George Bush actually said...

"H.R. 4225 is objectionable because it would restrict domestically manufactured weapons, and other firearms appropriate for self-defense by applying a 'sporting purpose' test."

"H.R. 2709 would not only ban the importation of magazines and belts in excess of 15 rounds, but also their manufacture, transfer, or sale for use by private citizens."

"The bottom line is really this: I will not sign a crime bill that handcuffs the police."

"The quotas set by the bill would cause harm to consumers and the economy."
