Barack Obama, Democrats Now Own Gun ‘Control’

In case there were still any doubts that U.S. President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats don’t own the gun “control” issue now, check out this portion of tonight’s State of the Union address:

“Democrats chant ‘Vote!’ as Obama calls for more gun control during State of the Union”

I was a U.S. Senate aide during the 104th United States Congress (1995-1997). You know, the one where Republicans won majorities in the House and Senate for the first time since the 1950s. And I remember distinctly what a number of Democrats said about their push for more gun “control” and securing a 10-year-ban on “assault weapons” just prior to the “Republican Revolution:”

What the hell were we thinking.

Probably not political hara-kiri, which is what resulted.

Something tells me President Obama and Democrats of the 113th Congress are hoping Mark Twain was wrong about his notion that history doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.

They’ll find out soon enough, like on November 4, 2014, when elections are held for 33 out of 100 U.S. Senate seats and all 435 U.S. House seats.
