Gonzales pointed out that his brother Tony is a SWAT officer in Houston. "I worry about his safety and the types of weapons he will confront on the street," Gonzales said. "The president has made it clear that he stands ready to sign a reauthorization of the federal assault weapons ban if it is sent to him by Congress. I, of course, support the president on this issue."

Why is this surprising. Bush is for it. Gonzales works for Bush. I'd be surprised if he said anything else.

He is defusing the entire issue exactly like Dubya did.

This treatment of the issue makes it impossible for the MSM to demagague Gonzales.

How will reauthorizing the ban prevent "Tony" from facing AK-47's illegally brought in from China? Unless he wants "Tony" to invade the homes of law-abiding gun owners to seize their weapons....hmmm.
