Democrats accuse Bush of dishonesty in his stated support of gun ban

Yahoo News AFP -- "Today we are sending a letter to the president challenging him to follow through on his promise that he made in the campaign to get the assault weapons ban done," said Senator Chuck Schumer.

The New York senator alleged that the president has voiced support for the bill, knowing that Republicans who control the House of Representatives would never allow the measure [extending the assault gun ban] to reach the floor -- thereby ensuring that it never arrives at his desk for a signature.
