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.

Thanks for noting this is a year old story. That should have been noted by the poster of the article when it was posted.

He understands, he just doesn’t like it and wants to change it.

The article is a year old...we’ve been through all this. Remember the great gun buying panic of 2009?

He still might try for an new AWB, but at the moment he’s a little tied up with Obamacare...

Wow, that’s a dumb move.. but go ahead Obama and push us some more.. Its almost a guarantee that you will be voted out of office in 2012 AND we will get even more seats in the house and senate.

I am going to post this far and wide, I can assure you every gun owner in the nation will be talking about this within a week.

Stock up folks.

You got that right. Stocking up on all the surplus .308 about 10 years ago would have been a great investment.

From the article:

"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.

Glad to hear he's got the Mexicans' best interests in mind.

Weird how 2010 is shaping up to be like 1994. Unpopular Healthcare bill. Unpopular Assault weapons ban. Scandal involving the chairman of Ways & Means (Dan Rostenkowski and the House Post Office Scandal then, Charlie Rangel and his problems now).

Wow. The Obamunists are going for it all. I hope they continue to pursue ObamaCare, and go for this unconstitutional “weapons ban.” First, this November would be an ELECTORAL (that is a political, NON-VIOLENT, speaking FIGURATIVELY) “bloodbath.” Secondly, if it did pass, those who observe the Constitution as the supreme law of the land are justified in IGNORING this “law.” The law is not what the politician says it is, it’s what the CONSTITUTION says it is. So, can anyone say “black market?”See More

He is an enemy of the nation and should be treated as such.

One difference between ‘94 and now,,, Now we have widespread mass communications via internet. ‘94 net doesn’t compare at all.

Just wait till they feel the rage this year. The Ba$tards.

Why bring up a year old story now? They have clearly done nothing about it, and I don’t see them starting at this point.

So can we delete this thread if it is a year old? (and it looks to be)

I forwarded this off to many people and can only assume others will too.

>>It looks like the Dims are realizing that they are not going to be reelected, so they are going to cause as much damage as possible.<<

Wasn’t this exactly Hitler’s idea just before he committed suicide?
