Just remember people, law enforcement needs all of the tools it can to stop further terrorist attacks, because WE ARE AT WAR.

June 17 Neal Knox Update -- Unless he has changed his mind
over the weekend, Sen. John McCain plans to force a vote on his
and Sen. Lieberman's "compromise" gun show bill, S. 890, in the
next couple of weeks -- before the 4th of July recess.
Please call your Senators' state or D.C. office.
President Bush's Department of Homeland Security bill may slow
down S. 890 because it's on the Congressional front burner. Sen.
Lieberman has called hearings on DHS Thursday in his Governmental
Affairs Committee.
The bill creating and funding the new department has triggered
so many turf battles that, despite all the talk about speed and
cooperation, it's unlikely to come to a vote soon.
[b]Since McCain is already claiming his gun show bill would
help control terrorists, he would undoubtedly like to amend the bill
with S. 890, but he wants a vote on his bill now.
So does the "Brady Campaign" and McCain's benefactor Andrew
McKelvey, the "American for Gun Safety" who has been running ads
in Capitol Hill publications touting the gun show bill as
"anti-terrorism" legislation.[/b]
