This may be an attempt to build political capital. If he requires confiscation, it won't pass in the legislature. If it fails, he still looks anti-gun if he ever attempts to run for president.
I believe this is true both in N.Y.S. and Washington D.C.
Not much will pass, but the gun grabbers can say, "We tried!!! But the evil Republicans stopped us!!! Vote for more of us in 2014!!!
Do not kid yourself--most office seekers understand that gun control has been political suicide sine 9/11
