Obama wanted to do this, but the NRA blocked his choice for Surgeon General.

Why the NRA Is Blocking Obama’s Surgeon General Nominee

It’s not about his record: it’s part of a longstanding effort to make discussion of gun violence taboo, and to keep the gun industry unregulated.

I don’t think people realize how far the NRA has gone to block ANY legislation that will reduce gun sales. We have bad gun laws not because of the lack of effort from government, but specifically how much effort the NRA has put in to stop it.

They went bankrupt funding progun policy.
