Gun Control’s very bad year
It was a model year for it. Lots of dead kids, “white” guy shoots a black guy, and the Prez done went and put Noted Gun Expert Joe Biden in charge of pushing it.
But it went nowhere federally. Colorado and NY politicians are back peddling faster than Lance Armstrong when viewed in reverse.

Vice Presidents, like First Ladies, are put in charge of things that aren’t of vital national importance(Cheney excepted). Having VP Biden run the gun control effort was a way of saying to everyone, “Don’t worry, this won’t count.”

Like Miguel said, get ready for the next Round.
Look for Gun Control/Stand Your Ground/Reasonable Discourse to be spewing from the mouths of many Demacommie Congressional and Senatorial Candidates in 2014.
And it may play in the Purple States.
Which could be enough Votes to send the House back to Nancy Pelosi, while Harry Reid keeps the Senate. With Obama still in the White House.
Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.

Yeah sure, opposing “stand your ground” laws so that intended victims of violent crime are legally FORCED TO RETREAT in craven appeasement of criminals should be very popular among the people.
