16. "I have not backed off at all from my belief that the assault weapons ban makes sense"
"I have not backed off at all from my belief that the assault weapons ban makes sense," Obama said, adding that he is not "under any illusions that reinstating that ban would be easy."

TheHill



Probably smart politics. He's not abandoning the rabid gun banners in his base, but he's denying the NRA the fight they're dying to have.



Still, his comments should keep "assault weapon" sales in overdrive.
