Didn't expect the gun and ammo bans to pass, but really thought that universal background checks most likely would.
Was hoping that universal checks would be a step in the right direction (without a registry) in keeping more guns out of the wrong hands. But, looks like Obama's lost a lot of support/momentum on that front. Or, a lot of congresspersons voiced hollow support right after Newtown and backed off when the heat died down, despite overwhelming public support (according to polls).
Ah well, the administrative orders to promote better mental illness tracking and reporting are positive steps that might help, and it seems like safety awareness at schools and public places remains higher than it was before December. Good things.
