President Obama just gave a speech about it this week, and they do have a bill making its way through the channels, pretty much on the schedule they set at the start of the year. The problem is not that "the politicians have forgotten" - it is more like the problem is the politicians have not forgotten, and the ones who control the House and the keys to the filibuster in the Senate are determined to let as little happen as possible. Even so, the chances are not bad that they will get something done on background checks and ammunition clips, and at least our senior Senator has not given up on the assault weapons ban (and maybe Reid has a trick or two still up his sleeve on that). -- -- TV or Not TV ....
