President Barack Obama has campaigned for gun control legislation after lone gunmen killed innocent civilians last year in both Colorado and Connecticut. Yet, as Politico reported Tuesday morning, gun control legislation is in danger of not passing the Democratically-controlled Senate, let alone the GOP-controlled House. Furthermore, a Gallup poll released Monday shows that restrictions on guns ranks very low–4 percent–among a list of “most important” issues for Americans.
Mark Kelly, the husband of former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords and the founder of a pro-gun control super PAC, told reporters Tuesday that the “gun lobby” in Washington holds more sway over members of Congress than Obama does. Asked by THE WEEKLY STANDARD why the president hasn’t been able to more effectively use the bully pulpit to get a tougher gun control bill, Kelly placed the blame on groups like the National Rifle Association.
