ABC News: Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
I just read Holder's quote:
"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,"
There are many policy changes Obama might "like to make", but that is hardly the same as "intends to pursue" in light of the current agenda and continued interest in pursuing bi-partisanship.

Relax, the AWB introduced last year, with few co-sponsors, died in committee in the House w/o a hearing and did not even result in a companion bill in the Senate.

Why would he waste political capital on a bill that he knows would be DOA on arrival on the Hill?
