The Constitution Party is criticizing Bush for his silence on the DC gun ban repeal:

At various campaign stops around the country, President Bush has said, to applause, that he stands “strongly for the Second Amendment, which gives every American the indivisible right to bear arms.” But, his failure to support Rep. Mark Souder’s (R-Ind.) legislation which would repeal all of Washington DC’s laws which prohibit private gun ownership shows that when it comes to the Constitutionally-protected right of individual citizens to keep and bear arms, Mr. Bush is all talk and no action.

As recently as September 28, 2004, the “Washington Post” reported White House spokesman Claire Buchan as having “declined to comment on the specifics of Souder’s bill.”

Bush, after saying he’d support the AWB, was also criticized for his silence on the issue by the anti-gunners. Then, his campaign basically lied after the ban expired and said they pushed for the ban.

I’m sure the Senate would pass the gun ban repeal bill if Bush prompted them to do so. OK, Mr. Pro-Gun President, let’s see it.
