It isn't like he was playing "hide the ball."

Below are just a few articles from a Google search on "Obama assault weapons ban".

This one is from his campaign website:

The fact that Obama wants an assault weapons ban doesn't mean one will get passed. The Blue Dogs will make it somewhat challenging to enact a bill with any real teeth to it. But the fact that Obama wants an assault weapons ban is certainly not new information. Get a grip.
nobody believes a word that Obama says about guns. His record has about 100% concordance with the Brady Handgun Control Institute folks. Hence the huge rush on "assault weapons", high-capacity magazines, and ammunition going on right now.
