<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Fighting for gun control has been a staple issue for the Clinton administration, often raising the anger of theNational Rifle Association. But Clinton’s latest foray into the gun issue was designed to satisfy a major NRA request — that the federal government spend more to enforce existing gun laws.
“We’ve been begging for this for three years and I’m tempted to declare it a victory,” Wayne Lapierre, executive vice president of the NRA, told ABCNEWS’ Good Morning America.
“Before I do, this is something the administration has dismissed several years as a cookie-cutter approach to solving crime. While I applaud what they’re doing and they seem to be embracing it, I want to look real hard on this to make sure they really have a change of heart and will make this a way of life.” [/quote]
On other news, the Supreme Court upheld the right to keep guns away from those convicted of domestic violence.
