On the recordOctober 13, 1997
There is one quarter from which there has been no pressure--ours. I have gone out of my way to have no conversation with her--about this or, frankly, anything else, which I'm not sure is so good, except I saw her at the event the other day, that we did the other day, that we did for the police officers, where we announced the trigger locks on handguns. I think the Republican attacks on her have been completely unwarranted. It's interesting--it would be hard to make a case that she was reluctant to follow this law. There are facts, there are standards, there are all kinds of procedures set out about how this law is supposed to operate. And she ought to be left alone to implement it.
