O-Day + 102: Down the Memory Hole..

Kaveman notes that the "Crime" issue from Whitehouse.gov seems to have disappeared. You know, the section stating support for a renewed AWB. Now the only thing showing is a "Sportsmen" section w/ no mention of firearms.

Can anyone else find it?

That's on Change.gov I admit, but I can't find it anywhere on Whitehouse.gov and I know it used to be.

I'm under no illusion that Obama has abandoned the goal of a new AWB, but it seems he's doing a bit of back-stepping.

I sent this out on Jan. 20 to my friends and family. I saved the email. The link is no longer good:

Taken from http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/urban_policy/

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

Looks like the administration realizes that since you can't find ammo at Wal-Mart anymore that middle America may really like their guns.

Winston Smith was ordered to remove all references to Tiarht, AWB and the word "permanent".
