“Senior law enforcement sources said the proposal from the ATF was held up by the White House in early summer. The sources, who asked to be anonymous because they were discussing internal deliberations, said that the effort was shelved by then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel … The plan… was perceived as too volatile just before midterm elections, the sources said.”

But wait…  [Emanuel spokesman] “LaBolt said that Emanuel recommended Andy Traver of Chicago to be nominated by Obama to be director of the ATF and was the “point man” in the Clinton administration when Congress passed an assault weapons ban and required background checks for gun sales”  Mr. Traver has been exposed all over the internet as a gun owning citizen hater who will stop at nothing to suppress the rights of citizens to own & use firearms.

So in summary, the Obama white house orchestrates a scheme to register long guns.

They craft it under the guise of stemming the alleged flow of guns into Mexico.  That myth has already been debunked.  Realizing that the plan jeopardized the political futures of several prominent Democrats, the administration held it until after the 2010 mid term elections.   The same guy who pushed for holding up the registration plan recommends Andrew Traver to lead BATFE.  It all fits quite nicely.
