The Senate was ready to pass the assault weapons ban reauthorization. they had the votes. It was the house and members like Delay and the Republican leadership that refused to hold a vote. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White house. They are to blame.
Where you place blame, I'm placing credit. I don't doubt that any attempt to extend it would have failed in the House. As for the Senate, they had their chance and they overwhelmingly sank it.

I have been for the assault weapons ban, I mean who in their right mind would want m-16's (automatics), AK47's, Mac 10's, ect on the street. But then a friend at work informed me that the assault weapon ban only addressed the cosmetic appearance of a weapon and the size of a clip. Is this correct?

Therefore, the WH and GWB are hypocrites for saying they support signing the reauthorization but working behind the scene to kill it. HYPOCRITES and cowards for not standing up for their real beliefs but of course I expect nothing less. :thumbsdown:
