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.

Yeah, like a majority of the most popular hunting rifle rounds.
Well that could include pretty much anything that comes flying out of the downrange end of a firearm save for a Nerf slug, or a 9mm marshmallow.
That would be a rapid prelude to CW2.
I hope those idiots realize that.
I also forgot to mention that the AWB will require people with “Prebans” to register their guns as Machine Guns, and that the tax stamp will go up to $10,000 per weapon...
“And this is coming from the AG who just called us all cowards.”
I like to think we’re just harmless unless provoked and feel like my government is calling me out.
“Cop killer bullets? Is he talking about hollowpoints?”
Anything that can penetrate a police vest. See how easy that is?
A 20mm Lahti Anti-tank gun will take that $#!t eating grin off their faces.
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.” —Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 10 October 1787
I am assuming that is Greek in the parentheses? I know the saying, but not the actual greek words. Thanks. Learn something new everyday.
Well, sure. By extension. Any bullet can kill a cop. But they are specifically referring to bullets that can easily penetrate a cops vest. This would include any full metal jacket round designed to kill big game with a rifle. You don't think a .300 Winchester Magnum with a 180gr FMJ round wouldn't slice thru a vest like a hot knife thru butter? So they get two kills with one bill. No more "Assault Weapons" AND no more hunting sniper rifles!
and pointy sticks. he will ban pointy sticks, homemade bullets and a bunch more.
You know, I have a couple of friends - and I use that term loosely - that are gun guys and yet voted Obama. I kept telling them he was going to do this and more. They would say “nah, he has way too much on his plate to care about gun stuff, plus he says he supports the 2nd amendment”. Well, I can’t wait to hear what they say after I forward this link to them.
The prior AWB was one of the most idiotic pieces of legislation to have ever passed, it essentially legislated a way a gun looked. The next one they have on deck is much more dangerous and gives the AG power to determine what’s on the banned list, and knowing this anti he’ll ban everything semi-automatic.
Nothing like going into a biker/roughneck bar in Texas, calling them all cowards, and then demanding they hand over their weapons pronto “or else.”
Real smart, Eric. Real smart.
There, fixed it. Could add to that they wouldn't bring any with them when they cross our borders in search of prey to victimize.
Note also his use of the term PERMANENT assault weapon ban.
No sunset this time, ever.
Another day, another issue, another special interest group to please.
The Obama reelection campaign is under way.
We’re going to have to get people to stop acting like yuppies and more like rednecks.
Let’s just say, that the new permanent AWB mandates registration of existing guns on the list.
Then what? What if they use data-mining to find “scofflaws” and make examples of them?
Where are we a year after that? Disarmed bleating sheeple, or in the middle of CW@?
This will pass. It only takes a simple majority in the house and there are enough RINO’s in the senate. The AWB will be much more encompassing than the 1st generation AWB.
