Did anyone really expect that the POTUS is ever going to do anything in support of gun owners? His position concerning firearms has been on the record since his Chicago days. While his feelings on Gay marriage have “evolved”, the only evolution concerning guns to be expected is getting tougher on those who are not the problem, as opposed to seeking measures that actually do something concerning where the problems really lie.
