Americans overwhelmingly support a ban on assault weapons and Obama's position is not that different from Bill Clinton's who certainly wasnt hurt by his position.
Gun control is also hardly a defning issue for most americans....ranking nowhere near the top of any list of priorities like the Iraq war, the economy, terrorism, health care, immigration, education, taxes, or even abortion and gay rights.
Its a loser issue for you, DK.

You might want to check your facts. The last I heard, Obama spoke out against race-based affirmative action as too divisive and past its time...and in favor of some limited form of class-based affirmative action.
Jut as an aside, its bullshit like this that creeps into many discussions here (another example is ace's baseless declaration in another thread... "No matter how you look at it Democrats are weak on defense), based on innuendo, misinformation and blatantly false talking points spread by wingnut pundits and bloggers.
Perhaps that is why the quality and quantity of TFP political discussions have been on the decline.
