Not now, Eric

From JPFO, on the timing of the next "Assault Weapons" ban:

Barack Hussein Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder naively blurted out the other day that he was going to lead the charge to get the so-called “Assault Weapons Ban” reinstated.

Mind you, civilian ownership of “assault weapons” (by definition fully automatic firearms) has been legally forbidden to nearly all civilians since 1934. Yes, one can, with great effort, obtain a Class III Federal Firearms License, pay a $200 transfer fee, and, if you can find one, pay an exorbitant amount of money for a pre 1986 machine gun. However, for all intents and purposes, “commoners” can’t own them legally.

But none of that makes any difference to the pandering gun prohibition crowd. They are now, and always have been, the most insidious and manipulative of liars. Their smarmy deceptional dexterity would have made Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels green with envy.

Attorney General Holder’s main argument? To help the Mexican government fight drug cartels.

What?? This is the Attorney General of the United States of America, not Mexico’s Minister of Justice. On top of that, the insanely wealthy Mexican drug kingpins can buy guns from a dozen alternate sources across the globe. Or, they could set up factories and make their own. What a crock. But let me stay on point here…

Holder’s rookie presentation came off so lame and fundamentally misdirected that many Liberals in Congress must have cringed and gritted their teeth.

So… the very next day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi completely refuted Holder’s plan!

It was an intriguing slap on the wrist for Holder, and perhaps a valuable insight for American gun owners.

Pelosi’s implied message to Holder was: “Not now, Eric. The time is not yet ripe.”

Friends, you must understand that the victim disarmament crowd absolutely MUST have another Columbine or Stockton Schoolyard or shopping mall semi-automatic RIFLE massacre to grease the skids of their agenda. As I’ve said before: They don’t want the handguns nearly as fervently as they want the semi-auto rifles.
...
The short story? Obama and the Congress simply do not have a leg to stand on if they simply step up and start pushing for a ban on the sale of semi automatic rifles and high capacity ammunition magazines. There are too many other very loud noises in the barnyard right now.

“Not now, Eric. The time is not yet ripe.”

BUT…

With another Columbine or Stockton Schoolyard or shopping mall massacre, the flood gates have opened wide.

Then you’ll see Schumer and Feinstein and McCarthy, spearheaded by Eric Holder, pompously leading the resurrection of the so-called “Assault Weapons Ban”. The BATFE will be unleashed into a feeding frenzy of jackbooted injustice. ...

Article here. With all that's on the Big O's and Congress' plate at the moment (bankrupting the country is hard work, you know), I suspect that the big push for a new and "improved" AWB will indeed come after another mass shooting, probably at a "gun-free" disarmed victim zone.
