An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

So it should have been a breeze for him to push the bill through if he actually wanted to.

Congress presents bills for the President to sign.
He never received a bill to sign.

As the article suggests he didn't really have the will. He paid lip service to it but didn't really want it.

The article is one persons opinion with a perceived slant...can you guess which way?
I gotta believe that GWB's attention was else where after 9/11....
If it was such a big deal it would have arrived on his desk and he would have signed it as he indicated.

The article discusses how all politicians give lip service to gun controls but then when it comes to the votes they show they have no will so the article was dead on which you just proved.

He should have done more for sure...

"There is little more that Obama could have done on gun control," UCLA constitutional law professor Adam Winkler said. "The president's power is limited, and the NRA wrote the laws to restrict what the executive can do.

By January 2016, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said that Obama still supported a ban, but Congress wouldn’t budge on the issue. Obama announced further actions that month, amid more tears for victims.

That round of executive actions included further augmenting licensing requirements and background checks, funding more federal agents, tracing guns found during investigations to determine trafficking patterns, and guiding U.S. attorneys to go after felons looking to buy guns or people lying in order to pass background checks. The Justice Department also boosted funding for background check records, especially mental health records."

Hard to sell Obama as anti gun with the whole fast and furious thing.

The political bias is evident in you thinking Bush somehow should have pushed Pelosi and Reid.
His willingness to sign a bill should be enough to motivate those who write bills to get one passed and on to the presidents desk.
Pelosi and Reid provided lip service, but failed to get a bill to the White House.

The Constitution restricts what the President can do, not the NRA.
