The Hill newspaper reports that President Obama will use the 100 day anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting to rebuild momentum for his gun ban agenda. With Congress and recent polls indicating that few of the proposals still have support wide support, the White House is battling the perception that the move is out of fear none of their agenda is going to pass.
Earnest also disputed the notion that Obama was pressing now over fear that momentum on a gun bill had stalled as time passed since the Newtown shooting. He noted that by the White House’s count, the president and vice president had held 20 events on gun violence since the shooting, and he said the decision to appoint Vice President Biden as the point man on the issue underscored the importance of the issue.
Time is not on their side. Obama new the longer the country moved away from the shooting, the public would also move on and support for any proposals would drop with it. That is why he wanted to roll out something within a month. What he could not control was the timeline of Congress. By the time the Senate takes up its bill we will be into mid to late April.
