It Was Predicted; Now It will Happen

DrMike · Feb 26, 2009

Well, many people predicted that the Obama administration would institute an assault weapons ban. Intuitively, the shooting community has known this and sales of black rifles and ammunition has escalated dramatically since the elections. Now, it looks like the AW ban will happen. With Democrat control of the senate and congress, it would appear to be an almost certainty.

AG Holder is requesting the ban (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6960824&page=1). It will not surprise me if an ammunition tax and/or ban follows. What happens in the states will undoubtedly have an effect on us in Canada.
