Q Let me ask you something about the assault weapons ban. I realize
the President was for the reauthorization back in 2000. Why does he
support that? 

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the President thought, and said so at the time in
2000, that the assault weapon ban was a reasonable step. The assault
weapon ban was crafted with the thought that it would deter crime.
There are still studies underway of its crime deterring abilities, but
the President thought that was reasonable, and that's why he supported
it. And that's why he supports the reauthorization of the current ban.

You are in serious denial.

None of the above nor any Republican either.

I would rather have had Harry Brown.
