Is Gun Control Obama's Iraq War?

The reaction from the right over the purposed gun control measure sure reminds me a lot of the lefts reaction to the Iraq War. In the long term I do not think any gun control laws that get passed will cause Obama as much trouble as a war, but there is defiantly a parallel here. Both sides will tell you that each of these cases was an overreaction to a crisis. The need to payback someone for 9-11 and the cause of keeping children safe both sound noble. It is the unintended consequences that cause the trouble though. We all know how the Iraq War played out. While this gun ban will be similar to the 1994 ban, it will not stop all violence. This will also give the right a rally cry to oppose the presidents other legislation. It is already tough to get things done in a second term. This new angle may make it even tougher. When the president looks back in four years, I can only wonder if he will still think about this issue in the same way.
