CFZ discussion this a.m. regarding hypocrisy of W admin:

<<snip>>

The International Association of Chiefs of Police, the
nation's largest group of law enforcement executives,
has already written one letter to the F.B.I. opposing
Mr. Ashcroft's policy on gun records, and is drafting
a
second letter questioning the decision not to check
the gun records.

"This is absurd and unconscionable," said Larry Todd,
the police chief of Los Gatos, Calif., and a member of
the group's firearms committee. "The decision has no
rational basis in public safety.

"It sounds to me like it was made for narrow political
reasons based on a right-to-bear-arms mentality," he
said. "If someone is under investigation for a
terrorist act, all the records we have in this country
should be
checked, including whether they bought firearms."
