Once agaiin, Obama's position is being distorted by the NRA, Op eds and ace.
It should be more accurately described as supporting state/local options to enact their own legislation to limit or restrict gun ownership that meet a Constitutional test.
The only restriction that I believe he supports at the federal level is a return of the ban on semi-automatics that had bi-partisan support when first enacted in the 90s but not enough to overcome a Republican filibuster when it was up for reauthorization several years ago.
