Hitting the nail on the head
Chris Cox on the assault weapons ban:
The debate is not about so-called assault weapons. It’s about banning guns.
Indeed. The article also has some good information about the political impact of the ban on the 1996 elections. Gun owners do vote. Otherwise, Kerry wouldn’t use every opportunity to pose with a gun and Cheney wouldn’t be trying to smooth things over with the NRA because Bush supports the assault weapons ban. However, neither is fooling me.
