I'll believe that ban going away when I see it.
Hey liberals, you can't pass an extension to the assault weapons ban if you are stuck filibustering Estrada!
Ouch, that's got to hurt!
Oh yeah, you can't pass such an extension through a Republican House, Senate, and Presidency, either (especially when said groups have just finished passing TWO arming pilots pro-gun laws in the last year or so).
That's got to hurt even more!
Man, the VPC's PRNewswire is going to melt!
Yet just last week the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that the White House supported extending the ban. Ashcroft's refusal to voice support for renewal of the ban represents a dramatic shift in the Administration's position. Good. Maybe someone in the administration realized that they aren't going to get re-elected if they re-authorize this abominable, anti-constitutional piece of passed legislation pretending to be a law.
