      The representatives are running as fast as they can and as far
as they can from gun control laws because they know that they won't
have a job for long if they continue as they have.

  "The fights I fought... cost a lot --the fight for the
assault-weapons ban cost 20 members their seats in Congress.  The NRA
is 
the reason the Republicans control the House."
--President Bill Clinton, Cleveland Plain-Dealer, January 14, 1995 

  "I don't want to destroy the good atmosphere in the room or in the 
country tonight, but I have to mention one issue that divided this
body 
greatly last year.  The last Congress also passed the Brady bill and,
in 
the crime bill, the ban on 19 assault weapons.  I don't think it's a 
secret to anybody in this room that several members of the last
Congress who voted for that aren't here tonight because they voted for

it.  And I know, therefore, that some of you who are here because they

voted for it are under enormous pressure to repeal it.  I just have to

tell you how I feel about it.  The members of Congress who voted for 
that bill and I would never do anything to infringe on the right to
keep 
and bear arms, to hunt and to engage in other appropriate sporting 
activities.  I've done it since I was a boy, and I'm going to keep
right 
on doing it until I can't do it anymore. 
But a lot of people laid down their seats in Congress so that police 
officers and kids wouldn't have to lay down their lives under a hail
of 
assault weapon attack, and I will not  let that be repealed.  I will
not 
let it be repealed."
--President Bill Clinton, State Of  The Union address, January ?, 1995

  
"I don't think there's any doubt that, in at least five states 
I can think of, the NRA had a decisive influence.  You've got 
to hand it to them, they've done a good job.  They've probably 
had more to do than anyone else in the fact that we 
didn't win the House this time.  
And they hurt Al Gore"
-Former President William J. Clinton, speaking to Dan Rather
