WHY OBAMA IS LOSING ON GUNS: “It is a misnomer, then, to blame the ‘gun lobby’ for the difficulty in passing legislation. The red-state Democrats, like most of their Republican colleagues, are reflecting their own constituents’ views.”

Also, support for gun control is weak — it’s a much lower priority to voters than jobs, the economy, etc. Only a priority for the political/journalistic class. Because, you know, they have jobs.
