U.S. president signals he won't seek reinstatement of assault weapons ban

MEXICO CITY - Acknowledging a Mexican drug war that is "sowing chaos in our communities," President Barack Obama signaled Thursday he will not seek the reinstatement of a U.S. assault weapons ban but instead step up enforcement of existing laws against taking such weapons across the border.

Despite a campaign promise to see the lapsed ban renewed, Obama was bowing to the reality that to do so would be unpopular in politically key U.S. states and among Republicans as well as some conservative Democrats.

After watching the link I didn't seem to be able to catch that coming from him. It all seems "implied" from reporters. I'm just hoping the American people don't give up on pressing the issue to leave it alone. I believe he wants it to go away so he can re-instate it under the cover of darkness in some other way. And if he doesn't re-instate it,, I believe it's because he sees his re-election slipping away already.  Just my change  2 cents.

Never trust anyone in the upper levels of government as too many of them have hidden agendas.

I'm thinking the same thing

I know it's not right to not trust a person this much   but dammit I believe he has earned every bit of distrust coming his way.    As much as I would like to trust the  leader of this great Nation I just can not bring myself to do it.

So I guess if anybody agrees with me that's cool. If anybody is offended by me then that's cool too. His voice still wants to make me  .

I think they are simply trying to turn down the heat.....So they can attack in the ammo dept. and such, until they just catch us not looking and then instead of re-instating the ban they will invent a stronger one....
Think about it why re- instate something that did not stick
They will try to make a more permanent decision and we better be on our toes to see it coming. M2C

DO NOT TRUST OBAMA! 

That socialist will not rest till everything that goes bang is silenced for ever.      

By the way, Chet, MSNBC is a far left mouth piece for the socialist agenda and their poster child, Obama.  Ya noticed that they said "unpopular in politically key U.S. states" with NO mention that it is against the Second Amendment!!   MSNBC hates the Second Amendment and considers the Constitution to be "living" and "evolving".

Dang, that was just the kinda "change" I wanted from him. 

A dollar to the donut I bet he's got something up his sleeve.

The media keeps reiterating the "90%" lie about guns coming from the U.S.  That statistic has been exposed as a lie already yet the Obama socialist toadies continue to spout it.   

[coyotehunter_1]

No reinstatement of assault weapons ban?  Wishful thinking it appears, apparently the report was just another anti-gun smoke screen.
