NYT: States push looser gun laws

When President Obama took office, gun rights advocates sounded the alarm, warning that he intended to strip them of their arms and ammunition.

And yet the opposite is happening. Mr. Obama has been largely silent on the issue while states are engaged in a new and largely successful push for expanded gun rights, even passing measures that have been rejected in the past.

In Virginia, the General Assembly approved a bill last week that allows people to carry concealed weapons in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol, and the House of Delegates voted to repeal a 17-year-old ban on buying more than one handgun a month. The actions came less than three years after the shootings at Virginia Tech that claimed 33 lives and prompted a major national push for increased gun control.

Obama and Holder are waiting for the second term. Let's hope he's a one term Prez.

Yup. I'm thinking if he gets a second term then that will be a primary focus....unless he end runs this UN treaty and twits in blue helmets land on your front lawn riding black helicopters....
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...
