Kerry Blasts Bush on Guns
/John F. Kerry blasted President Bush yesterday for
allowing the ban on semiautomatic weapons to expire, as the Democratic
nominee intensified his attack on the president's character,
consistency and commitment to fighting terrorism. In a small gymnasium
at the Thurgood Marshall Center in Washington, surrounded by police
officers and politicians including D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams,
Kerry accused Bush of helping put dangerous weapons in the hands of
terrorists by refusing to fight for an extension of the ban on semiautomatic weapons. The ban expired yesterday. [more
