Only mention of this suppossed story is in message boards which are not a reliable source. The post from the message board says the information was taken from Bob Woodwards book. It says Ashcroft expects the RFID tracking device to be used in gun control. It also quotes a story from fox news. I haven't read Woodwards book so I can't call the poster a liar. Have you read it? --------------- Posted on Monday, April 19, 2004 - 10:07 pm: "If Bush is re-elected, Attorney General John Ashcroft fully expects radio tracking tags to be mandated for all guns under a sweeping antiterror bill, reveals Bob Woodward in his new book, 'Plan of Attack.' The bill would require anyone selling a gun to enter its RFID number and the purchaser's name and address into a national database. The Attorney General is quoted as saying the system would enable the government to trace the path of any weapons that might be used in terrorist attacks. 'This technology, with expanded power to prosecute those who aid terror-related organizations, will dry up the pool of traitors who arm terrorists,' Ashcroft told Woodward earlier this year." --FOX NEWS 4/19/2004 Are the Republicans that much better at upholding our rights these days? My love of freedom has been my main reason for being a Republican, but with this administration grabbing rights from the congress and intruding on our privacy, and now they want to track our guns with these chips that you can read from a ways away, the demmies look less nasty by the minute. I'm starting to feel like Kerry's got the same views as Bush on most issues, but Kerry would like to play by the rules of the constitution. If this thing passes, it's only a matter of time before both cops and criminals carry RFID readers and it won't matter if you live in a concealed-carry state! 216.239.39.104.
