Obama, Reid slam brakes on gun control (all may not be lost)

[bwframe]

Guys, again, calm down. The Republicans aren't going along with any new gun control laws. The Democrats remember the legislative backlash from the last time they passed it. The Dems will talk to their base, then let this die a cold and lonely death once emotions calm down. Just like Obama did the first 4. Promises to keep the base happy, doesn't actually do it because the reality forces it another way.

Even when you get good news, confirmation that the world isn't about to crash down on your ears and steal your guns, you want to blow it off and concentrate on the paranoia and fear. Relax.

YES, yes, yes!

And PLEASE, please, please quit starting threads on INGO with polls and suggestions of how much we will be willing to back down, bans, etc.

POLITICS=PEOLE FREAKING OUT ABOUT AN ISSUE THEY BELIEVE STRONGLY IN. AND OUR ELECTED POLITICIANS DOING WHAT THEY HAVE TO IN ORDER TO OBTAIN VOTES.

Exactly, and putting Biden in charge of a commission can be a good thing. Often in DC setting up these things is often akin to doing nothing and letting the problem go away. They could drag the commission and it's findings out for years if they wanted to. In fact if it was done right and wasn't created just to blow smoke I don't see how it could be done in less than a year.

I think if Barry O really wanted this done, he would have headed it up himself. He has detached himself from it and stamped Joe B's name to it. If he thought it would make him a more glorified hero I'm sure he would be pulling the strings at the helm.

I'm hoping NRA has pull with Sen. Reid. NRA gave Reid an endorsement in his last Senate election and he did not win by much. Regardless, we need to keeping letting our Senators and Representative know where we stand.
