"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"

It won't be. He knows it, and so does the Prez.

DTogo:
if it is sent to him by Congress
He knows, as the President does, it will never be sent.

The AWB is gone. Dead. Gonzales is not a congressman, and has no power to resurrect it.
His own personal opinion, as Attorney General, is of no consequence.

You fellas are whistling in the dark.

Congress is chomping at the bit, just waiting for the next 'assault weapons' incident to make them look like heros to the Brady Bun

No we're not. The AWB is dead. Tom DeLay has promised to keep it dead.

Bingo! They didn't do it in an election year, for sure, but just wait. The Dems are all for it. The RINOS are all for it, and I'll wager there are a bunch of other GOP congresscritters who'll surprise everyone.

Bush has said he's for it. Gonzales says so today. It's coming. It may take some incident to start it, but it's coming.

I can't think of an upside to this unconstitutional posturing.
