Bush's Texas version of the idea. Gore was expanding his proposals on gun control, a hot election-year issue in California. In a speech here, he announced support for legislation banning firearms in churches, synagogues and mosques, as well as places where school events are held. "I don't think we ought to have guns brought into places of worship," Gore said at a fund-raiser this afternoon, previewing his announcement. "It is time to take further steps to deal with the flood of cheap, available handguns . . . and get these guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them." Gore, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, noted that Bush signed a law in 1995 that allows Texans to carry concealed weapons with a permit. While that law banned guns from churches and synagogues, in 1997 Bush signed another law that said houses of worship would have to post signs or hand out cards alerting visitors if the gun rule was to be enforced. Gore contended that Bush is under the control of the National Rifle Association, pointing to a law Bush signed that prohibits Texas cities and counties from suing gunmakers. "He has passed virtually everything that the NRA has asked him to pass," Gore said. Gore said he has always believed in the right of hunters to carry weapons. "But America cannot afford another Columbine, or another Paducah, or another Jonesboro," he said. The Bush camp responded that Gore is using the issue for political advantage and that Tennessee passed a law in 1994 allowing residents to carry guns, including into churches. "Why didn't he speak out when a concealed-carry law was passed in his home state of Tennessee, where residents can also carry guns in churches?" Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer said. Also today, Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) said they will introduce a nonbinding resolution stating that guns do not belong in schools and places of worship. They said it is now legal in at least 22 states for people to carry concealed weapons in churches, synagogues and mosques. � 2000 The Washington Post Company ===================================================== "Democracy: two cannibals and one missionary voting on what's for dinner." http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5285/connector1.html Reality Pump: http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/Reality_Pump2 ================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whatever you want, chances are you'll find it at one of the hundreds of sites in The PointClick Network--like Disney.com, eCost.com, FogDog.com and many more.
