At tonight's State of the Union Address, Obama's primary focus is expected to be the economy. Secondarily, he will be lobbying the country for support of new gun control laws. Present at the address will be Gabby Giffords and the mother of a child murdered at Sandy Hook. According to the linked article below, millions in advertising dollars is being spent on gun control advertisements aimed at increasing public support for new laws.
Most of the focus will be on getting the universal background check proposal passed as that measure has wider bi-partisan Congressional and public support. Any laws related to bans of specific guns and ammo are expected to be a very hard sell in the Senate and an "uphill battle".
