pissed and quite ready to fight if they make one more false move. They know it. Watch your state houses. That is probably where things will get rammed down our throats.
I do believe that which emits from Obomber’s mouth is precisely the opposite of that which gets done. If he spews about gun control, mayhaps we ought to be glad, cause ain’t nuthin’ gonna come of it.
No?
What could happen is that a Republican gets in–THEN the criminal psychopathic elite’s gun control program gets put into action…they know damned well that when Republicans bring out elites programs anathema to “conservatives”, then these “conservatives” go along with it…because Republicans did it!
How can they claim that he has given up when in his speech he calls for congress to ban gun sales for anyone on a government list? That would be the greatest gun control he could muster because he can put anyone on that list at any time and effectively shut down gun sales. Don’t believe this lying sack of dung.
“They reported a similar situation among some of the most prominent gun control groups – a situation in which they are pushing gun control publicly while “leaders of the groups grumble” privately because the White House seems to be all talk, no action on gun control.”
That’s because any REAL ‘action’ will require much bloodshed.
The POS jewb#tch can throw all the ‘laws’ and EO’s (INFRINGEMENTS) he wants to at us. I still don’t see anybody giving up their guns.
MOLON LABE, jEWB#TCH!!!

He deserves credit alright….for being “Gun Salesman of the Year”, EVERY year since being in office. No one can beat him in that. lol
