You're one of the people I remembered stuck to their guns on Obama not being a bad politician/president for guns, dispite a LOT of contrary evidence.
He admittedly sought a ban on the sale of semi-automatic firearms back in 1998. However, people's opinions about things do change.
Still think he changed his opinion or do you think he was just telling people what they thought they wanted to hear? AG Holder just announced plans to re-introduce the Assault Weapons Ban. I'm pretty darn certain we'll see MORE types of weapons included in what's banned. Down to things with enbloc clips like Garands and weapons like the M1 Carbine classified as assault weapons. The versions I've seen floated around for the past year or so are FAR more intrusive and FAR more expansive.
We're also hearing rumblings of plans to close down exports of ammunition to countries like Canada and other State department level controls on the import of firearms parts to pretty much close down inexpensive soviet block parts for AK and SKS type weapons. Barrels, magazines, etc
Consider this the "I bloody well told you so." comment.
