Well, crime has increased since Bush came into office. I wasn't aware of the NRA's position, but I believe Democratic politicians should make a clearer distinction between those who use guns responsibility and those who use guns to kill other people, like the Washington sniper.

Murder, other violent crimes increase in U.S. Oct. 28, 2002 chron.com Associated Press The following is an excerpt: WASHINGTON --" Murder, rape and every other violent criminal act except aggravated assault rose last year, the FBI said today in reporting the first year-to-year increase in overall crime in a decade. The number of murders increased for the second straight year, following several years of decline, according to the FBI, which compiles its annual survey from crimes reported by 17,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide. The 15,980 murders represented a 2.5 percent increase over 2000, while forcible rapes were up less than 1 percent and robberies rose 3.7 percent. Aggravated assaults fell by a half-percentage point, reaching its lowest level since 1987. The FBI did not include the Sept. 11 deaths at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pennsylvania. These deaths, the FBI said, "are different from the day-to-day crimes committed in this country."
