Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
ABC News ^ | 02-25-2009 | Jason Ryan

Posted on 02/25/2009 8:20:19 PM PST by model B

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.

Most of the killings in and around Holder’s DC are done by handguns, mainly 9MM and the like. Very few Magnums, Barettas, etc.

Holder doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground unless this is all a show and he knows exactly what he wants to do, ban all bullets except 22s.

He would have been a great AG for Hitler or Stalin.

It’s a slam-dunk pass this time. The only questions are at the margins, such as grandfathering, registering, etc.

And no sunset, for sure.

No, he's talking about armor-piercing bullets that are typically teflon coated.

A little history: the anti-2nd Amendment tyrants drafted legislation in the 80’s to outlaw this type of ammo. But the way it was worded, it would have outlawed all ammo, practically. The NRA fought it. The anti-2nd Amendment tyrants and their fifth column in the MSM accused them of defending “cop killer bullets.”

The NRA re-drafted the legislation to outlaw specifically “cop killer bullets” and THEY ARE ILLEGAL TODAY.

That Obammie the Commie mentioned this is just further proof of what a stupid, uninformed puppet he is.

Obama is planning to strip down the military, but there are other threads for discussing that...

Gee, what a shock. I don't think anyone saw this coming.

I intend to clip this story - see, I've kept a little stash of the clowns who have been pounding the "Fear, paranoia, and hysteria are driving gun sales" mantra for the last couple of months, and I intend to mail this little turd to them and ask them what it feels like to be two-faced, lying jerks. I should imagine the answer will be the usual flurry of self-righteous chest-pounding that serves do cover the fact that they really are two-faced, lying jerks and that they know it.

Make no mistake about it - there was nothing sincere in any of that crap. The people printing it knew perfectly well that they were doing their part to set their class enemies up. They won't feel bad at being shown to be liars and manipulators, they'll revel in it. Remember who they were.

Surprisingly, they aren’t that hard to find. There are lots of them on gunbroker.com. $$$ but plenty of them. I think they are more of a gun collector item than for actual use.

It is not teflon-coated bullets. They are already impossible to buy.

It is any bullet which will pass through a ballistic vest. This includes all or virtually all center-fire rifle cartridges.

Usually the gun grabbers mean any bullet that can penetrate the soft body armor Police usually wear.

That’s stupid, armour piercing is all over the internet. I would have no use for it but someone must buy it because I see it when they get it in, and it’s gone within a few hours. Maybe LE buys it, who knows.

In the Democratic People’s Republic of NJ yesterday, some 14 year old kid shot 5 people.

There should be a law that says that you have to be 18 to own a firearm. (hold on a second, someone is whispering in my ear....uh, huh, there is, ok, got it)

Apparently, there already is such a law.

Maybe we need more laws that criminals by definition will not follow.

Based on what you said, is it possible for millions of legal law abiding good american tax pay citizens to side with the enemy for resources as well as other purposes?

Don’t be on it Holder. Most real American’s aren’t cowards. Only people like you and sissy boy obambi.

>>>>I predict this will Hussein’s first legislative defeat.

But who among the fools we sent to DC last November will vote against it?

CCW is next.

This SOB is not trying to reach an accommodation with anyone. He is speeding up his Assault on America!

Nope. They have plenty of RINOs who will support an AWB. It’s a slam dunk to pass, and with no sunset.
