If I am not mistaken the Senator Bob Dole resurrected the so called "assault weapons ban" in the middle of the night. I remember watching it happen on c-span. The neo-cons and rinos are not friends of liberty any more that democrat-socialists are. Ashcroft is pushing the "Patriot Act II" which is a liberty destroying monster that will drive yet another nail in the coffin of our Republic. Your liberties are not safe as long as congress is in session.

You are mistaken the ban passed in 1994 BEFORE the Republican take over. In 1996 the House tried to repeal it but was unsuccessful.

I'll assume you were drunk and not insane.

The rest of your post shows you to be unworthy of response.

You have the Brady Bill confused with the "assault weapon" ban.

On November 24, 1993, Dole assured conservatives that they could go home for Thanksgiving and that he would stay to oversee the mundane duties of adjourning for the holiday. When the conservatives were gone, he, Mitchel and one other scumbag liberal passed the Brady Bill.

Here's what Sen. Dole had to say about his actions:

I know the Gun Owners of America, another group, have a little different view. They are blaming me for the Brady bill that passed because I sat there with the majority leader and everybody else had gone home, and we made an arrangement. We let that bill pass. I was picketed, and they called me a traitor, and everything else . . . because that happened. (Source: Congressional Record, August 23, 1994, p. S 12363.)

On November 19, 1993, Bob Dole voted for the Feinstein "assault weapon" ban on more than 180 semi-auto firearms. Moreover, less than two weeks earlier Dole had brokered an agreement which prevented a filibuster on the Feinstein amendment from ever taking place. (Source: Congressional Record, November 10, 1993, p. S15584-5.)

In January, 1994, Bob Dole urged the President -- on nationwide T.V. -- to support the Senate version of the crime bill that contained the Feinstein gun ban. (Source: Dole's rebuttal to Clinton's State of the Union Address, reprinted in the The Washington Post, 1/26/94.)
