REP. ENGEL URGES PRESIDENT OBAMA TO ENFORCE RESTRICTIONS ON IMPORTED ASSAULT WEAPONS
Chairman of the House Western Hemisphere Subcommittee Leads Letter with 53 Members of Congress
Washington, D.C.--Congressman Eliot Engel, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, wrote a letter signed by 53 Members of Congress urging President Obama to “return to enforcement of the law banning imports of assault weapons, which was previously enforced during the administrations of Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.” The letter was also led by Congressman Michael Castle (R-DE) and Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY).
“The alarming prevalence of imported assault weapons in the US has put our nation’s police officers at risk. Returning to the Bush 41/Clinton enforcement of the ban on imported assault weapons will protect our brave police forces and all people throughout New York and the United States,” said Rep. Engel.
Engel added that returning to enforcement of the imported assault weapons ban is “a no-brainer that would require no legislative action.”

All Democrats, not a single Republican.
So why it is then on every gun board I visit, every confused liberal posing as a gun owner assured me that "Democrats learned their lesson" not to support more anti-gun crap?
Uh...and speaking about no-brainer, Congressman: when did you had your last PET Scan?
