Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
ABC News ^ | 02-25-2009 | Jason Ryan

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.

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, referring to the Supreme Court ruling in Washington, D.C. v. Heller, which asserted the Second Amendment as an individual's right to own a weapon.

Zero and Holder actually believe USA is the primary source for every Mexican criminals arms purchase?

They don't believe any of the crap they spew. It's demagoguery plain and simple. This is about disarming American citizens.

Sorry, I wanted Thompson. I did not vote for McCain in the primary, and I knew McCain was very flawed. McCain was my second to last choice in front of the surrender monkey Ron Paul. Once McCain was the candidate and Obama was the Democratic opponent, I voted to stop Obama because of the agenda he believed in, like this, plus I knew I liked and do like Palin.

If you fall into one of the three categories I stated, an Obama voter, a third party voter that wasted their vote or a stay at home all or nothing conservative that did not vote, this is your train wreck then. I voted to stop Obama, sounds like you did not.

Step to the front of the line then, Obama has plans for you. And no complaining either, if you chose not oppose him.

I’m off next weekend, so I plan on heading up to the National Gun Day (one of the largest gun shows in the country) to pick up some new toys.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

It's not our fault.

I predict another 50% spike in gun sales, as a result of the administration even bringing this up.

Usually the gun grabbers mean any bullet that can penetrate the soft body armor Police usually wear.

Statement corrected.

Toss this in... I expect the alphabet land agencies to administratively ban lead bullets and shot in the next couple years, and the epa to follow with a de facto ban on lead smelting and casting through unobtainable - outside a few industrial labs - emission standards.

And you have to wonder what's going to be going through the governors and state legislators' minds tonight as they get this news.

CW is coming. And this was the bell toll.

There was never any doubt that the Left intended the ultimate disarmament of Americans as a prelude to complete control of the American people under a Marxist tyranny. Holder is just the latest in a long line of phonies out to conceal his true agenda. Obama, of course, lied his *ss off when he said he had no intention of infringing the Second Amendment. Little by little, the current utterly corrupt administration intends to make over the United States into a Leftist Super State run by diktat from the Democrats.

“Cop killer bullets?” That is an emotional, political name that has absolutely no technical definition or meaning.

I call it the "Soros Stigmata", that special sign that you were willing to sell out your own family to the Nazis for pocket change, or maybe just a simple "Guten Juden" uttered by the uniforms as they dragged the neighbor you betrayed off to a death camp.

“Either that or the old teflon-coated ones” No, the 1986 definition of Armour Piercing Bullets relates to the core, not the jacket or any particular jacket coating.

"i guess he thinks black talons are still widely available? this guy truly is an idiot."

You best be careful of how you identify others. Black Talon bullets are still available, with a different name, without the black coating, and restricted to Law Enforcement sales. Who is the idiot?
