Just a refresher.

Led by Arkansas Congressman, Mike Ross, sixty-five pro-gun Democrats--including Oregon's inestimable Pete DeFazio--signed an open letter to Attorney General Eric Holder opposing any effort to renew the so-called Assault Weapons Ban. 65 Congressmen represents a significant portion of Democratic house majority; enough to show clearly the assault weapons ban (AWB) is dead in the current Congress.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, respectively the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, have already gone on record publicly opposing any new AWB. It is my sincere hope that the perennial anti-gun legislators will recognize the futility of bringing forward any new legislation to ban any currently legal class of firearm, thus avoiding political theater that could only damage Democrats despite the hard work by so many Democratic Congressmen.

It is absolutely relevant because the Democrats controlled every branch in 2009. If they wanted to do something they could have. The letter is dated March 19, 2009 - Obama took office Jan. 20, 2009.

Since when have Cons ever argued that they want to follow the example of Democrats? You folks really are scraping the bottom of the barrel, aren't you?

Voters should kick out congressional representatives of ANY flavor who still refuse to enact gun control legislation.

When will some of you Democrats realize that not every gun owner is a "Con"? There's a reason behind the Democrat's refusal to step up to the plate when they have the chance to do it. There are just enough Democrats who are gun owners that between them and the Republicans, the Dem politicians who push gun control only get elected in states like California.

Maybe those dems weren't really that gun stupid after all? Knowing the last "AW" ban did squat.
