WASHINGTON — Sixty-five House Democrats said Wednesday that they would oppose any attempt by the Obama administration to revive a ban on military-style weapons that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1994 and President George W. Bush let expire.
The pro-gun Democrats, led by Rep. Mike Ross, D- Ark., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder that they would “actively oppose any effort to reinstate the 1994 ban or to pass any similar law.”
The letters came after Holder, in announcing the arrest of Mexican drug dealers, said the cartels were obtaining high-powered weapons from U.S. stores and that the Obama administration supported reinstituting the ban.
