I did not read about his views on assault weapons. Please don’t tell me he’s for banning them. I would cry.

"Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?
[Michael Steele] A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what's the point of passing gun laws if we're not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law."
I called Michael Steele's office to get a response on the following quote from a Washington Post interview, and his secretary said, "Mr Steele doesn't have any opinion at the present time about the Second Ammendment or any future AWB."
How can the leader of the Republican Party not have an opinion on the AWB? Oh wait, he already does....
