Obama: Assault weapons ban made sense
17 hours ago
MEXICO CITY (AP) - President Barack Obama says he prefers to focus on enforcing existing laws to keep assault weapons out of Mexico, rather than trying to renew a U.S. ban on the weapons.
Obama says he still believes such a ban made sense. The most recent one expired in 1994.
But he says he'd rather enforce laws on the books that make it illegal to send assault weapons across the Mexican border.
Guns flowing into Mexico from the U.S. have been fingered in a rise in killings by Mexican drug cartels.
As a presidential candidate, Obama promised to push to reinstate the ban. He now says doing so would be politically difficult.
Obama commented in Mexico City at a news conference with President Felipe Calderon after their meeting.
I don't know about ya'll, but I'm TOTALLY thrilled about this Campaign Promise Flip-Flop!!

Now, if only we could get congress to legalize full-auto and other restricted NFA items....

MEXICO DOES HAVE A GUN PROBLEM - THEY NEED MORE GUNS.
Mexico has no 2nd Amendment, legal gun ownership is banned. Citizens cannot protect themselves.

He won't try anything just yet. Remember what turned over Congress in '94? Yup, you got it. That pesky little AWB. He wants a second term really bad- but Congress wants to hold onto their power too. With 2010 looming, it's a high possibility that a voter's backlash to all this spending and future high tax rates, and looming gun bills will doom any chances of those D?D_D?D?уD?D,?_?, D?D?D?D??_D??,?+D,D? (Communist aparatchiks) getting re-elected by those Union thugs at local #666[}:)] who are clinging to their pipe wrenches, their slobbered on copy of Das Kapital, and their blood stained red banners. Which is why Obongo & primates has recently received some fairly strong letters from certain Senators and Congressmen PLEADING with him to hold off on any AWB, AND refusing to support any such legislation- Max Baucus (D) Montana, et. al. Well, that seems like a breather for the time being, unless someone actually listens to that left of Communists idiot Shiela Jackson-Lee- coupled with this growing populace of dependent sheeple. If they decide to become permanent government serfs, what will happen to them when we the producers decide to get in line with our hand out? Yes, that's right... starvation and depravity reminiscent of the Stalin era. But hey, I got my free health care!!! Yipppeeeeeee! Down with the Capitalists! Discard the free market! We WANT to be slaves!
BTW- Harry (The Red) Reid can kiss my grits. In 2010, he's done. He will go by the wayside the same way that Tom Daschel did. Stupid turd. Go lay in the yard. At least in six months you'd dry up and decay instead of stinking up the capital with your sticky/gooey fecal matter that you are. Sheesh!
I listen and read too much. The depressing fact is that the sheep of this country are embracing the collectivist, spirit killing agenda of the Marxist who call themselves Democrats. We have a president who is yukking it up with the worst human rights abusers in the hemisphere, all depressing and dispirting unless you are willing to stand up and be counted...
They are still trying to spin this even though it has already been shown that a majority of the weapons found there (over 80% I believe) came from other countries than the US. Yep, we are the cause of the rise in killings. There are no other reasons.
