Let's look at what's on the table for Obama and the incoming administration. The economy is in chaos, so to speak, with the stock market tumbling down, major companies like GM, Ford, etc., begging for financial assistance from the Feds, health care a stated concern, terrorists at the gate, and everything else you see on the news every night, do we really think that gun control is a priority for this administration? Obama is all about public opinion, and what do you think would happen to that public opinion if he starts doing things like pushing gun control legislation through while GM, Chrysler, and Ford all go belly up?
The reason I ask is this...a good friend, and strong RKBA advocate, said that in the course of history, this is a great time to be a gun owner while having an anti-gun president in the White House. Last time anti's pushed a measure through, and the votes at the next election showed that the public didn't like what they did. Add all of the concerns going on right now, and the fear that gun control is the third rail of politics these days, and he believes that Obama will not touch gun control issues with a ten foot poll. You might see something like a return of an AWB, but not the sweeping bans on handguns, etc., some people fear.
Any thoughts?
