Obama Calls for Renewal of Assault Weapons Ban
President Obama tonight said he’s interested in seeing an assault weapons ban reintroduced, breaking his silence on the legislation, which has persisted in spite of at least five mass shootings during his term.
As a candidate in 2008, Obama campaigned on permanent reinstatement of the expired assault weapons ban, and Attorney General Eric Holder in 2009 indicated that the administration would lobby for a bill. But that never materialized and the White House has largely avoided talking about it.http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/20 ... apons-ban/
In August, after the Sikh Temple shooting, Jay Carney said, “He does support renewing the assault weapons ban.”
But tonight is the first time during his first term that the sentiment has come from the president’s mouth.
