Backpedaling on the New 'Assault Weapons' Ban

Well, that didn't take long.

It seems Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement that the Obama administration would seek a new ban on semiautomatic firearms was premature, and the damage control teams have arrived to put the torn facades back up. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column explores the likelihood that Holder simply revealed the cards too soon.

There's some background stuff that could develop from this post. I won't tell you about it now, because unlike Holder, I want to keep my cards close. If what I suspect will result from this happens, I'll let you know what I'm hinting at then.

In the mean time, please read the column and share it with your friends.

Watch for "emergency measures", and amendments passed in the dark of night, and/or without a recorded vote...such as the Hughes amendment.

Say your prayers. Go to the range. Perform PMCS. Do PT regularly. Keep your basic load at hand. Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.
