US Attorney General Eric Holder Suggests New Assault Weapon Ban

According to MSNBC, Obama's new Attorney General (and historical gun-control proponent) Eric Holder has suggested re-instituting the failed Assault Weapon Ban of 1994:

"The attorney general also suggested that re-instituting a U.S. ban on the sale of assault weapons would help reduce the bloodshed in Mexico, where last year 6,000 people were killed in drug-related violence."

This should not come as a surprise to anyone who has followed Mr. Holder's career and nomination.
