That Win/Win Issue For Democrats...
Advertisements [?]
From atrios (are liberal sources actually allowed in the gungeon?)

"They said it:

“It makes no sense for assault weapons to be around our society.”
George W. Bush
1999
"The president supports the current law, and he supports reauthorization of the current law."
White House spokesman Scott McClellan
April 2003
Yet here we are, fifteen working days left before the end of the current session of congress and the assault weapon ban due to expire on September 15 with no effort being made to preserve this popular and reasonable restraint on gun violence.
Now, am I naive enough to believe that Bush would buck the NRA during an election year and support the extension of a law supported by 70% of the American public and more than 60% of gun owners?
Nope. So here is a call to action."
