Regulating Guns in the US - 2nd Obama Term

BBC News: Reports that a measure to ban assault weapons has been dropped by the US Senate. 

Lets Get Real:

The Oval and the Democrats should have taken the political heat and push for very strict gun laws, the US does not need millions of guns out there, the US Citizen on the whole can always call on the Police or private security for protection.   The Democrats on the Hill are worried about the 2014 Mid Term Elections and then the Presidential election of 2016, in other words politics is more important than saving lives.    The Oval should have made gun regulation a legacy quest, it should have kept the issue on the Hill in till the Congress was willing to save US Citizens from gun violence, the UK has very strict gun laws and is a better society for it, yes there are killings with guns, but its rare, on this issue this blog is very firm, its better to lose an election doing the right thing than allowing people die, shame on the US Congress and the Oval.
