Buzz today


The assault weapons ban is trying to make a comeback. They don't offer any details right now or a timeframe, but I think we all saw this coming with a democratic Congress and President.

We can only hope on the Supreme Court (laughable), although I praise the Heller decision, and the more centrist Dems I suppose.

I also read this was suppose to help the violence in Mexico ....? Really, we need to stretch it that much to justify it...?

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.

“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…


Just a few ... wow

Too bad Pelosi doesn't see things the same way ... apparently she was left out of the loop.

Attorney General Eric Holder raised the prospect Wednesday that the administration would push to bring back the ban. But Pelosi (D-Calif.) indicated on Thursday that he never talked to her. The Speaker gave a flat “no” when asked if she had talked to administration officials about the ban.

“On that score, I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference. “I think it’s clear the Bush administration didn’t do that.”
