For a couple minutes, I thought this was an old recycled article from March.

Consider the response a few months back to the suggestion of "common sense" measures.

Now, the memory of the Tucson shooting is even further faded.

I really don't see it going anywhere this time. And especially not this term.

Obama also has gone out of his way to be bipartisan, and even when he didn't have to be. I would imagine that any serious measures would be quickly blocked or defanged.

Also, with the recent attention to the BATFE's exploits in Mexico, this seems to be a strange direction to take things.
