In reply to the discussion: Obama says rural voices need to be heard in gun debate [View all]phleshdef
(11,936 posts)President Obama already put forward a set of gun control proposals that include assault weapon bans and mag limits and a ton of other regulations, studies and proposals that we need. A big chunk of this country is against any gun control whatsoever. Barack Obama is their President too. This is their country too. And unless he can win over the constituencies of a considerable number of Republicans and rural Democrats on some of these measures he has proposed, then theres very little chance of any of this stuff getting passed, even the stuff that both sides would normally agree on if politics weren't in the way.
I don't know why so many other liberals get offended when this President acts like the level headed statesman that he is. I guess I should be glad they are keyboard warrior-ing on DU instead of having an actual leadership role in government, otherwise this government would get even less done than it already does.
