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.

“Let’s just say, that the new permanent AWB mandates registration of existing guns on the list.”

That, alone, can be the shot heard ‘round the world.

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

Yep. Obama is the best gun salesman ever.

Anybody who’s stupid enough to use the phrase “cop-killer bullets” should be forced to resign from a law enforcement position. It shows a clear lack of understanding of both firearms and law enforcement. A .22 short is a cop killer if you shoot them in the forehead.

Any attempt to register existing firearms should be immediately understood to be a declaration of war.

The steps following this are inevitable.

Confiscation and subjugation.

“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”

-Alexander Hope, from the novel “Hope” by L. Neil Smith and Aaron Zelman

“Cop Killer” bullets is a media-created hysterical term to describe the now-illegal, and already banned, armor-piercing hand gun ammo, which is nevertheless EXACTLY the type which SHOULD be available to a militia!

I have no intention of complying with a law that would lead to nothing but my being disarmed especially with these rabid lunatic Communists in power.

Try reading Domestic Enemies without watching even the most outrageous scenes take place in the newspapers! Read that one during the day otherwise you might not sleep at night.

And don’t forget, the ultimate “ban” (because it would never be called that), is an excessive/prohibitive tax on all ammo. Think about a nickel a bullet as some in CA considered a few years ago.

What can’t I read? Your comment blaming conservatives? I read it just fine.

So you’re a retread instead of a newbie... big whoop.

It amazes me that the irresponsible home owner seems to have the Constitutional right to keep and bear his home, but damned if the law abiding citizen has the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

No, any bullet that has, or may, kill a law enforcement officer.
