At this time in our nation's history, we need to all be pulling together. I do find it ironic that we are now blaming everyone, including Clinton and Bush, Sr. Sadly, these events could have been stopped with better airport security and even though it didn't involve guns this time, I find it very interesting that a politician in light of these events would have the following position: "Voted against banning plastic bullets & cop-killer bullets ....... opposes gun control limits. He was one of just 21 members of Congress, in December of 1985, to vote against a ban on armor piercing bullets -- called cop killer bullets. Three years later he was one of only four members of the House voting against a ban on plastic guns that could slip through airport security machines undetected. The National Rifle Association did not oppose this ban. Also in 1988, ...... voted to scrap a proposed national seven-day waiting period on handgun purchases." I've left his name out by purpose...but again I find it interesting in the year of 2001.
