NEWTOWN, Conn – -(Ammoland.com)- Preferring to talk more about climate change, President Obama’s continued his campaign for more gun control in his last State of the Union address this week, but it was only with passing reference and through visual cues that were touted in advance but that he never acknowledged verbally during his oration.
So, the pace set by last week’s White House gathering of anti-gun activists and CNN Town Hall meeting clearly was not accelerated.
To the contrary, while there was some grumbling on behalf of the anti-gun constituency, those parties had to be largely satisfied, having already been given their due.
National Shooting Sports Foundation sponsored a well-attended, two-hour State of the Union reception on Capitol Hill before the President’s address, providing an opportunity for your Government Relations team members to speak with dozens of lawmakers and staff from both the House and Senate and both sides of the aisle.
The topics of conversation: President Obama’s Executive Actions and National Shooting Sports Foundation legislative priorities in 2016.

Having said that, I am also strongly devoted to truth and very strongly opposed to “news” outlets that disseminate OPINIONS as if they are “news”. Like virtually every… Read more »
Thank you representing us. It is likely that we will not hear much more from our President on this matter. He has more pressing matters to address before leaving office.
He was too busy spouting “empty rhetoric”.
Impeachment proceedings MUST be started against ‘b.0bama’, the APPOINTED ‘president’.
He didn’t have to with his executive order. Everyone, please contact you congressmen by email, and demand that a bill be introduced to make executive orders illegal. This by passed the legislature and the American people and sets him up as a tyrant king. The pen is mightier than the soward with this.
Why should the POS say anything about guns in his final SOTU address? He has the BS power of his EO pen.
