There was a segments on Lou Dobbs tonight stating that several members of congress, including a number of Democrats, sent a letter to AG Holder indicating they would not support a renewal of the "assault weapons ban" and that he has appeared to back off.

I think congress is feeling the pressure from us and our letters, calls etc, so we definitely need to keep it up. It was some good news in what is sure to be a long fight to preserve our rights.

ETA: Lou Dobbs has been the only "mainstream" media featuring stories on the assault on the second amendment for several weeks.
