It's not about banning firearms. I say this for two reasons. First, you don't put Joe Biden in charge of anything if you want accomplish something. I don't know of thing in he's been put in charge in the last 4 years that has accomplished what it's set out to do and now he's put in charge of championing Dianne Feinstien's assault weapons ban? Fienstien's record of having any bill she has sponsored since she has been in Congress is less than 10 %. (more like 6 or 7 %) Not exactly the people you would put in charge of any legislation you really wanted passed.
Second, by bringing up the hot button topic of gun control you divert attention away from the things that make the President and the Democrats look bad at the moment.. The Benghazi report is out and it's not favorable towards the State Department or Hillary. The no compromise approach from Obama on the “Fiscal Cliff”. Poor foreign policy and a host of other things that aren't quite going their way.
No I think real end game is taking control of both House's come the mid-term elections. When the fiscal cliff hits next month Obama will be blaming the Republicans and the evil rich people while taking no responsibility for his own no compromise positions. If by chance he does compromise a little the economy is still going to be bad and may get worse but then again he can blame the Republicans because he was forced to compromise.
The way things are going there will be another mass shooting sometime in the next two years, (I think the Democratic leadership is betting there will be) then the blame will be placed on the “Obstructionist Republicans” and the people who “cling to their Bibles and guns” for failure to pass a gun control bill in 2013.
It's a bad time for Republicans and conservatives, a damned if you do and damned if you don't kind of time. Give Obama what he wants on the budget and lose votes, hold fast and take the blame for the economy not improving, lose votes. Give into gun control, lose votes, hold fast and when another mass shooting occurs, lose votes.
No the real end game is getting control of Congress. The Democrats squandered the first 2 years of Obama's presidency when they had a super majority and now are looking for ways to get it back. Imagine what will happen if they get another super majority with a lame duck president and 2 years in which to do damage. That's a thought that should make one shudder.
No it's not about gun control but it is about control, control of Congress and therefor control of people's everyday lives. The Democratic and liberal leadership aren't stupid but they do count on the short sightedness, greed and stupidity of their constituents. The only counter move is to try and educate people on what their true end game is and hope for the best.
