Just heard Asskroft on the radio during the hearings affirming his support for the assault weapon ban ( and Herr Busch's support of same) and their intention to reimplement that ban when it sunsets. So much for his being against guncontrol -- he made it pretty clear that he believes the 2nd is about sporting arms, not military weapons.
Remember - Republicans aren't against Gun Control or Wiretapping, they're just against Democrats, so they've been using these things as excuses to beat up Democrats. Now that it's their turn in power, of course they're in favor of things that will make it harder to shoot people in power and easier to catch people who do... Thanks!
