Obama, joined by Mexican President Felipe Calderon at a press conference in Mexico City, said he and Calderon discussed the ban "extensively" during their meeting earlier in the day.
Mexican officials have said in recent days that they would like to see the ban reinstated, noting that more than 90 percent of guns recovered in Mexico come from the U.S.
The White House was quick to blunt comments Attorney General Eric Holder made earlier this year supportive of pursuing a reinstatement, but Obama said Thursday that he has not changed his position.
"I have not backed off at all from my belief that the assault weapons ban makes sense," Obama said, adding that he is not "under any illusions that reinstating that ban would be easy.

He’s just prioritizing his takeover.
LIES REPEATEDLY ENDLESSLY BECOME THE TRUTH IN TIME.
The real figure is 17%, but Obama is happy to let the lie stand unchallenged.
Actions have Consequences .... God help us they really are pushing for a CW.
Look into the Abyss, Mein Fuhrer. You had best back away.
Yes, and we're under no illusions that's the only reason you haven't done it. We remember what you said during the campaign about a total weapons ban.....there weren't enough votes if you wanted to implement it. Whenever he says "I won't do this," he means: "I don't have the ability.....at this time."
BTW, I noticed in his meeting with Calderone, the Mexican president was significantly shorter than Obama. Oddly enough, however, there was no "height difference" bow.
These clowns have redefined everything this side of a peashooter as an “assault weapon”, for the purpose of imposing as much gun control as possible.
If it cannot be fired in automatic mode, it is NOT an assault weapon! (Yes, 3 round bursts count)
Translation: I want to take ALL the guns off the market and out of the publics hand, but the truth is, I know I’ll never get it past congress right now. Maybe I’ll be able to slide it thru during the next crisis.
These are just the warm up steps to a bigger dance. The music is already playing though...
“I have not backed off at all from my belief that the assault weapons ban makes sense,” Obama said, adding that he is not “under any illusions that reinstating that ban would be easy.
NONSENSE! to the first part, and finally a realization that there is a Constitution, no matter how much it gauls you in the second part.

Thanks!

So many Socialist goals, So little time.
Zero will say anything required to Mexico’s Pres or anyone else in order to advance his scam. Assault weapons ban? Sure Pedro or whatever your name is. Now, what I really want to know is why do they put a worm in Mezcal?
Thanks President 0 for re-affirming the reason for my recent “investment”.
keep talking, because the value is getting higher and higher.
In 2007-2008, according to ATF Special Agent William Newell, Mexico submitted 11,000 guns to the ATF for tracing. Close to 6,000 were successfully traced -- and of those, 90 percent -- 5,114 to be exact, according to testimony in Congress by William Hoover -- were found to have come from the U.S. But in those same two years, according to the Mexican government, 29,000 guns were recovered at crime scenes. In other words, 68 percent of the guns that were recovered were never submitted for tracing. And when you weed out the roughly 6,000 guns that could not be traced from the remaining 32 percent, it means 83 percent of the guns found at crime scenes in Mexico could not be traced to the U.S.
That doesn't really matter to a man who considers that document a "charter of negative liberty."
