Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
The Ban Expired in 2004 During the Bush Administration.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2009

The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.

"As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.

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.

"I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum." Holder said at a news conference on the arrest of more than 700 people in a drug enforcement crackdown on Mexican drug cartels operating in the U.S.

So, let me get this straight. We are going to ban "assault weapons" to keep Mexico safe???? Thanks, Obama. Remember, this is the guy that said "we aren't going after your guns". As my father likes to say, "Lying sack of s**t".

No, not a state, just part of a 'murky union'.
We're getting a pretty good deal on illegal immigrants and we don't want to mess that up!

My understanding is that the “blue dog” democrats will not let it come to the floor, in either the house or the senate.
Maybe Rahm Emanuel got more than he bargained for, when he recruited the “conservative democrats” to run and defeat limp wrested RINO’s

But aren't the blue dog democrats supposed to be fiscally conservative....yet every porkulous bill is passing without a fight....forgive me if I'm not convinced, but I think the one and his minions have a plan, and that plan does not include an armed populous IMO.

Just my .02

This should come as no surprise.
They been cooking all this for a long time.

The damage these pricks will wreak on America during their tenure
is unprecidented.

It will be legal, too.

If anyone knows a place in Fayetteville with stripped AR lowers please PM me. I told the wife when O got voted in the popularity contest that I would hold off building until he made his first comment on the AWB. Man, that was a long wait...

My wife and I made this file shortly after November 4th, and it's strange to see all our predictions coming true.

Nancy says to enforce the laws we have on the books

Gee, where have I heard that before.

When Nancy says No - it just means not right now.

At first I was surprised by her answer being she is a dumb as a box of rocks and from California, but after giving it a little thought it looks to me like no one talked to useless Nancy P about the ban so she's throwing a little tantrum and saying no soup for you to the one, unfortunately I predict he'll talk nice nice to her and smooth her ruffled feathers and that POS will jump on board. I really hope I’m wrong on this one, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

I concur. She will be on board in a few months (if not weeks) with their agenda.

...not until the POTUS gets his second term.
Thats when I expect all the REALLY bizarre shot to happen. The POTUS will use most of his first term as a free campaign for his second term...
...and then the real party will start.
What are ya gonna do then? Vote him out?
Whats going on now is nothing comapared to what is coming in 2013.

Vote early, vote often.
