The "assault weapons ban" is certainly not as far-reaching as I'd like to see. In fact, it's completely unsatisfactory - but it's the best compromise that could get through Congress, and it does make it a little harder for people to get guns that can kill a lot of people quickly. I'll admit it's a complicated, bureaucratic thing that makes a lot of gun owners unhappy - but maybe the gun owners should support this law because it's a lot less that gun control supporters want.

So, Bruce, I don't think it's honest to say that Kerry lied. He used verbal shortcuts and failed to give a three-page legal definition when he spoke against the repeal of the ban, but who can blame him? Give the guy a break. Disagree with him on issues - but don't call him a liar, just because he didn't split the hairs quite properly. The issue is that he supports gun control and you don't. It's not a matter of dishonesty, at least not on his part.
