Nice of them to notice

Call them what you want, “mainstream media”, “legacy media” or just “lame”, once again they’re late to the party. This one’s been floating around the gun part of the blogosphere for a while.

The Obama administration, after keeping gun control on the back burner for over two years, is prompting concern among gun rights groups that it’s slowly starting to squeeze the trigger on tighter regulation.

In the wake of the January shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others, President Obama remained mostly quiet on the firearms front as lawmakers clamored for new restrictions. But the president has since made a public call for tougher background checks. The Justice Department launched a series of meetings with officials and advocates to examine gun control policy. And while gun-control bills in Congress have languished, the administration has started to chip around the edges with its own proposals.

This is why, whether you’re a gunnie or someone who just supports the Constitution, you need to stay informed and stay active. Remember, the multiple rifle comment period closes soon, so go comment on it.
