Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
Eric Holder (Obama's Attorney General): Make Assault Weapons Ban Permanent
Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
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.
Holder said that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border.
"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.
Wild Thing's comment........
Hussein is placing the United States on greased skids to oblivion. Obama and the left are killing everything our Founding Fathers stood for. In a sane world, they all would have been jailed for treason.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

The dems have been waiting 8 years to start confiscating guns and to Bushes credid he didn't let that happen. Now there are no obsticles in their way. With this bunch now, the sky is the limit. That Million dollar Liability insurance scam will not be far behind.
The assault weapons ban was a cosmetic thing and did nothing to stop crime or make anyone safer. Neither will any gun restriction pushed through by the democrats or their Rino buddies. What it will do is make the criminal more bold because he will know obama is on his side.
So in 6 weeks the 1st amendment, the 2 amendment, and private property and emminent domain have come under assault by this administration. They are systematically dismantling the Bill of Rights.

I've been on this for days and then I saw these two articles I was extremely confused.

These are bits of good news for now. I also learned that reid opposed the ban in 1994 and 2004 so there's still hope yet.

We all knew it was coming the moment he got elected. Folks, this is just the beginning.

Jefferson was right--A government big enough to give you everything can take it away just as easily. This administration seems more and more like the worlds in Brave New World or 1984. I just don't see a happy ending for us if we allow Obama to become dictator/overlord for life. I don't know why people wanted this so badly. If they take away one right, then they can take them all and leave us with nothing. He's all about control of the situation, the old school management style of keeping employees under his thumb. Work well and you shall live another day, work badly and you die. Everyone is expandable except himself and his cabinet. We can be replaced with those newfangled designer babies, who can be taught to Heil Obama while still in the womb.
God help and bless America, we need it more than ever right now.

When Mexico collapses we'll need all the firepower we can get to secure the border...the Feds seem reluctant to do it...so maybe the folks in Texas and all along the border will NEED assault weapons to protect themselves. The term B.O.H.I.C.A (bend over, here it comes again)keeps running through my mind.

Ah yes. The weapons ban has worked so well in Chicago, Obama's home town. More Americans killed there in 2008 than in Iraq.
The assault on private ownership of weapons is starting. "Only a few reasonable restrictions" is doublespeak for "we want them all taken away'. As Mark states, the Democrats have total control so there are few obstacles in their way, other than our anger.
JohnE, those are interesting links. Reid remembers what happened to Democrats when the previous assault rifle ban was passed. The Dems took a beating at the polls. Maybe, just maybe they will not be united enough to try it again.
Now is the time we actually need firearms. With a power mad socialist government, this is exactly what the Second Amendment was designed for. On top of that add in Chicago style street gangs, anarchy spreading across the Mexican border and rising crime due to unemployment. All these reasons add up to a realistic need for private ownership of firearms.
Eric Holder is a smoothtalking commie. Lots of sheeple will listen to him and believe. Well, the sheeple in England and Australia listened to their smooth talkers also. Now, many of those people regret giving up their guns, but it is too late.
Buy Ammo!!!

Mark, your right, good breakdown of what they have been doing too.
"in 6 weeks the 1st amendment, the 2 amendment, and private property and emminent domain have come under assault by this administration. They are systematically dismantling the Bill of Rights."

JohnE PFC U.S. Army, that is so weird, gosh thank you so much. It does look like some of the dems like the articles say are not all for this ban. I was hoping for that to happen.
I have met dems that would be very upset about gun control or any kind of taking guns away or insurance or any of that stuff. Many are hunters but also many just want them for protection and target shooting.
Thank you so much JohnE.

BobF., it sure is, each day when I get up I wonder ok what now. That is NOT a good feeling.
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 3, 2009 05:26 PM
Lynn, well said! I can feel that very much from both of them.
"Everyone is expandable except himself and his cabinet. We can be replaced"

PeteSuj,thank you for telling me what that stood for. I always wondered. haha I know most people probably know, but I have seen it before and had no idea.
I agree, your right about Mexico and even other things we have no idea what is in the future that we need a lot of protection from.
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 3, 2009 05:37 PM
Tom, I agree so much.
"Now is the time we actually need firearms. With a power mad socialist government, this is exactly what the Second Amendment was designed for. On top of that add in Chicago style street gangs, anarchy spreading across the Mexican border and rising crime due to unemployment. All these reasons add up to a realistic need for private ownership of firearms."
