So..... I wonder what the other hand was doing "under the radar" while we were watching the one with the AWB.
If he had the votes for an AWB, it would have been introduced right after the shooting. He knew he didn't but to avoid letting a good crisis go to waste, he appointed Biden to head up an effort to have highly publicized meetings with antis and the NRA. Sure, he's hoping to gain some ground for his side in the area of gun control, but his real purpose here is diversion. A high cap magazine ban would just be a bonus for him. Two months ago, everyone on the right was railing against spending and the unchecked expansion of the federal governement. Now we are all "dug in" for our fight to retain our RKBA while he continues to tax and spend us into oblivion. What do you hear in the media (or even on the internet) about irresponsible spending now? Nothing.............<sound of crickets>
A diversion in deed. As you mention the so called fiscal cliff. The middle class just took another shellacking and few are talking about it.
