I did note that Obama's exhortation on gun control focused on the sale of "assault" weapons and "high capacity" magazines. One other aspect worth noting is the concept of a Washington Task Force. I wonder how long it will take to get that organized enough to be effective. I'm sure this issue has juice right now. It will be interesting to see what happens as we pass beyond what is traditionally Americans' typically short attention span.

Well he did mention that this commission should provide recommendations before January 1, which he will heavily support. So my guess he's trying to be as quick and forceful about this as he can.

The NRA has already had to cave. Instead of outright opposing any new legislation they said they will work to support meaningful efforts to prevent violence... In other words they are trying to choose the bat with which they get beat.

If only every active gun owner in the US was a member of the NRA. We'd have some real clout. But at only 4 million strong there's a lot of bark but not much bite, IMO.

On the legislation front we may be saved by a Republican House... but it's still going to be tough.

Obama demands 'concrete proposals' on gun violence by January - First Read

Looks like we are going to move pretty fast on this!

The best thing that could happen at this point is to go over the fiscal cliff, which will deflect a lot of attention off of firearms and back to the economy and ongoing political dysfunction.

Dont know if its already been discussed, but just checked the price of 30rd p-mags they have gonna up by 300%. Cheaperthandirt lists them as out of stock for $11.99, but links to another set of p-mags for $30. Absolutely ridiculous.
