"Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?
A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what's the point of passing gun laws if we're not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law."
I called Michael Steele's office to get a response on the following quote from a Washington Post interview, and his secretary said, "Mr Steele doesn't have any opinion at the present time about the Second Ammendment or any future AWB."
How can the leader of the Republican Party not have an opinion on the AWB? Oh wait, he already does....

Oh good. RNC Chairman seeds constitutionality.
disgusting imo.
For any of the doubters:
Call them at:
Office of the Chairman
Phone: 202-863-8700
They will give you the same canned response!
Oh the rinos keeping coming out
Come on, he’s a black man, the GOP needs black people! They know so much more than the rest of us.
Rush already exposed him at CPAC and today. You had your chance Steele and you blew it. Next!
Steele is off my “gives a crap” list.
Has he modified his stance since then? Regardless, his criticism of Rush makes him unworthy.
Pathetic. The Chair of the GOP has NO CLUE what the 2nd amendment is about. It’s time to abandon them. Crisis brings opportunity, and the opportunity now is to LEAVE the GOP. They are worthless. Let’s take the handful of good GOPers with us and start a REAL new revolution. A peaceful revolution of ideas. Leave the GOP in the ashheap where they belong.
Supposedly Rush lit him up today, unfortunately, I did not get to hear it.
Steele Must GO!!!
A black man if anyone should understand the need for the 2nd amendment and the reason it was put in the BOR.
You don’t use an Assault Rifle to go hunting. You use them to solve People Problems.
Well...at least Mr. Steele is revealing himself now. We need to force his resignation. Enough is enough. He has said so many dumb things the past week and a half it’s ridiculous.
I called to get a response on that quote, and I was told he has no opinion on the Second Amendment or the AWB.
Some leader
That's what he should be doing.
Turns out he is ceding it.
Not only that he’s GUTLESS...
Steele couldn’t even get rid of the RINO’S in his own party. Oh BTW, did I mention he’s black? (s/)
I wonder if he’s aware of the Louisianan Black Code. But he thinks there’s only 300 Gun Laws so probably not.
