Attorney General Eric Holder says the Obama administration wants to reinstate the ban on sales of assault weapons. Aside from this being a predictable outcome of the general election, unlikely to decrease violent crime anywhere, and will mainly just make the NRA mad, am I wrong to engage in a little headscratching over its intended purpose, i.e. to help Mexico control drug warfare? We're going to enact sweeping gun control in America to help...Mexico? Come on. I'm sure the anti-gun lobby can produce a better argument than that!
But don't worry. I'm sure it's just another one of those mythical laws. It'll never happen, so don't start your postcard campaign [until it's too late to produce any opposition momentum, *snicker snort*].
