You remember when those guys snuck those assault weapons on those planes? Me neither. I thought they used box cutters. But three former presidents are encouraging Bush to renew the assault weapons ban as a terror measure:

Former Presidents Ford, Carter and Clinton are urging President Bush to save the landmark 1994 federal Assault Weapons Act, which is set to expire Sept. 13 unless the President and Congress act.

Saying “at a time when terrorism continues to be a serious threat, it is even more imperative that we renew the Assault Weapons Act and limit access to military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips.” The former Presidents point out that there are few Congressional working days left before the ban expires, and urge President Bush “to make reauthorization of the Assault Weapons Act a top priority for your Administration and spur Congress to action.”

Lame.
