Obama backs Assault Weapons ban

Quote:
President Obama "would actively support an impending proposal next year to reinstate a ban on assault weapons as part of the wide-ranging effort the president promised to initiate in response to mass shooting incidents this year," NBC News reports.

White House press secretary Jay Carney also said that Obama "was additionally willing to consider limiting the capacity of ammunition magazines and closing a loophole allowing individuals to purchase firearms at gun shows without a background check."

Is anybody really against any of those 3 proposed measures? Not exactly abolishing the 2nd Amendment. Sounds all like Common Sense to me.

Was it this thread or elsewhere where I read about 40% of all American gun sales are private, i.e. gun shows and Internet but not at gun stores, which under the Brady Bill are mandated to run background checks on prospective gun owners?
