Add to that the fact that they have much more pressing issues on their plate, like rebuilding the economy and trying to repair the damage Bush has done. Obama literally needs to pull off a second FDR administration, and he doesn't have 3-and-change terms to do it in. This is not the kind of guy who gets distracted by less-important-things, as we saw in how he conducted himself in the campaign. Even if he secretly wants to steal every gun in the country, which he doesn't, he realizes he doesn't have time to even think about it.
