I think one facet of this is a goal to completely end private sales, of any kind. Since legislating behavior in other areas has worked so well.

But I have more faith in the American people than that. Most gun-control advocates know that most gun owners are responsible citizens. Most gun owners know that the word "commonsense" isn't a code word for "confiscation." /Arizona Daily Star/POTUS

Sure it is. He could have vetoed the bill or issued an executive order.

Compromise
Compromise on gun laws mean more gun laws.
While it sounds good not let crazy people have guns how will you define who is crazy?
To the left who wants this law Tea Party folks are crazy - Republicans are crazy - Religious folks are crazy (except Muslims) - in fact anybody who would want to buy a gun is crazy.
Talk about Catch-22.

As far as I understand he couldn't have used an Executive Order to nullify a law passed by congress or an issue settled by the courts. He could have used one to set regulatory rules in the absence of either though. I could be wrong though, I'm not a lawyer.

Sigba,
Next you're gonna tell me that he'll sign a law to nationalize 1/5th of the economy!

MOO, the current president has taken a big step back from the anti-second amendment rhetoric of his campaign and the early days of his administration.
Has the light gone on? Has he figured out that the Bill of Rights is not the a la carte affair many Americans think it is? Or is he just positioning himself for 2012?

Leave him alone. The more he hints at gun control the lower his approval.
He's back down to -20 on Rasmussen.
Dems like CCW, too.

Well, I'm truly surprised it's taken him this long to bring up gun control laws. We all should have known it was only a matter of time. The National Parks law was another surprise.
My advice would be to continue to support the NRA and hopefully some more common sense voters show up in 2012.

President Obama is not likely going to get enough support to really do anything to the gun laws now. Enough people are waiting for a third case to go to the Supreme Court.

No more gun laws. You are just hurting law abiding citizens, that's it.

Quick, someone go tell HuffPo (a bastion of impartial reporting) they "misremembered" how concealed carry in national parks came about :

Here is a good idea for some 'gun reform' lets change our current guns laws to fall in line with what some guys who grew up in Europe had in mind...
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
That would be a change to the current laws wouldn't it?
