(CNSNews.com) - A Second Amendment group says Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should resign as the nation’s highest ranking law enforcement officer, given his “troubling support” for a new gun control bill that seeks to close the “terror gap” in federal law.

S. 1237 would give the attorney general, a presidential appointee, the authority to suspend or cancel someone’s Second Amendment right, even if that person has never been charged with a crime, the Second Amendment Foundation warned.

At the Justice Department’s request, the bill was introduced last week by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), whom SAF describes as one of the most extreme anti-gunners in Congress.
