Obama Sees Difficulty in Reinstating Weapons Ban

Posted By Sheldon Richman

“[President] Obama indicated that while he favors reinstating the U.S. ban on assault weapons, which Congress allowed to expire five years ago, the move would face too much political opposition to happen soon. He said better enforcing existing laws to prevent arms smuggling would have a more immediate effect on keeping U.S. weapons from Mexican cartels.” (Washington Post ^[1], Friday)
