The key thing here is that we need to have an open, honest debate and it's just not happening. Meanwhile ...
Gun nuts are terrified Obama is going to take away their guns. But gun nuts are ignorant cowards who have failed to notice that Obama hasn't done anything except make it easier to bring guns into national parks.

I assume he's gained some political capital by coddling the nutters, but it's not apparent he's spent that capital? If he hasn't used his wishy-washy positioning on gun control for some political gain, WTF is he doing?
