And yet for all the hysteria, the Obama White House has shied away from taking the initiative in gun-control legislation, including worthy efforts to renew the 1994 assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. [More]I guess nobody at the Canadian-owned Crackron Leakin' Urinal watched the second debate:
Responding to a question from an audience member about reinstating the federal (so-called) “assault weapon“ ban, President Obama acknowledged his desire to resurrect the ban, falsely equating firearms with cosmetic similarities to military firearms as “weapons designed for soldiers [that] don’t belong on our streets,” repeating the standard anti-gunner ploy of conflating automatic weapons with the semi-automatic variants that was originated to confuse the public by the Violence Policy Center. Obama also let slip another target of interest that has long been a goal of gun-banners with his reference to “cheap handguns.”They've been guilty of that conflation themselves, and unapologetic about it.
They save all their apologia for the administration on Fast and Furious.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
