You are looking in the wrong place, or not listening to comments made by Obama in the past 4 years. Placation of the anti-gun crowd? Perhaps. But with the UN arms treaty talks now being on the table, again, and the US officials talking out of both sides of their mouth, this is a real possibility. Dedicated hunters tend to have a doesn't-apply-to-me attitude; while initially this is true, there is a slippery slope.
