Bush has said that he would sign a renewal of the AWB. - Correct?

I don't know, if you can cite an article, that would help.

You are too inept to do a search on Bush renewing the AWB? -



First hit of several thousand:


-- White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer conducted an early afternoon briefing. Here is an excerpt:

"Q: Let me ask you something about the assault weapons ban. I realize the President was for the reauthorization back in 2000. Why does he support that?

"MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the President thought, and said so at the time in 2000, that the assault weapon ban was a reasonable step. The assault weapon ban was crafted with the thought that it would deter crime. There are still studies underway of its crime deterring abilities, but the President thought that was reasonable, and that's why he supported it. And that's why he supports the reauthorization of the current ban.
