Already up on the White House Website today.

That's one paragraph of to-dos in a long list of paragraphs of to-dos coming under the heading of "Urban Policy." The heading "Urban Policy" is one heading of 24, each having it own long list of to-dos. I don't see any indication that anti-gun legislation is on the policy front-burner. I suspect it's a compromisable issue for the Obama administration, especially given that violent crime seems to be trending down and there's not much evidence the AWB did much good other than irritate gun enthusiasts. In other words, Obama likely would happily trade off the gun control issue in favor of pressing the issues the people who elected him are most concerned with -- the economy, foreign policy and climate change. He certainly wasn't swept into office on a gun control mandate.

But we'll see what happens, I guess.
