Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
Attorney General Says White House Also Looking at Ban on 'Cop-Killer' Bullets

By JASON RYAN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2009

SHARE The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.

Wednesday Attorney General Eric Holder said that the Obama administration will seek to reinstitute the assault weapons ban which expired in 2004 during the Bush administration.

"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.

Holder said that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border.

"I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum." Holder said at a news conference on the arrest of more than 700 people in a drug enforcement crackdown on Mexican drug cartels operating in the U.S.

Mexican government officials have complained that the availability of sophisticated guns from the United States have emboldened drug traffickers to fight over access routes into the U.S.

A State Department travel warning issued Feb. 20, 2009, reflected government concerns about the violence.

"Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades," the warning said. "Large firefights have taken place in many towns and cities across Mexico, but most recently in northern Mexico, including Tijuana, Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juarez."

At the news conference today, Holder described his discussions with his Mexican counterpart about the recent spike in violence.

"I met yesterday with Attorney General Medina Mora of Mexico, and we discussed the unprecedented levels of violence his country is facing because of their enforcement efforts," he said.

Holder declined to offer any time frame for the reimplementation of the assault weapons ban, however.

"It's something, as I said, that the president talked about during the campaign," he said. "There are obviously a number of things that are -- that have been taking up a substantial amount of his time, and so, I'm not sure exactly what the sequencing will be."

In a brief interview with ABC News, Wayne LaPierre, president of the National Rifle Association, said, "I think there are a lot of Democrats on Capitol Hill cringing at Eric Holder's comments right now."

During his confirmation hearing, Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee about other gun control measures the Obama administration may consider.

"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.

The Assault Weapons Ban signed into law by President Clinton in 1994 banned 19 types of semi-automatic military-style guns and ammunition clips with more than 10 rounds.

"A semi-automatic is a quintessential self-defense firearm owned by American citizens in this country," LaPierre said. "I think it is clearly covered under Heller and it's clearly, I think, protected by the Constitution."

Ok I am really starting to think guns and ammo are going to make a lot more in the end than gold or silver. Time to lock and load the wallet up with some more cash. I'm going shopping again.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

We always deprive our citizens of their rights to help Mexico. Certainly they would do the same for us.

They can't make the point that banning the guns here would cut crime, because crime went way down after the ban expired.

So now we have to ban them to spare the poor Mexicans.

And NBC coincidentally was able to pull together a story on this the same day it's announced. Doesn't that take time? So they were given word in advance to help pimp the plan.

Damnit, I am broke and can't keep stocking up. I guess I need to sell a kidney to get me some more evil black rifles. Anyone in the market for a kidney? Will trade one for a Colt AR-15 and a AK pistol, 2 dozen PMags and a dozen AK mags and 3 K in .223 ammo. Oh yeah and some 7.62 steel core chinese ammo.

That's right, all the machine gun and grenades sales in the states need to be curtailed, as just anyone can buy machine guns and grenades in the states and smuggle them into Mexico.

I think I have plenty of ammo, i started buying it about 4 years ago, actually I ran out of room to store it LOL (prolly one of the best investments I've made value wise). There are however a couple of rifles I'd like to buy before the ban goes into effect, but even the mention of one will prolly make them worth more then i want to spend :(

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

I think they really need to investigate why the military is selling grenades to the mexicans.... oh thats right, its for drugs. Good on you CIA.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

if a group can get drugs in to mexico how hard would it be for china or russia are any other country to being them in , i would also say look at the cia if there grenades down there but any country could seNT them there as well , let just point the finger at the guys in the usa , what a load of SHIT

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

This is the excuse they have been looking for to ban private sales. Let's see, we cannot keep their drugs out of our country and they cannot keep our guns out of theirs. Get a clue and shutdown the f'ing border!

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

This will make perfect fodder for the mainstream media. Rather than focus on the economy they can talk about "Obama vs. the Gun Nuts"...pathetic.


I hope to hell the NRA and all gun owners are ready top fight this bullshit tooth and nail!

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Oh God, please let this not occur until I have fully researched and procured an AR-15 and lots of ammo - I need more time. (very late to gun ownership, but I bought 2 in the past 60 days).

I'm OK with an assault weapons ban.

Dear Barry Soetoro (BS), Eric Holder & Co.

In accordance with your "assault weapons ban," please instruct your security personnel to start the pile with your assault weapons first, and when I've confirmed that you have no more access to assault weapons, I will consider throwing down.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

What's a "cop killer" bullet? Is there any bullet that wouldn't kill a cop?

If gun bans in Mexico don't work there then why don't the Dem's ask Mexico to pass stricter laws instead of mucking around here? I know, I know - it's really not about Mexico is it?

BTW - If too many Mexicans are being killed in Mexico - can we send some back as replacements?:signs14:

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Let the son of a bitch ban sales of firearms, I guarantee you that they will still be available if you know where to look. And if the SHTF they can be looted from the brownshirts.

I know this is gonna sound strange, but out of all my firearms; my personal favorite is a .22 bolt action. This man can put a round through a squirrels head at 200 yards and would not be afraid to carry it into battle.

TA, I do believe you are correct; the Manchurian candidate is shitting his pants.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Forget the ar15's, they will be no help.
Too big, too loud for covert use, and not big & loud enough to hole up with. ar15's are guns for "making a stand".... like Ruby Ridge, like Branch Davidians.

For urban guerrilla warfare you step out of the crowd, shoot once quietly, and then step back into the crowd. You need pistols and carbines that are concealable and that can use a silencer.... 9mm, 45, .22LR.

------

Ruger 10/22 heavy-barrels and Mk-II/III gov't pistol are straight-profile barrels, easy to make slip-fit silencers for.

Hi-point carbine is cheap (<$200) and with ATI $79 stock has a straight barrel end exposed, slip-fit silencers would fit on that too.

,,,,,
What cheaper 9mm/45 cal pistols can you get extension barrels for? I don't know much about such matters....

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

AR-15s can be quite short 'legally' and even shorter if you buy a commando upper and switch it out.

I agree however on your scenario.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

That's a great way to get a whole crowd of people mowed down with..... well ar15's

Surely that would cause people to hate their protectors,driving more and more people to oppose the government.....

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Yup........ The French Resitence had a one shot pistol called "The Liberator".

The idea was it allowed you to get close enough to a German sentry for a head shot. With that you would then strip him of his rifle, gun and supplies.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

The Justice Department said that as part of the 21-month-long investigation, DEA and other federal agents had seized $59 million in U.S. currency; 12,535 kilograms of cocaine; more than 16,000 pounds of marijuana; more than 12 pounds of methamphetamine; approximately 8 kilograms of heroin; approximately 1.3 million pills or 500 pounds of Ecstasy; approximately 120 kilograms of MDMA powder; and more than $6.5 million in other assets, including 149 vehicles, 3 aircraft, 3 maritime vessels and 169 weapons.

At a press conference announcing the arrests, Holder also suggested that re-instituting a U.S. ban on the sale of assault weapons would help reduce the bloodshed in Mexico, where last year 6,000 people were killed in drug-related violence.

U.S. officials have a responsibility to make sure Mexican police "are not fighting substantial numbers of weapons, or fighting against AK-47s or other similar kinds of weapons that have been flowing to Mexico," Holder said.


21 month investigation.... millions and millions worth of money and dope, but only 169 guns and we need to ban guns. get the f**k outta here.... what a bunch of f**king dopes!

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Rationalizing gun control in the US by using violence in Mexico is such a stretch, it is bizarre.

There must be a bunch, of what MG refers to as "gun nuts," purchasing assault weapons, and smuggling them to Mexican drug cartels? And a blanket ban on such will stop this activity? And then the violence will be greatly reduced?

Well, that argument makes sense to me.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Doesn't seem like the plan was to "slip back into the crowd". The whole scenario all rests on the concept that your "enemy" wouldn't mow down a crowd of people to get one guy who shot at them, I find it hard to believe one feels he may need to shoot at our gov't, but that it would be unlikely they would be willing to accept the collateral damage of a crowd of people. Let's face it, even guerilla style it's going to damn hard to win a revolution with pistols, if everytime a group of americans assemble some guy hops out of the crowd and kills one guard, my guess is they are going to make sure there aren't any crowds forming.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

I suspect there may be a lot of truth in this. If things ever get bad enough for "Leaderless resistance", concealable pistols and accurate bolt rifles with good scopes will likely be more useful and effective that ARs and AKs. Rule one for the guerrilla is avoid pitched battles at all costs.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

I'd like to know where the Mexicans are getting all this sweet weaponry, because I sure as heck can't find any. Maybe the U.S. feds are selling it to them. Hell, they've given them just about anything else they've wanted (jobs, social security, welfare, citizenship, housing, etc. etc.).

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

The fedgov. IS selling it to Mexico....to their gov't.

And segments of their corrupt gov't are selling it to the gangs.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Well obviously the real solution to Mexican gang violence is to ban the U.S. federal government from possessing or selling those nasty, icky assault weapons. All in favor, say "Aye."

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Here's another article about how American gun owners and dealers are the cause of Mexico's problems:

U.S. Is Arms Bazaar for Mexican Cartels

Looks like the media storm is starting to really get going. I'd noticed over the past several months that there were more reports of crimes being committed with AK-47s than I'd ever seen before. We've seen the statistics that show that only about 1% of murders are committed with "assault weapons", so is that rate really going up, or is the media just focusing on evil black rifles?

The thing that bothers me most right now is that we may not even get a chance to have a debate on this, since Holder is on record as saying a lot of this could be implemented with executive orders. It's just been a few days since there was talk of an executive order banning the import of military surplus weapons and ammo, and if they can work American made "assault weapons" into an international issue with Mexico I'm sure they'll try to find a way to justify an executive order for this as well.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Perhaps some sort of physical barrier along the border would help....:wink:

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban

Or perhaps holding the report....propagandists personally responsible for their lie campaign. They are just as legit as TPTB.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

This will be interesting to see what New Hampshire and Montana do if this Ban passes. They've made it pretty clear they do not want their 2nd Amendment rights trampled on.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

I hope those two states start a movement to simply ignore the federal government....

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

You have a problem with high power weapons being smuggled into your country and you search "relatively few cars and trucks"?

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT FINDING THESE GOONS HOME ADDRESS? I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD CREATE LISTS OF THE RESPECTIVE "LOCALS" AND KEEP TABS ON THEM.

WE CAN REEK HAVOK IF NEED BE.:wink:

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

It's my understanding that there is noting to "pass" Since the law is already on the books it only takes an executive order to re-enforce the law.

The President could sign this anytime he sees fit.

At least the way I understand it from another thread on here somewhere.

edit: couldn't find it here, but a google search turned this up.
http://forum.pafoa.org/national-11/4...lt-rifles.html

"Engel added that returning to enforcement of the imported assault weapons ban is “a no-brainer that would require no legislative action.”"

Are we going to start cutting all the branches off trees if mexicans start sharpening them and impaling people?

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

BikerJon,

Executive Order or not, Montana and New Hampshire have resolutions that they haven't passed, but if Barry goes through with this, and signs an executive order it could strengthen the resolve of these 2 states setting in motion of states rights. Hopefully others will follow.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

It is more than the importation of weapons into the U.S. It is the banning of sales of certain weapons in the U.S. which of course will lead to banning of ownership of certain weapons by Americans. Any grandfather clause is just a little sugar to sweeten the deal for Fudds and the like.

King Knucklehead can make any kind of executive order he wants. Doesn't mean it will be obeyed.

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

And, while we're at it, just exactly what is an assault weapon? Aren't all firearms potentially weapons to be used for assault? Is it the large capacity magazine? You can slip a new one into any semi-automatic pretty damn quick. Or is it the hand grip on a rifle that makes it nasty? Just what is it that makes it an assault weapon?

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Speaking of trees, the Tree of Liberty is getting pretty damned thirsty.



Just sayin'....

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

According to the panty-wearing firearm-phobes, an assault weapon is anything that looks "scary" and "militaristic" and shoots "cop-killer rounds."

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

Here's a thought to warm some of your hearts . .. .. From:?? Ed Chenel, A?police officer?in?Australia Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the now available data?from?Down Under. It has now been one year (12 months) since gun owners in? Australia ?were forced? by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing? Australia??taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now available: Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent; Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent; Arm robberies?are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent); In the?state of? Victoria ?alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent as compared with the last one year period when private ownership of a firearm was legal. (NB: the law-abiding citizens did turn in their personal firearms, the criminal element did not and thus criminals in? Australia ?still possess their guns.) While data for?the?25 years preceding the confiscation of privately owned guns showed a steady decrease in armed robbery?with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months as?criminals now are assured?their victims will be unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns.' This story of well intentioned government intervention in the rights of lawful individuals to own and possess firearms won't be seen in the mainstream? US ?media or?on the American evening news.???? Senator Obama who advocates a similar confiscation in the? US ?will not be reporting any of this to you. But, the Australian experience speaks for itself.???? Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect?only the law-abiding citizens. Americans may want to take note before it's too late!

Re: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
 

I am not fond of Obama's political position but Obama is not the problem, Congress is.

I don't mean it quite that literally.

Many people are spending their money for ar15's, when it is exactly the wrong weapon for an oppressed citizenry to buy. A pistol is going to be way more useful than a rifle, and a gun with a caliber that can be effectively silenced is going to be way more useful than one that's very loud.

An AR15 is a military and police weapon. Many "regular people" think that this automatically makes it good to have for themselves, and that just isn't true.

It works for the military and police due to their advantages of greater numbers of combatants and practically unlimited equipment support. If you expect to be fighting the military and police, you will not have the advantages of greater numbers of combatants and basically unlimited equipment support.

Anybody who doesn't see severe trouble rolling down the pike is either blind or ignorant. We don't know exactly when the levee will break, but it will, and it won't be "8 years" from now.

Picked up 3 Rock River stripped lowers and a stack of 30-rd. magazines this morning ($145 for the lowers, $19 for the mags). Unfortunately I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home and forgot to lock my car -- they were gone when I returned. Drat.

Same thing happened with all my guns. Damned wal-mart parking lot!

I'm thinking about getting a slingshot -- I'll just cross my fingers and hope Obama won't mind.



(I promise I won't give any slingshots to mexicans, BTW)

"For urban guerrilla warfare you step out of the crowd, shoot once quietly, and then step back into the crowd."

What will happen is the 'authorities' will yell for everyone to hit the deck - and either the perp will be the only one standing/running or else everyone on the ground will be rounded up and searched.

"shall not be infringed" and signature line. having a firearm available has prevented two robbery assaults on my person in 58 years on earth. unlike the prez, i do not travel in an armored vehicle with a contingent of machine gun toting guards.

Truth.

Stockpile: Nagant m1895s, .308 to .223 plastic sabot cups, tungsten and .223 drill bits, machine pulled SS109 bullets/M855 AR-15 ammo, .32 bullets, a tap and die set, a drill press, steel pipe, steel wool, window screen, sheet metal, and washers.

You can make a KGB special that will leave CSI scratching their heads for $100 a pop.


Keep 6 spent .32/.223/whatever(subsonic?) cases with you from the range(same gun) in a plastic bag, minding that the velocity of a revolver won't make a rifle wound. Might be a good idea to start your brass collections now, before nobody is rich enough to leave the stuff on the ground.

Mexico blames the U.S. for arming the world's most powerful drug cartels, a complaint supported on Friday by a U.S. government report that found nearly all of Mexico's escalating drug killings involved weapons from north of the border.

President Felipe Calderon and his top prosecutor told The Associated Press on Thursday that Mexican police and soldiers are dangerously outgunned because U.S. authorities are failing to stop the smuggling of high-powered weapons into Mexico.

Calderon has complained for two years that the U.S. isn't carrying its weight in the cross-border drug war, despite the fact that American drug users fuel the problem.

"We need to stop the flow of guns and weapons towards Mexico," President Calderon told AP. "Let me express to you that we've seized in this two years more than 25,000 weapons and guns, and more than 90 percent of them came from United States, and I'm talking from missiles launchers to machine guns and grenades."

President Barack Obama's administration is beginning to respond.

On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder promised to enforce a long-ignored ban on importing assault weapons, many of which are re-sold illegally and smuggled into Mexico to resupply the cartels.

Calderon applauded Holder's announcement saying it was the first time in many years that the American government was starting to show more commitment.

When the U.S. enforced the assault weapons ban, only 21 percent of the weapons Mexico seized from traffickers were assault rifles, Eduardo Medina Mora, Mexico's Attorney General said.

Today, it is more than half, and law enforcement officials are paying with their lives - some 800 have been killed in the past two years.

Both Medina Mora and Calderon said the U.S. should aggressively enforce its gun laws and pressure sellers to keep weapons in the hands of law-abiding citizens.

I wanna know what part of 18 USC 922R supposedly isn't being enforced. Gun owners self regulate themselves on the issue.

Your posts are over-the-top useless drivel. All caps, thick/large font, all the time - always dramatically alarmist with no meaningful content.

20,000+ of them in a year and a half.

I've put up with far too many for far too long.

Welcome to my permanent ignore - one of two - GotGoldies being the other.
