I have my bias (it's left-leaning, btw).
Now that that's out of the way -- I think it is perfectly irrational to allow someone to own one of these weapons.
I saw Brady's wife on tv (Mrs.Brady) and the poor woman seemed a little flabbergasted about the whole thing. "George will sign it if they ask him to, they won't send him the bill unless he asks for it..."was how she seemed to put it.
She went all the way back to Gerald Ford and included Reagan and Bush The Elder in a list of people who had worked towards this ban and now it's all gone.
The Democrats suck, incidentally. He waits until today to bring this up? Come on man. (Although it would have looked bad if he harped on it and then Bush did sign the thing).
