Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
Attorney General Eric Holder said today that the Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
Holder said that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border.
This is a known lie because the weapons used in Mexico are fully-auto and not the same guns the president would be banning.
Mexican government officials have complained that the availability of sophisticated guns from the United States have emboldened drug traffickers to fight over access routes into the U.S.
A State Department travel warning issued Feb. 20, 2009, reflected government concerns about the violence.
“Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades,” the warning said. “Large firefights have taken place in many towns and cities across Mexico, but most recently in northern Mexico, including Tijuana, Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juarez.”
Someone explain how fully auto weapons and grenade’s should require a ban on semi auto guns in the US. the 2 are not related in anyway those guns did not come from the US its just another excuse.
During his confirmation hearing, Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee about other gun control measures the Obama administration may consider.
“I think closing the gun show loophole, the banning of cop-killer bullets and I also think that making the assault weapons ban permanent, would be something that would be permitted under Heller,” Holder said
No word from him on what this non existence cop-killer bullet is. In the past we have found that its really a dear riffle bullet they want to ban.
So much for the claims that Obama will not ban guns. Based on prior Obama bills we will have no hearings and it will be added to some bill that we can not live without.

Let’s see… Murder rate is down, crime rate is down and it seems to be concurrent with carry laws. So, being dumb as rocks, liberals want to crack down on the very thing that lowered the murder and crime rate. Don’t these liberal fools see anything past their own noses? Are they truly this stupid? They appear to be too stupid to remember to breath. Don’t look to me to remind them. The only good liberal is a dea… well you know.
If you are too afraid to own a gun, don’t buy one. But stop trying to take away my right to own one. Someone is going to have to protect your cowardly behind when it hits the fan. And you can bet your bippy it is going to hit the fan.
