Obama is very aware an anti-gun stance would've kept him from the White House. The media made no attempt at properly vetting him, and effectively hid his anti-gun history.
No politician has made any attempt at being openly supportive of gun-control since Bush beat Gore in 2000. They even go the other way... we all remember Kerry duck hunting with a Browning Gold, the same gun he tried to ban as having "no sporting purpose".
Democrats know their only chance is to stay away from our guns.
