Edmondson Joins Pro-Gun Letter Signers

Attorney General Drew Edmondson is among 23 top law enforcement officials who have signed a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, expressing opposition to reinstatement of the federal ban on semi-automatic firearms.

"We share the Obama Administration's commitment to reducing illegal drugs and violent crime within the United States," the letter reads. "We also share your deep concern about drug cartel violence in Mexico. However, we do not believe that restricting law-abiding Americans' access to certain semi-automatic firearms will resolve any of these problems."

The letter notes congressional opposition to bringing back the ban, and calls for increasing enforcement of existing laws.
