[William McKinley]

You are right in that I did ask.

I'm still waiting for the receive part.

What you just posted said this:

the extension of the current law

But the assertion was this:

Expect him to strenuously push for, and sign, a much more restrictive Assault Weapons Ban...He said it.

So again, can you or Laz back up the assertion that Bush has said he will push (strenuously) for a much more restrictive (than the current law) AWB?

from the article:

"The president has claimed the middle road -- supporting an extension of the current ban, but not endorsing the stronger measures that gun-control supporters say would outlaw many "copycat" assault weapons. That position has forced Democrats in the Senate to reject plans for a more ambitious weapons ban."
