Latest Gun Forum Posts [b]George Washington University issued official statement distancing the institution from the terrorist who killed 13 and an unborn baby at Fort Hood military base. The document is revealing that Nidal Hasan attended not one but multiple meetings of the Homeland Security Policy Institute task force that advised the President Obama’s transition team.[/b] Also.. that Eric Holder, and his law firm, had been doing work for some of the Guantanamo detainees before he became AG? Isn't his current work then a conflict of interest? Holder’s statements, recently delivered to senators in writing, clearly indicate the Obama administration is in no rush to reinstate the assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. In response to written questions from Senate Judiciary Committee members, Holder adopted a much different tone on the ban than he did in February, when he said, “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.” That comment attracted many headlines, but the nation’s chief law enforcement officer is now downplaying his earlier remarks. Noting his February statements, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) asked Holder, “Is it still your intent to seek a reinstitution of the ‘assault weapons’ ban?” Holder stressed that he wasn’t breaking new ground earlier this year. His response to a reporter in February, Holder claims, is not akin to “call[ing] for a new assault weapons ban, but rather restating the previously expressed campaign position on this issue.” Regarding the administration’s next step, Holder stated, "The department is currently reviewing existing gun laws to determine how best to combat gun violence and keep guns out of the hands of criminals and others prohibited from possessing them." Holder's response to Coburn is the latest in a series of mixed messages from Obama and his team after the president vowed during his campaign that he would seek to reinstate the ban. The White House quickly distanced itself from Holder's comments in February, but the president said during a press conference in Mexico City in April that he has "not backed off at all from my belief that the assault weapons ban makes sense." Obama acknowledged at the press conference that he was not "under any illusions that reinstating that ban would be easy." A bi-national panel of former government officials and scholars issued a report on Friday recommending the reinstatement of the assault weapons band. It also called for a crackdown on the illegal export of guns to Mexico. http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/67833-holder-dials-back-commitment-to-assault-weapons-ban In 1950, Coffelt, 40, was a member of the [b]White House Police Force[/b], the fore-runner to the US Secret Service Uniformed Division. On Nov. 1, of that year, he was standing post with three other officers (Floyd Boring, Donald T. Birdzell and Joseph H. Downs). At the time, city buses dropped off passengers on Pennsylvania Avenue near Blair House. The Trumans were living in Blair House during White House renovations. On the afternoon of Nov. 1, [b]President Truman was upstairs taking a nap[/b]. [b]Two Puerto Rican nationalists[/b], Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola, approached Blair House from opposite directions and opened fire. Coffelt, stationed inside a guard booth, suffered three gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. Coffelt rallied enough to exit the booth, brace himself against it and, from a distance of about 30 feet, shoot Torresola to death with a single shot to the head. Coffelt died hours later from his wounds. Truman was never endangered by the assassination attempt. Collazo and Griselio never made it inside Blair House, thanks to Coffelt and the other White House Police Force officers (Birdzell and Downs were also wounded, but recovered). The last line of defense was another officer in the house, armed with a [b]Thompson submachine gun[/b]. Because of Officer Coffelt's actions, mortally wounded though he was, the last line was not approached. Coffelt is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in,' I would have done it. - Diane Feinstein
