Brilliant move by Obama. Push gun control after Republicans take control of the house. This guy grow up under power lines or did grandma drop him on his head?
Anyways this is pointless. The laws were in place but they cant work if nobody reports the guy needed to be evaluated.
Actually, think about this for a minute.
You can actually SEE the Democrat gears shifting here from passing unpopular laws into re-election mode. Prior to them losing the house in a landslide, they frankly didn't give a single shit what the country was telling them it wanted. They demonstrated that quite clearly over and over again.
Now that they know they can't get any more of their own agenda passed, they've totally shifted gears. It started with the State of the Union. Obama's address shifted back onto nice safe ground - we need to spend less, blah blah blah blah. Never mind he's had two FULL YEARS to do it and hasn't bothered even once to actually work on shrinking the debt issues we face.
Now, however, he knows he's not going to make headway on any of the contentious points. Get ready for 2 years of flowery bullshit just like his presidential campaign. Not a damn thing will get done - he and the Democrats will make damn sure every bill they introduce that they don't actually want passed will contain a couple items in it that they know the "R's" will never vote yes for. Then you'll here the Democrats complain that the Republicans are being obstructionary.
The next two years will be a total loss while Obama starts his campaign for the next election.
He just spent the last two years ignoring government spending. Only a complete fucking moron is going to believe he suddenly got frugal. Likewise gun control. Now he can start trumpeting about it because he knows it'll never pass the house. And he'll blame it on obstructionism, and use it to win the anti-gun vote.
