Jason Iowa has understood the real situation, not the paranoid, all-or-nothing clamor of the inattentive: Here are some quotes from the website of the most organized, well funded anti-gun organization - the Brady Gun Violence Center- here's the link: http://www.bradycenter.org/reports/b...s/obamareport:

"The President’s concessions to the “guns anywhere” mentality of the gun lobby and lack of leadership for common-sense gun laws has earned him a grade of “F”.

"President Obama signed legislation letting people carry concealed weapons in national parks and in checked luggage on Amtrak trains, adopted the gun lobby’s empty rhetoric about just “enforcing the laws on the books,” and muzzled Cabinet members who expressed support for stronger gun laws. "

"In addition, the White House voiced no objection to people carrying guns near Presidential events and his White House staff removed statements from the White House website that declared support for gun violence prevention laws."

"In just one year, Barack Obama has signed into law more repeals of federal gun policies than in President George W. Bush’s eight years in office."

"…Administration officials parroted NRA slogans to just “enforce the law on the books,” even though there are few such laws and those are riddled with loopholes. It is no wonder that one pro-gun writer remarked that the NRA “should erect a statue of Barack Obama in front of its D.C. headquarters.”

"…his Administration’s extraordinary silence and passivity has allowed the gun lobby to move its agenda forward…"

"He can show leadership by rejecting the extremist agenda of the NRA, and instead pushing for common sense strategies to prevent gun violence, such as requiring background checks at gun shows, prohibiting gun sales to suspected terrorists, and giving law enforcement the tools it needs to crack down on corrupt dealers and traffickers. "

Now tell me that's all a ruse, a sham to get him reelected.
