Carney said Biden continues to play a leading role in the gun
control effort. He reiterated that the administration would continue to
press for legislation and suggested lawmakers who opposed the last version
would feel public pressure."In the end, senators who voted against the overwhelming
will of their constituents may reconsider if they hear from those same
constituents and hear how important these common-sense measures are to them,"
he said.The Obama-supporting Organizing for Action is working hard on the
sidelines to apply that pressure. That group's home page, as of Friday
afternoon, featured a sign-up for a petition supporting legislation.The
lead post on the page claimed that poll numbers for lawmakers who
opposed the legislation last month have dropped."Want proof that what OFA
volunteers are doing is working? The senators who voted against expanding

Bombs," the 22,000-pound previous generation of bunker busters first built
in 2003 but never used outside of tests. Officials are confident the
newest bunker-buster can dismantle even the deepest and most fortified nuclear
facility.- Senior U.S. official"Hopefully we never have to use it," a senior
U.S. official familiar with the development of the new version told The
Wall Street Journal. "But if we had to, it would work."The Pentagon
redesigned the bomb with more advanced features intended to enable it to
penetrate even deeper, giving it the ability to destroy Iran's most heavily
fortified and defended nuclear site. U.S. officials see development of the
weapon as critical to convincing Israel that the U.S. has the ability
to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb if diplomacy fails, and
