States push looser gun laws?

Are the individual states "pushing" for "looser" gun laws? Have the 2008 - 2009 fears of American Citizens that a new President Obama would bring back the Assault Weapons Ban and close the "Gunshow Loophole" been proven to be entirely without foundation?

Have I under-estimated the Obama Agenda?

Those are the general impressions one might get from reading this New York Times article dated February 24, 2010.

On the other time, the "The Times" article (it was republishede on the MSNBC Internet website) did a not-bad job of showing at least part of the two sides of the issue.

The fine folks at Handgun Control, Inc. The Brady Campaign to End Handgun Violence are extremely disappointed that Obama failed to meet their own private political agenda. The "fears" cited in the first paragraph are the goals of The Brady Bunch.

They are confused; they did not get the kind of leadership that they had hoped for from Obama.

Hah! Stand in line, Brady Bunch. You're just another "Obama Disappointed" group.
