Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban

Yep! We don't have to worry about Barkey taking away our guns. Nope, we're just paranoid.

Don't worry, we have the Heller decision.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

During his confirmation hearing, Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee about other gun control measures the Obama administration may consider.

"I think closing the gun show loophole, the banning of cop-killer bullets and I also think that making the assault weapons ban permanent, would be something that would be permitted under Heller," Holder said, referring to the Supreme Court ruling in Washington, D.C. v. Heller, which asserted the Second Amendment as an individual's right to own a weapon.

Bonus: Eric Holder proves he's an ignorant dumbass. re: "the banning of cop-killer bullets"
