FILE - In this July 13, 2012 file photo, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi speaks to reporters at the Presidential palace in Cairo. President Barack Obama begins his second term straining to maintain a good relationship with Egypt, an important U.S. ally whose president is a conservative Islamist walking a fine line between acting as a moderate peace broker and keeping his Muslim Brotherhood party happy with anti-American rhetoric. The White House last summer had hoped to smooth over some of the traditional tensions between Washington and the Brotherhood, a party rooted in opposition to Israel and the U.S., when Egypt overthrew dictator Hosni Mubarak and picked Morsi as its first democratically-elected leader.

ADVANCE FOR MONDAY JAN. 28 AND THEREAFTER - FILE - In this Wednesday Sept. 18, 1996, file photo, Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo. reacts as Colt Manufacturing Vice President Doug Overbury shows his company's Smart Gun during a Capitol Hill news conference. The gun, a standard-looking .40-caliber, semi-automatic pistol can only be activated from a pea-size radio transmitter worn on the wrist of an authorized shooter. When the White House recently called for pushing ahead with such new technology as part of President Obama's plan to cut gun violence, the administration did not mention the concept's embattled past. As with so much else in the nation's long-running divisions over gun rights and regulation, what sounds like a futuristic vision is, in fact, an idea that has been kicked around for years, sidelined by intense suspicion, doubts about feasibility and pressure tactics.
