Feinstein is introducing a Kalifornia style ban
meanwhile here's what are president thinks...
"There are times when we agree [the NRA] and there are times when we disagree," said Scott McClellan, a White House spokesman. "The president makes decisions based on what he believes is the right policy for Americans." Mr. McClellan added that the ban was put in place as a way of deterring crime and that Mr. Bush "felt it was reasonable."

I say that if Bush signs it, then he is either STUPID, or wants to throw the election.

"The Bush administration has announced its support for continuing the prohibition on military-style assault weapons."
"The president makes decisions based on what he believes is the right policy for Americans."
You mean he doesn't make decisions based on the Constitution for the United States? [/sarcasm]

If Bush signs this, he will lose. Period.

The president had better pay VERY close attention to what gun owners think. If Mr. Bush plays "Mr. Moderate" with this issue, then he will loose my vote in 2004. Period.

The police-state thugs are introducing a true BAN so that the NRA can take credit for protecting us from it, and only advocating for an extension of the existing ban. The NRA will play the role of "Useful Idiots" here, as often before.)
Mark my words.
(And I will be delighted to be proven wrong.)

The best way to keep "assault weapons" off the street is to put them away properly in your gun cabinet. I never leave expensive firearms on the street.

keep assault weapons off the streetsWhat do they mean by off the streets? Are homeless people carrying semi-auto rifles around these days?
BTW it's legal to do so in Idaho assuming you're not a felon. Concealed, too.

The bill by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., is modeled on California lawDoes this mean we all get to contribute $.10 a bullet so the proceeds can go towards emergency room care for the illegals children?

Anyone who votes solely on one issue is really full of themselves. It's like a senator using a litmus test to vote on judical nominees.
I don't like the ban either. But congress still has to authorize it's extention. If the bill doesn't get to his desk, it's a win-win situation for Bush: He won't get to sign it and he won't shed a tear over it either.
If a congress controlled by the republican party votes to extend the ban than that speaks volumes of the whole party, and not just Bush.
