Bad Idea
Apparently, Dubya has decided to support the Assault Weapons ban.
Instapundit says: Sounds like a good way to be a one-termer, to me.
Even Clinton stated: And we smile about that, but there are some people who would be on this platform today who lost their seats in 1994 because they voted for the Brady Bill and they voted for the assault weapons ban, and they did it in areas where people could be frightened.
Of course, I’ve yakked about the ban for a while:
Irrelevant Aesthetics and Constitutionality
Activist Judges and the Second Amendment
The good part is that the ban will sunset unless it is reintroduced and passed again, which I don’t think will happen anyway.
