BHO is busy putting more nails in the lid of the future of his adminstration.
Today he has Kerry in Moscow seeking to "jawbone" Putin into abandoning his Syrian client. Putin has no reason to do that and the effort will fail. This will weaken the BHO Administration.
DoD released a report today that shows that reported sexual assaults in the armed forces rose by a third in number since 2010. BHO's reaction was visible anger and threats of various kind. I am in favor of maximum action against people who perpetrate such crimes, but BHO's confidence in his fixed idea that human behavior is easily modified by government fiat is misplaced. The armed forces reflect society. US society today is much more loose about personal conduct than it was a generation ago. Gender roles and rules are scorned as a basis for organizing society. Gays are a protected minority. All rules concerning sex are falling by the side of the road in the military as in the larger society. It will be saidby some that these problems are like those of the Blacks in the US military in the long ago. Well, maybe so, but it took a hell of a long time to make a reality of the changes made by Truman in 1952. BHO is a social engineer. This is a difficult engineering problem.
Immigration "reform" will probably fail in the legislative process. The left, the right and the Latino activists are united in one thing. They don't like the proposed law. More failure.
The anti-gunners are busy convincing themselves that if Harry Reid will put Manchin-Toomey up for a vote one more time.... "After all. It is just common sense." Obama wants that vote.
Good Luck pl
As was pointed out on other threads the incarceration of lower level criminals for longer periods of tme has contributed to lower crime rates. "having a gun handy..." is that your supposition as these stats don't prove that at all.
