If the NRA isn't going ballistic, then I'd have to conclude that any measures Obama proposes will be pretty mild. Besides the GOP house would have to approve anything.
Probably nothing to get your knickers in a knot over.
When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. – Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President of the United States

This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future! – Adolph Hitler, 1935, on The Weapons Act of Nazi Germany

Registration is only a step.
The prohibition of private firearms is the goal." Janet Reno

"A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device
to deny gun ownership to the people." Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
"If the opposition (citizen) disarms, well and good.

interesting how the liberals, fascists, nazi's, communists are the ones who want gun control....hmm
Obama is currently in a mode of fence straddling and appeasement. He is trying his best to please as many people as possible with his words so that he can be reelected. My bet is that he makes push for minor changes in gun laws so he can tell his far left wack job base that strict gun control is a long hard process and we have to take small steps. He will then campaign to independents saying he respects gun ownership and only wanted minor tweaks to prevent tragedies. Nothing will get through the GOP house anyway, so all he is doing is trying to appease the gun hating left.
Personally, I would love it if he would just be honest and speak from his heart and tell everyone that he wants guns banned with minor exceptions for hunters. It would be refreshing to hear him be truthful first and foremost. Second, it would never go anywhere legislatively. Third, it would make it damn near impossible for him to be reelected.

Nah, they still think that hitler was a conservative!
The shooting in AZ was unimportant,it is something that given the size of the nation and the number of firearms matters little except to those looking to distract stupid voters.
Talking crap in a speech got exactly nothing done....same as every other time.
The shooting in AZ was not unimportant - it ended six innocent lives and wounded many people. We need to ban all firearms.
