Of course he can try but he can only go so far. I don't think there is any chance he could make enough deals to ban guns no matter how hard he tried.
I''m not saying that they need to loosen restrictions. There is no need to tighten restrictions on legal owners.
Tougher, ENFORCED penalties for criminals would accomplish more.

I agree that Obama does not have the clout to ban them currently. He has stated that he wants to make progress after re-election though, which is a scary thought. He still won't have the deal making power, but could set the groundwork for future presidents. We need to always be vigilant of our government's actions - that is your civic duty.
