    Top Democrats optimistic Congress will pass gun control legislation, with outside Washington help  Published January 20, 2013

  Top Democrats expressed confidence Sunday that Congress will pass significant gun-control legislation, with the backing of Washington lawmakers and pressure from Americans across the country.
David Plouffe, a senior adviser for President Obama, acknowledged the president’s gun-control proposals will need public support to pass in Congress and said the White House will try to “enlist” Americans in the debate through its newly formed, grassroots advocacy group.
 
“We are trying to enlist the American people in these debates,” Plouffe said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” “The only way change is going to really happen and make progress is with the American people. … They need to be involved at the center of this and pushing here.”
However, he argued that Obama essentially converting his re-election campaign into the group Organizing for Action doesn’t mean the president has abandoned efforts to persuade congressional Democrats and Republicans to vote for more gun control – following the December 14 massacre at a Connecticut elementary school in which 20 first-graders and six adults were killed.
“We haven’t given up on the inside game,” Plouffe told “Fox News Sunday” earlier in the day. “You have to do both.”
 
The president last week announced his gun-control plan, which includes enacting a new and stronger assault-weapons ban, limiting magazines to 10 rounds, background checks for prospective buyers and extending mental health treatment to young Americans.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., also expressed confidence Sunday that Congress would pass some gun-control legislation, particularly his bill for universal background checks.
Schumer, chairman of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the background check proposal was the “sweet spot” of the debate and that Americans will likely see support for it “in the coming weeks.”
 
Efforts by Democrats and some Republicans to pass gun-control legislation in Congress begin in earnest when lawmakers return to Washington after the inauguration.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has said after the fatal shootings in Newtown, Conn., that she would introduce legislation calling for a 10-year ban on assault weapons, like the one she got Congress to pass in 1994.
 
Republicans on Sunday were less optimistic about Congress passing sweeping legislation.
Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso said Obama’s proposals won’t even get a full Senate vote.
Barrasso told CNN’s “State of the Union” that Democrats seeking re-election in a conservative state would not give their support.
 
“I don’t think Sen. Harry Reid even brings it to the Senate floor because he has six Democrats up for election in two years in states where the president received fewer than 42 percent of the votes,” he said.
Supporters of more gun-control legislation also will face strong opposition from gun-rights advocacy groups, particularly the National Rifle Association.

I wonder if all this support they claim they are getting is as fabricated as the votes they got in the
last election ?

Probably alot of truth in that.
 
I still believe the look in Obama's face wheh he held that press conference said it all.  He tried, and failed to take immediate action against our rights. This whole "feel optimistic" outlook thing is nothing more than motivational speech at an attemt to keep the gun grabbers focused.
 
It would really appear that he may be running out of BS steam.  It's pretty much up to congress now and it for the mst part is out of his hands.  like a said in another post. the people spoke when they started buying all the guns and ammo, and higher ups started threatening to NOT enforce any new changes concernign gun control.
It's all a hot mess...........

It's scary that we're even worried about it with a Republican controlled house.

We thought we had support in one house in NY, and look what happened to us, There are a lot of them you should not count on. I still say write offten and keep calling them.
I wen to the Albany NY rally this past Sat. There were 2000 to 3000 people there, I was hoping for 6000 . On the way home I stopped at a local gun shop to see if he had some items I need. There were 15(   or-) at the shop all compiling about these new laws, I asked how many went to the rally, not one and all had bs excuses, the owner replied loudly " most people have made plans on Sat." I left and will not go there again. But this is our problem and I don't know the cure. Then there are the three idiots the fired shots at the gun shows this week end. One was just stupid the other 2 could have been planed but who knows.

People don't stand together.  at this site people have insulted others for the way they hunt deer.
others think that small "infringements" on the 2nd amendment is okay.
If we don't stand together, all freedoms will go by the board.
some people are too ignorant of history to see where the current crop of liberals are taking us.
