Gunning for Bush: With the ban on military-style assault weapons ending today, I've gotta ask: what kind of Opposite Day is it when Uzis and AK-47s can be purchased at the local gun shop, but our library records are fair game for law enforcement officials hoping to suss out whether we're terrorists or not? Wouldn't possession of a machine gun be a good indicator of terroristic leanings, moreso than, say, a Nepalese immigrant videotaping his neighborhood in Queens (don't forget this story)? John Kerry laid into the president for breaking his campaign promise to extend the ban that four presidents before him supported: "Today George Bush made the job of terrorists easier and made the job of America's law enforcement officers harder and that's just plain wrong. [He] made a choice today. He chose his powerful friends in the gun lobby over the police officers and the families he promised to protect."
