I guess a summary of the "Bean" opinion and a link to the original would have been too difficult to do?

Regarding the Bush Administration being anti-gun: who did you think we were electing, Neal Knox?
President Bush has other things on his plate in addition to gun laws; the war in Afghanistan, for example. He's not going to squander his political capital on tossing out bad gun laws.
It's the responsibility of the Congress to write, re-write, or delete laws. It's your responsibility to understand the process, and to write your Congresscritter and convince him to do the right thing.

I live in a political district with Senatrixes Babs Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Pete Stark, State Assemblymen John Dutra and State Senatrix Liz Figueroa. On top of that, my governor is Dufus Davis and the AG is Bill (I Hate Your Guns) Lockyer. These people have a lock on political power. I have worked tirelessly for over ten years against these miscreants; contributed mightily to PACs and conservative (such as they are) candidates. My solution is to leave this area as soon as I retire.
