What Wasn't in Obama's State of the Union: Gun Control
Excerpt:
"Just two and a half weeks ago we had 13 people wounded,six killed including a Congresswoman wounded, a federal judge killed," Politico's Roger Simon said on CBS News' State of the Union webcast Tuesday night. "Democrats saw this as a way to renew the vigor and the argument about doing something small and sensible like banning high capacity magazines for handguns. President Obama doesn't seem to be signaling that he's getting on that."

As predicted, the Dems would not allow a "good" tragedy to go to waste, any more than they would a good crisis. The Dems would want to capitalize on the shootings.
However, 2012 is very close and the Dems have far too many seats up for grabs, so this might not get the staunch support, even in the Senate, that bleeding heart lobbyists are hoping for. And I don't think this bill will go anywhere in the House. Hopefully, the House will make short order of this newest attack on our liberties and get on with far more pressing business.
