I don't remember the exact details, but I think the Republicans did not have enough votes to prevent passage and the bill was being filibustered. In order to get a deal on a budget bill that was being proposed at that time, Dole agreed to end the filibuster and as a DIRECT result of his action, the Brady Bill was passed into law. I'm sure if my account is incorrect, someone could provide you with the exact account of how you candidate compromised away another little bit of our freedom in exchange for a budget deal he could claim credit for later. -Dave http://www.city-net.com/~davekle/ No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. - Thomas Jefferson, June 1776
