WASHINGTON — President Obama endorsed controversial bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines on Monday, as well as stricter background checks for gun buyers — but conceded he may not win approval of all in a Congress reluctant to tighten restrictions.
‘‘Will all of them get through this Congress? I don’t know,’’ said Obama. He said lawmakers would have to ‘‘examine their own conscience’’ as they tackle gun control legislation after the horrifying Connecticut school shootings.

Who wrote this DISHONEST headline? "Obama unsure Congress will pass gun limits". Obama is completely SURE that Democratic Party Senators will not vote for a anti-gun bill. In fact, they don't even want a bill to be on the Senate floor for a vote. Anti-gun Ted Kennedy completely backed off supporting gun legislation, something that the Globe hopes you will have forgotten about.
