MEXICO CITY - Acknowledging a Mexican drug war that is "sowing chaos in our communities," President Barack Obama signaled Thursday he will not seek the reinstatement of a U.S. assault weapons ban but instead step up enforcement of existing laws against taking such weapons across the border. Despite a campaign promise to see the lapsed ban renewed, Obama was bowing to the reality that to do so would be unpopular in politically key U.S. states and among Republicans as well as some conservative Democrats. |

I do agree with that. However, this hysteria of a weapons ban that is causing the current run on guns and ammo, is really just hurting ourselves. I've talked with several other fathers looking for just .22 rimfire ammo so they can take their kids shooting. Its just not to be found. This is frustrating familys as well as individuals and could potentially turn off our youth to shooting if it becomes too difficult to introduce them to the sport. A well armed group of 60 year olds just aint going to cut it long term for our sport. We cannot afford to loose the youth if we wish to remain strong as gun owning citizens and sportsmen. -DallanC |
