Ready for a Gun ban?
 

Is this just a beginning?

"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 re-institute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder said. "I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."

They're not banning assault rifles or any other weapon for that matter. Praxeas, stop reading the national enquirer!

They're not? You might want to tell the new Attorney General that.........

"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.

As if banning assault weapons sales in the USA is going to affect their use in Mexico. Good grief! Just South of Mexico are dozens of countries with more assault weapons for Mexicans to buy that they would ever find in America.

I don't really fear Obama in this area unless he gets a second term. If he gets that and has nothing to lose you will see radical gun control pushed.

Do you own any of the assault type weapons or ammunition they're talking about?

THANK YOU, TSTEW!!!!!

Really, folks! What business does a peace loving Christian have owning a high capacity ASSAULT rifle!!! Who you gonna kill if I might ask? Your neighbor when he comes after your 7 year supply?

I just don't get how someone can feel comfortable owning one of those!

I was genuinely asking out of curiousity. I personally don't have a problem with the article I read. I'm curious as to how many of the average Americans this ban would affect both negatively and positively (as in who might be safer without assault weapons and ammunition being on the streets). I'm honestly wondering if anybody has a problem with this specifically or whether it is the "slippery slope" that they are afraid of...kind of a "greasy gun-control" effect. :)
