The Brady law requires background checks before individuals can purchase weapons. Ashcroft said that measure, and other federal firearm regulations now in place, are reasonable and he will continue to defend them, as he pledged to do in his Senate confirmation hearings.

Its reasonable to ban weapons based upon cosmetic features? Its reasonable to attempt to ban weapons because they can "pierce armored limos", which only the wealthy and politicians have? Oh, go to hell, Asscroft.

What is this, open season on J. Ashcroft? I thought
most conservatives really liked him. Just why are a
lot of you trashing him at every turn? I don't know
about you, but I think he is a definite improvement
on J. Reno! What do you want, a plaster saint for an
Attorney General? For President? Well, you may be
looking for a long, long, time, because no person has
been perfect but the Lord himself when he was here.
