Drew, fixed the link..........did you read this?
'When asked whether Obama supported renewing the 1994-2004 federal ban of semi-automatic weapons for civilians, Carney responded,
“He does support renewing the assault weapons ban,” and he added that “there has been reluctance by Congress to pass that renewal.”
The ban starts here.......

Hey pete, thanks for passing this along.
This discussion lends itself to the need of this website to have a political forum established. Other outdoor websites to which I belong have this. It would be nice to have a specific place to discuss such issues as gun control, the crappy condition of Louisiana roads, corrupt politicians that steal five-gallon buckets of money from the taxpayers and spend a few years at a 'country club style' prison, etc. and be yet be segregated from the hunting and fishing reports. Good Luck!!
Drew, what concerns me the most about Obama is all the things he's already done by 'Executive Order', WITHOUT the approval of Congress (they're too 'wimpy' to IMPEACH him). If given another term, many of us are scared Obama will 'Crown himself King' and do like Chavez did to Venezuala. These people also fell for the Obama 'Hope and Change' crap, and look what Chavez has done to their Country. He continues to get elected by controlled, crooked elections.
I don't trust Obama any further than I can throw him. It was just learned that one of his 2nd term (if re-elected) agenda items is 'GUN CONTROL'! Read this:
