"It doesn't sound like the Home of the Free to me."
All things considered, trying to do a big gun grab right now would be about the single most boneheaded, tone deaf, and generally STUPID idea the Democrats could even hope to conceive of. First of all, the more ardent supporters of the Democrats, the most left wing liberals of all could mostly give a flying leap about the issue. There's about a dozen issues that are more important to his supporters, like health care for example. Second of all, it would totally fire up opposition to his administration, and would energize the Republicans in a manner that pretty much nothing else could possibly do, short of officially designating Bibles and American flags as "kindling" and using them to light bonfires on TV just before Monday Night Football. If Obama has ten functioning neurons in his skull, and any political smarts whatsoever, he'll smile and nod to those who say "we need to get the guns off of the streets", and say "Gosh, I understand what you're saying, but the Supreme Court already ruled on that and it's out of my hands", and then get on with doing other things.

Just like an Obama supporter. Run and hide. You are so much like him. He runs from responding to the legitimate question of a valid birth certificate. You run because I proved you are a kool aid drinking Obama Jackadope. Now run along and find some blinders.
Congratulations, you just got put on my bozo list. Goodbye.

It is also democrats that will not give them up. Trust me on that one, or not. It's not a rep vs dem thing, it's a freedom thing, and they have told me they wont surrender. Some will, but dont use party affiliation as a kind of 2A litmus test. YOu take your allies where you find them. THere are some republicans I wouldnt want watching my back too.

Oh,no. Not a "big gun grab" now. But a series of healthy medium sized ones are in the pipe. No one expects 'Bama to come on the tube Day One, look down his nose at all the rednecks and tell them to turn in their iron to the local PD. Lord knows what's on his official "Agenda" today as it seems to change with the prevailing winds, but we all know what's on the program. Vigilance. "Yes We Can . . . Ban Guns"--Obama Announces Gun Ban Agenda Before The Final Vote Count Is In Friday, November 07, 2008 Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign slogan, "the audacity of hope," should have instead been "the audacity of deceit." After months of telling the American people that he supports the Second Amendment, and only hours after being declared the president-elect, the Obama transition team website announced an agenda taken straight from the anti-gun lobby--four initiatives designed to ban guns and drive law-abiding firearm manufacturers and dealers out of business: "Making the expired federal assault weapons ban permanent." Perhaps no other firearm issue has been more dishonestly portrayed by gun prohibitionists. Notwithstanding their predictions that the ban's expiration in 2004 would bring about the end of civilization, for the last four years the nation's murder rate has been lower than anytime since the mid-1960s. Studies for Congress, the Congressional Research Service, the National Institute of Justice, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found no evidence that gun prohibition or gun control reduces crime. Guns that were affected by the ban are used in only a tiny fraction of violent crime-about 35 times as many people are murdered without any sort of firearm (knives, bare hands, etc.), as with "assault weapons." Obama says that "assault weapons" are machine guns that "belong on foreign battlefields," but that is a lie; the guns are only semi-automatic, and they are not used by a military force anywhere on the planet. "Repeal the Tiahrt Amendment." The amendment-- endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police--prohibits the release of federal firearm tracing information to anyone other than a law enforcement agency conducting a bona fide criminal investigation. Anti-gun activists oppose the restriction, because it prevents them from obtaining tracing information and using it in frivolous lawsuits against law-abiding firearm manufacturers. Their lawsuits seek to obtain huge financial judgments against firearm manufacturers when a criminal uses a gun to inflict harm, even though the manufacturers have complied with all applicable laws. "Closing the gun show loophole." There is no "loophole." Under federal law, a firearm dealer must conduct a background check on anyone to whom he sells a gun, regardless of where the sale takes place. A person who is not a dealer may sell a gun from his personal collection without conducting a check. Gun prohibitionists claim that many criminals obtain guns from gun shows, though the most recent federal survey of convicted felons put the figure at only 0.7 percent. They also claim that non- dealers should be required to conduct checks when selling guns at shows, but the legislation they support goes far beyond imposing that lone requirement. In fact, anti-gun members of Congress voted against that limited measure, holding out for a broader bill intended to drive shows out of business. "Making guns in this country childproof." "Childproof" is a codeword for a variety of schemes designed to prevent the sale of firearms by imposing impossible or highly expensive design requirements, such as biometric shooter- identification systems. While no one opposes keeping children safe, the fact is that accidental firearm-related deaths among children have decreased 86 percent since 1975, even as the numbers of children and guns have risen dramatically. Today, the chances of a child being killed in a firearm accident are less than one in a million. -http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=4227
