After only a month in office, and with the economy sliding further into chaos, Obama's AG Eric Holder has just announced he intends to push for re-instating the 'Assault Weapons' ban, along with a ban on 'Cop killer' bullets and closing of the 'gun show loophole'. Of course, Obama said repeatedly that gun owners had nothing to fear from him, that he supported gun rights. I knew he was lying of course, and now he has made it clear that he was. The justification of this ban is to stop the violent Mexican drug cartels, who are armed with machine guns and grenades (as per the ABC news story). Of course, these have been banned for decades, so that is simply another lie. As far as 'cop killer' bullets, they never were sold to the public, they were law enforcement use only. In fact they were manufactured by a company founded by retired police. Holder expanded the media-hype term to include any bullet that can penetratebody armor, which means almost ALL rifle ammo. Just like the 'gun show loophole', which is not a loophole and has no connection to gun shows (it simply means private citizens who are not gun dealers can sell one or two guns per month to other citizens without federal dealer license or 4473 paperwork), Holder (and we must presume his puppet master) is a liar. Personally, I am shocked that Obama lied to get elected. Really, shocked.
