WASHINGTON, March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney General John Ashcroft, in testimony before Congress yesterday, for the first time refused to offer support for re-authorizing the federal ban on assault weapons. Ashcroft's comments before the Senate Judiciary Committee represent an apparent reversal of Bush Administration policy as well as Ashcroft's prior statements before the committee.

Just remember to keep in mind:

AW Ban status - 9/14/04
Presidential Election - 11/11/04

If the politicians are smart they won't want to touch the issue. The Republicans can only lose votes if they screw up & support the Dems in renewing the ban. I don't think it'll be high on the Republicans list of priorities. It also doesn't have a good chance of making it through the house now. It only passed w/2 votes to start with back in 1994 in a DEMOCRAT controlled house,senate & presidency.

I think our biggest worry is something stated awhile back on another board, as long as some whackjob doesn't go shooting up a school or workplace before then, it has a very slim chance of being renewed. :buttkick

I agree with treedawg - though I hope I'm wrong.
