me every month:

Are these Democrats fearful that the documents the Obama administration is withholding would reveal the true motivation behind "Fast and Furious?" Was it a plan to flood Mexico with firearms that could readily be traced back to the U.S., lending credence to the "90 percent" sound-bite Obama's office manufactured as a reason to reinstate the "assault weapons" ban, or to enact new restrictions such as the administrations' current rifle sales reporting scheme?

First Freedom, September 2012, p.38

The NRA is happy to take any lead and run with it to prove Obama is 'just waiting until his second term' to grab the guns. I am sure next month I will be treated to the 'proof' of that by the statement in the party platform.

It would have been fine w/o calling for the AWB.
