I’ve been hearing comments that the Democrats are going to be keeping a low profile where gun-control is concerned. That since they didn’t raise it as an issue during the campaign that its not going to be on their agenda in Congress. Fat Chance! Have people forgotten that this is the part that hides its true color until they get into power? Here’s just a single snip from a NYT article -

“It’s not just committees — our influence within the House Democratic caucus will grow enormously,” Mr. Rangel said in an interview.

To that end, he sketched out an expansive federal agenda: Teaming up with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on gun control, passing new tax incentives for urban job programs, and redirecting federal money to New York in return for the outsize tax collections that the federal government makes here.

You can be darned sure that this is just the start.
