Brian:This is just my opinion for whatevers it's worth.
The Dems and the Obama administration are just as anti gun as ever. Keep in mind that "Gun Control" is really "People Control" and that has been the goal of socialists since day one.
Why hasn't Obama pushed this?
*First off 60 Democrat Representatives wrote AG Holder a letter telling him in no uncertain terms that they would NOT support another "assault weapons ban". It cost Clinton control of Congress in 1994 resulting in the ouster of a lot of Democrats. Even Clinton who has had a lot of trouble with telling the truth admitted this was the case. Politicians especially lefties want to keep their cushy jobs.
*Obama may be ignorent but he's not stupid and knows he'd can't get another assault weapon ban through Congress so he hasn't tried it.
*To date he has concentrated on loading the Supreme Court with fellow socialists in hopes of directly attacking the 2nd Amendment. If he had one more vote the Heller vs Washington DC and McDonald vs Chicago decisions would have gone the other way and our rights evaporated along with them.
*Obama and his fellow socialists are just waiting for an opportune time so it's imperative to get out and vote this November so as not to give them one.

The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.
