koreans are taking right now. chris: turn to guns. the president told the victims of newtown that he would use all the powers of his presidency to push for new gun controls to try to prevent more massacres like this. now, as the senate takes up the bill, and maybe this week, the ban on assault weapons is dead, a plan to limit the size of these high capacity magazines is in great trouble and even the idea, although it has broad public support of beings anding background checks is in trouble. question. why has the president been so in ineffective in pushing his plan. let s be very clear. the president has pushed very hard. he was in denver. last week he is headed to connecticut to make his case. he has martialledth martialled the american people to his side. 90% of americans support background checks.
