Well, Obama has been an excellent gun salesman. Under him, government tyranny has become less of a silly whimsy and more of a realistic concern. I joined the NRA specifically due to Obama's threats to the 2nd amendment.

I'd say it remained a silly whimsy, as shown by exactly how much he has actually done on that front, and you got conned into thinking they were a realistic concern.

Only small portions of those groups actually care about gun control in a meaningful way. The threat is massively overblown by people trying to rally poltiical support, and the fact of this is reflected by the political successes enjoyed by pro2A groups in recent years.

I can try and spin any hot button issue that way...

I'd say he was checked by the people.

Face it, Obama's attempts to gun grab have backfired. It's got to be one of the most difficult parts of his legacy of failure for him to live with.

Ah, you're trolling. Carry on.

He is probably pretty angry about this. He's plotting another executive order before he leaves office, so that he can enact some sort of gun control. He wants to get back at the people who've stood in his way. That is what a narcissist does. Remember I said this.

Thanks to Congress (including several in his own party).

Well, that's just my point. Over here guns are barely an issue, gun ownership largely a rural phenomenon with an overwhelmingly urbanised population, so all it takes is a few weeks of attention following a mass shooting to institute knee-jerk gun control (by the conservative government I should point out).
In the US, under the same circumstances, you get a similar short lived reaction, predominantly from elements of the urban, left-wing, and a MASSIVE concerted and ongoing reaction against that from the conservative right. Overwhelmingly so, to the point where gun laws were liberalised across the nation. Combine that with the election campaigning explicitly addressing gun ownership (unthinkable over here), the special interest groups, funding and lobbying, and it certainly appears that the American conservative right cares a whole lot more about gun ownership, as a political issue and an element of identity politics, than the American left cares about gun control.

Agree. And it's sad, because there's been a silver lining that we all should approve of... Jobs.

I'm not a fan of infowars as a news source, but it's nice to see good news when it's scarce.
 
Speaking of guns, I remember people saying the Colorado cinema and Charleston church shootings were orchestrated by the Obama administration as part of a campaign to enact stricter gun laws.

The American left cares a lot about gun control. They'd take them from us if they could. But we won't stand for it.

Well, to be as fair as I can, I think it's just because it's s loser of an issue logically. We all know that guns (themselves) don't kill people.
