I have no intention of joining a National Gun Registration.

I suppose we will have to see if the Government is willing to arrest Millions of citizens and hold them in concentration camps.

I admit it has been done before by Hitler, but I cannot believe Americans will put up with it.

U.S. BANS IMPORTS OF ASSAULT RIFLES IN SHIFT BY BUSH

March 15, 1989

The Bush Administration today banned imports of semiautomatic assault rifles indefinitely, pending a review of whether the military-style weapons are being used for sporting purposes.

The step, announced by William J. Bennett, the director of national drug policy, is effective immediately and was taken after officials learned that requests this year from importers to bring in the weapons had already nearly tripled those for all of 1988

But White House officials said Mr. Bush, a life member of the National Rifle Association and an opponent of gun control, shifted his position after lobbying by Mr. Bennett, by drug officials and by his wife, Barbara, who had indicated she favored a ban.
