Here it comes! Despite his campaign promises: “I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people’s lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away. … There are some common-sense gun safety laws that I believe in. But I am not going to take your guns away. .”, it comes as no surprise that President Obama is now asking congress to renew the 1994 Federal “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazine ban. Now, just a few months later he has done an about-face and says he does want to take your guns away. Oh, but its necessary, he says, to save Mexico from the Drug War. If reenacted, unlike its predecessor, the new ban will likely have no sunset clause. Knowing the history of Federal of bans and freezes, the ban will cause the price of many semiautomatic guns to double, and and the price of 11+ round magazines to triple or quadruple. Now is the time to start writing your congresscritters. This unconstitutional legislation must be stopped!
