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.

Absolutely AND every hunting rifle caliber. What you can count on is the regulations proposed by Holder, et al. are both ignorant and dishonest. Holder does not give a fig for Mexican stability. He wants to take guns from law abiding citizens and make the population easier to push around.

First bill hits the floor of the house, it will hit the fan.

What can they not understand?

“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Is that not clear?

Gee, and just a few months ago, he said that we didn’t have to worry and to stop buying up guns. What a lying SOB he is.

Like I’m surprised.

yeah a little bell went off in my head when I read “cop killer”. I thought, this clown doesn’t have a clue about what he’s talking about.

I doubt he's read these. He might want to, in order to understand that hornet's nest a little better.

Cop killer bullets? Is he talking about hollowpoints?

He's talking about bullets in general. That's one of their ultimate objectives.

"Cop killer bullets," and "Gun show loophole" and "assault weapon" are deliberated in their vagueness.

For one thing, they know that libtard reporters will never question their loose definitions. They sound great. And by banning them, they can selectively ban every rifle bullet, semi-auto firearm and private sale not approved by the government.

Holder, You left Chicago......and victims start decreasing as you drive South from Chicago....There's a BIG victim drop in Kentucky, that continues down thru I-55 south into Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana...etc...in proportion to the distance to the unconstitutional Chicago gun laws.

You're not in Kansas anymore....you’re nationwide now.

Sure he does. He’s no dummy. Don’t get hung up on actual technical definitions. His definitions are deliberately vague. This way he can ban any rifle bullet he wants to-—or at least put them under severe controls, as in photo ID to purshase with govt records kept etc.

I think the weasels are beginning to realize that they have to grab the guns before the pot boils over.

Obama will seek these 4 elements in a gun bill

1. An expanded HR 45, gun owner licensing. All gun owners will have to have these licenses, even owners of facilimie weapons (AKA Airsoft and BB). Licenses will only be granted if the records of the applicant are clean (This includes misdemeanors from decades ago). Licensees will be required to hold $1 million in liability insurance. Possession of otherwise permitted weapons (See #3) without license is a felony.

2. Ammunition accountability... All ammo will be required to be microstamped and will be taxed $1/round. All non stamped ammo will be required to be turned in or thrown away. Possession of non-marked ammo is a felony. This part of the act also bans “Cop Killer” bullets.

3. Expanded “Assault Weapons” ban— This includes most all semiauto rifles, anything that can be “Bump Fired”, Semiauto handguns, and Semi-auto shotguns. It also includes pump-action shotguns and “Sniper Rifles” AKA your deer rifle.

4. Expansion of the Lautenbach amendment: Removes “Domestic Violence” as disqualifier to gun ownership, inserts any misdemeanor as disqualifer... Anyone with a misdemeanor on their record will be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes DUI and traffic offenses, and offenses decades ago.

There you have it in a nutshell...
