According to The Blaze, Boston Mayor, Tom Merino, says that VP Joe Biden "guaranteed" him that Pres Obama will pass sweeping gun control legislation by the end of January, 2013.
“He said, ‘Tommy, I guarantee you, we’ll get it done by the end of January,’” Menino reportedly said at City Hall on Thursday. “They’re going to get it done.” (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/boston-mayor-says-biden-guaranteed-him-obama-will-pass-major-gun-control-reform-by-end-of-january/)
One good point made in the article is that Obama does not have to care whom he upsets with this term, as he cannot run for re-election anyway. Between him, and Feinstein out in CA, we could be looking at sweeping legislation by Executive Order, regardless of the protections guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution.
New legislation seems more than a little hypocritical though, given that the administration does not even obey the existing laws in place regarding purchase of firearms, and supplies them, illegally, to Mexican drug cartels, who then use them to kill Federal officers.
