Need quote from Bu*h on Assualt weapons

[DU9598]

Can anyone here help me find a source for Bush's quote on the assault weapons' ban, specifically where he said he thought assualt weapons were "unnecessary."

A quote or link would be great help in a current office debate right now. Thanks

"It makes no sense for assault weapons to be around our society."

"The president has "made it clear he supports the extension of the assault weapons ban," said White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan.

2. So why did Chimpy let the AWB go?

He's handing the terrorists a silver platter thanks to this.

3. Judging from B*sh's actions, as opposed to his words...

...it seems that the terrorist threat has been somewhat overstated. But he wouldn't go and do something like that on purpose, now, would he?
