However, momentum does seem to be building behindmost of the president s proposals. Wall street journal saying the Senate Democrats include a bill limiting magazine clips and universal background checks despite continuing opposition of the nra. Its a fraud to call it universal. It is never going to be universal. The criminals arent going to comply with it. They could care less. And factor this one in. An ad by mayors against illegal guns ran during the super bowl. It pointed out that the nra once supported closing the socalled gun show loophole. The nra once supported background checks. We think its reasonable to provide mandatory instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show. No loopholes anywhere for anyone. Let me bring in our political panel. Radio talk show host and ms nns contributor michael smerkonish, mar gi o may ra and republican strategist hogan gitley. I should point out the president already arrived in minneapolis.
