Carney told reporters yesterday that the president is instead “focused on doing the things that we can do that protect Second Amendment rights which he thinks is important but also make it harder for individuals who should not under existing law have weapons to obtain them.”

But of course he's lying, right?

Yes and no - Carney's statement simply reflects political reality. A new AWB won't make it through the current Congress and Obama doesn't want to back something he knows won't get passed. All he would achieve by calling for a new AWB would be to further energize the "bitter clinger" crowd and raise money for the NRA.

He (and Romney) are going out of their way to NOT politicize this tragedy. Notice how both campaigns have taken their ads off the air? Obama is going to leave the politicization to others. He'll just sign the new AWB if it happens to land on his desk. That would be in line with his previously stated policy goals and stance on 2A issues.

after the report, my wife said why did he have 6000 rounds. so I took her up to the bedroom closet and showed her what 6000 rounds looked like (just in 5.56 and 7.62) . It sounds like a lot....but in actuality I bet most of us have more than that at home

Yup, I have 20,000 and it doesn't look like that much.

If a ban were set in place would exising owners get grandfathered in? Or would all current owners be forced to sell their firearms out of state/county/city?

The Beta-C mag jamming probably did save lives. I fail to see how this is haphazardly spewing ignorance.

So instead of reinstating the AWB, the govt should start subsidizing Beta-C.

I need to work on this more. I'm too broke, too young, or too stupid to not be stockpiling faster.

I am not sure why everyone is complaining. If we keep electing "retards" why should we expext any different outcomes?

I like how people want to ban hi cap mags too. People at work were talking about how we should regulate the sale of ammo and hi cap mags. I don't know how I work with these people but I guess they like the game of chance, if you give me less that is the lower the chance I have to defend myself.
