23 State Attorneys General To Attorney General Holder: "No Semi-Auto Ban"

Friday, June 12, 2009


On June 11, the top law enforcement officials of nearly half the states signed a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, expressing their opposition to reinstatement of the federal ban on semi-automatic firearms.

"We share the Obama Administration's commitment to reducing illegal drugs and violent crime within the United States. We also share your deep concern about drug cartel violence in Mexico. However, we do not believe that restricting law-abiding Americans' access to certain semi-automatic firearms will resolve any of these problems," the letter said.

The letter notes congressional opposition to bringing back the ban, and calls for increasing enforcement of existing laws.

We encourage NRA members to let these state officials know we appreciate them standing up to the incessant clamor for gun control that is currently coming from anti-gun groups and their media allies.

The 23 state Attorneys General, in alphabetical order, by state, are:

Arkansas � The Honorable Dustin McDaniel
Alabama - The Honorable Troy King
Colorado - The Honorable John W. Suthers
Florida - The Honorable Bill McCollum
Georgia - The Honorable Thurbert E. Baker

Louisiana - The Honorable James D. Caldwell
Michigan - The Honorable Mike Cox

I notice Attorney General Greg Zoeller of Indiana isn't on the list.

Pretty surprising considering how pro 2nd amendment Indiana has always been.

I'll have to drop him a note expressing my disappointment in his lack of participation in this effort.

Our AG is a wuss, He is most likely afraid he wouldn't get reelected to be a dog catcher if he put his name on the list.

BTW at the moment our AG is Jerry (Moonbeam) Brown. The one time Governor of California.

BTW we have an original Jurisdiction AG and Governor we can add those two for sure.
