Speaking alongside Mexican President Felipe Calderón, Obama said he has "not backed off at all" on a campaign pledge to try to restore the ban. It was instituted under President Clinton and allowed to lapse by President George W. Bush.

"I continue to believe that we can respect and honor the Second Amendment right in our Constitution -- the rights of sportsmen and hunters and homeowners that want to keep their families safe -- to lawfully bear arms, while dealing with assault weapons that, as we know here in Mexico, are used to fuel violence," Obama said.
The "Constitutional Scholar" still doesn't get that 2nd Amendment is not about sports or hunting.
Then there is this bit selective journalism:
He said that more than 16,000 assault weapons have been seized in the crackdown on drug traffickers, with almost 9 in 10 coming from the United States.
Luckily, Special Agent William Newell has given us the complete story.

Confronting a Mexican drug war that is "sowing chaos in our communities," President Barack Obama signaled Thursday he will not seek renewal of a U.S. assault weapons ban but instead will step up enforcement of laws banning the transfer of such guns across the border.
Maybe Obama's words really do come with an expiration date.

Another lie from Obama: "...and allowed to lapse by President George W. Bush."
Um, No, Obamafraud, the AWB was allowed to lapse by a Democrat controlled Congress. It never got to the Oval Office. GWB had nothing to do with it.
