Obama More Bullish On Background Checks Than Weapons Ban

Taking his push for gun control on the road Monday, President Obama confidently predicted that Congress would approve universal background checks for gun buyers but tempered expectations for a ban on assault weapons.

Obama's remarks to a cadre of law enforcement leaders in Minneapolis crystallized the battle lines in the contentious debate over how to reduce gun violence in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

Exactly, if and when he comes clean he can ask me to accept the same. Not until.
Back ground checks for all!
Categorize us, demonize us, tax us prohibitively, investigate us
WHEN he unseals ALL of his records, history, liaison's with the communist party (father in law and mentors) and the meaning of the inscription on his ring!

Registering your guns means confiscation of your guns! Everyone that registers their guns is telling the government you have guns. Come and get me and my guns please.
