Nearly 4 months after Newtown NRA scores big over Obama
In the battle of President Obama versus the NRA - it looks like victory is going to the guns.
Not one piece of federal legislation has passed since the Newtown shooting rampage.
No assault weapons ban.
No limit on magazine capacity.
No background checks.
Today, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney brought up the background checks during the White House briefing.
"I think most Americans believe it makes absolute sense to check the criminal record of someone before they're allowed to purchase a gun," Carney said.
Recent polls say 90% of Americans agree with him. But there has been no legislation touching background checks.
Why has the victory gone to the NRA?
Outfront tonight: Jennifer Rubin, "Right Turn" Blogger for the WashingtonPost.com and Mark Glaze, Director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
Samoa Air to charge more for heavier passengers

Samoa Air is not quite as big as, say, American or Delta or even JetBlue. It's a smaller airline.
Their small fleet of small puddle jumpers hold between eight and 12 people.
And the airline serves just a small number of islands in the South Pacific Ocean.
But could this so-called "fat-tax" be coming to a major airline near you?
