Gun owners in Nevada or those who have Democratic Representatives who signed the Anti-AWB letter are especially helpful.
Woo hoo!
You may touch my sleeve...
Gun owners in Nevada or those who have Democratic Representatives who signed the Anti-AWB letter are especially helpful.
Eric Holder, talking to Katie Couric last week:He is obviously going to push for one whenever he thinks he has a chance. If it crosses his desk I am sure he will sign it.
Robert Gibbs, in Thursday's press briefing:I don’t think it has and in fact, I look forward to working with the NRA to come up with ways in which we can use common-sense approaches to reduce the level of violence that we see in our streets and make the American people as safe as they can possibly be. (...) These are issues that we’ll have to discuss. The president will be the one who will ultimately set policy — things that are politically saleable and things that will ultimately be effective.
Holder's now talking about working with the NRA, who, no matter what you think of their actions in the 1990s, will not concede another AWB. Gibbs' bit about "enforcing laws already on the books" takes another page directly from NRA literature.I think the President is looking for a coordinated strategy to deal with violence. (...) I was asked specifically about assault weapons. I think the President would — the President believes particularly that there are other strategies that we can take to enforce the laws that are already on our books
I've heard and read the words but am still a skeptic. The anti gun history of the president and a large number of his staff don't make it very easy to believe they won't pursure additional gun laws when they see an opportunity.
I guess he really wants to be a single termer....
Arguably it may even supersede the COTUS.
