Nothing more than political expediency.
When Obama actually proves he's pro-2nd Amendment, it would be a first.

If we can make it politically expedient to back off of gun control, then so be it.

The place to put pressure is on Congress.
Obama doesn't care about political pressure from the NRA. He only cares to the extent he could lose his congressional power base. And Congress cares because they could lose their jobs, over an issue that many of them are not passionate about. If you are going to fight over something and lose your career over it, better be something that is worthwhile (i.e. enriches yourself / family / friends / cronies). |
