The Left would have to be batshit crazy to try and push any type of gun "reform" legislation. There is basically zero Reality reason for doing so, and it'd only cost them political capitol. They'd be far better off going for immigration "reform".

Looking like they are batshit crazy then;

California Senator Dianne Feinstein‘s Washington, D.C. “…staff held meetings on Friday with FTB/ATF [Firearms Technology Branch/ Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] legal staff to discuss a new ‘Assault Weapons Ban,” Jim Shepherd of The Shooting Wire reported yesterday, characterizing the meeting as a “rumor” based on “pretty good intelligence.”
Feinstein’s rumored bill “would ban pistol grips and "high-capacity" magazines, eliminate any grandfathering and ban sales of ‘weapons in possession’"

Of course, if Obama had "won" by 2 million votes in the "popular vote", and they had tied in the EC and Romney had become president because of a House vote after multiple recounts, you'd be here arguing that Romney did have a "mandate".

That's because you're a hack.

Just stop already. The President needs to be decided by the people, not by a handful of people in Ohio, Florida, and a few other states. Obama won by popular vote. He deserves to be President. Bush in 2000 didn't He did not deserve to be President.

I have plenty of complaints about Republicans, I do not look in the Republican manual to decide where to stand on an issue. I have no clue where you come up with the idea I am a hack.

Bat shit crazy is when you shit your pants over rumors. A gun can't curb your fears or make you a man. You need a doctor for that. Somebody probably is milking your fears for donations, probably the NRA. The great thing about mental health is that you don't need to pay after you're cured. I never worry about the gubment showing up at my door with their tactical nuclear weapons because I gots me a bow and arrows. They don't stand a chance.

The left has definitely been embolden by the re-election of Obama, they truly believe they have been given carte blanc with their policies by America as a result.

Get ready for an avalanche of freedom/liberty stealing, government empowering/growing policies, it is coming!

He can probably get one of those if he pushed hard enough and was willing to expend the political capital on it rather than other priorities, but almost certainly not all 3. He seems to be pretty single minded on his desire to raise taxes on upper income earners though, and I think that and an obamacare fix will probably be a more realistic objective for his second term than any of the things mentioned by the OP.

if it was true..

in the real world Obama got Bob Dole's healthcare plan passed, took out Bin Laden, mostly got us out of a fruitless war in Iraq, stimulated the economy to 31 months of growth..

And wants to work to reduce the deficit in a balanced way, but has been blocked by Republicans in Congress.

When Obama called the SEALs, they got Bin Laden. When the SEALs called Obama, they got DENIED!

Probably right there.
