douthat's not very sensible; his brand of godbothering and moralizing is just less anti-intellectual than most.

there's tons of middle ground between shaking people down for their guns and gun show loophole, you can put all sorts of restrictions on what guns get sold new by manufacturers, you can pass liability laws that impose civil or criminal penalties for irresponsibility (i.e. leaving your gun out where a kid or dog or w/e can get it), you can hold a gun seller liable if they do not perform 'reasonable' levels of scrutiny on a customer if that turns out to be a straw purchase etc.

Why did Obama set up a podium instead of just talking from the Resolute Desk? It looks a little weird.

He hates giving speeches sitting down, but is using the Oval Office because it puts more force behind the statement.

I think the thing that bothers me with this is they keep referring to him as Mr. Obama. Pretty sure you are suppose to refer to him as President Obama.

Just a weird nitpicky thing.

nope, that's an AP Style thing. nothing disrepectful at all.

It was pretty bleak that when he started talking about a recent mass shooting I wasn't sure which one he was talking about until he said "San Bernardino".

I'm hoping for a "gun for every American citizen" policy to come out of left field, then a collective sigh of relief to all conservatives , and the grim realization that everyonewould have a gun.

Obama's recommendations for Congress:

1. No guns for individuals on the "No Fly List"
2. Prohibition on high caliber weapons
3. Stronger screening for individuals who come to U.S. without visa
4. AUMF for a war against ISIS

Only one of those is going to happen.

Yeah, Republicans bitched about it for a while after W was elected because it showed that the liberal media didn't respect Bush or the office and were barely a step above the people "stealing W's from keyboards."

In all actuality I believe the reasoning is to show that elected leaders are members of a nominally classless society.

Probably none, since I'm guessing it'll prove impossible to get a compromise on (3).

Which one? 3? Because even if it's passed, that one's not getting the required funding and it's only going to dissuade travel to the US further.

Didn't they do it long before 2001 though? Was that just a case of selective acceptance of reality because I'm certain the practice didn't start with Bush.
