"Sucks, don't it?"

Only for those that seek power. It is indeed a sad commentary on the state of this (so-called) nation. The people of the "United" States are so divided that few honest men can be elected.

But actually, I don't think Bush is being dishonest. I think he really does support a ban -- he's just not rabid in his support of it.

(I like your sig BTW. Never understood why (p)EU folks consider "cowboy" an epithet.)

He said the current laws should be enforced. I've heard the NRA say the same thing. And if you think about it, seeing as how the current law includes a sunset feature, then by allowing it to expire is enforcing the current law (assuming the Congress does not vote to extend it). The obvious thing to do now is to lobby the Congress. Keep those cards, letters, phone calls and personal visits going. Make sure your reps and Senators understand that they need to let this thing die.
