Oopsie!

One of Obama's minions let it slip:

"As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.

The article was kind enough to print a prior here's-how-I-love-hyperbole comment from Holder:

"I think closing the gun show loophole, the banning of cop-killer bullets and I also think that making the assault weapons ban permanent, would be something that would be permitted under Heller," Holder said, referring to the Supreme Court ruling in Washington, D.C. v. Heller, which asserted the Second Amendment as an individual's right to own a weapon.

"Cop-killer bullets" ... As opposed to bullets that don't kill cops? What kind of bullets would those be, pray tell?

Idiot.

Nancy backpedaled:

“On that score, I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference. “I think it's clear the Bush administration didn’t do that.”

I'm not naive enough to think the Obama administration and the Democrats aren't foaming at the mouth for more gun control, but I'm not convinced they'll do it right now. Obama is pushing his political capital as it is. Far too many people are pissed-off about the specifics of the Spendulous bill and the details coming out about the budget. I don't think he's quite drunk enough with power to go that far ... at this juncture.

Mark my words. Here's how it will go down (as if this is some Nostradamus-esque prediction):

They'll sit on it for now. There will be a bill introduced, and it'll sit in committee (which may very well be done already,) and there it will stay until the next Columbine. When that happens, they'll ride the wave of support - however temporary - and they'll pass it.

It's just a matter of time ... and timing.

I'm no super-blogger, but you heard it here first, folks.
