To all the Obama apologists who didn't see his true colors and said there would be no new AWB: TOLD YOU SO! The man is a liar when he said in Pennsylvania that he would not take our rifles. Semi-autos are perfectly viable for many legal activities.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6960824&page=1The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.
Note that the reason he gave centered around a FOREIGN COUNTRY. Not United States interests. That is because fewer than 3% of murders are committed with semi-auto rifles and banning them makes no sense when compared to other weapons, if absolute public safety is the argument. You gotta love the other ABC News article linked in the above article, titled, "Is the 2nd Amendment to Blame for Mexican Violence?" NO, Mexicans are to blame for Mexican violence.
