It appears so. But you know, those were different times too. Now we have a failed Assault Weapons ban,
crime rates that are going down despite increase in gun ownership and deregulation in many areas. We have
Supreme Court decisions, etc. So it's not like Obama didn't want to do stuff, it's just that his presidency
happened to be during the time when gun control went out of fashion
That and people recognized the lack of intelligent thought and logic of gun control.
