Republican Bob Dole made his chances of becoming the president of our  nation minimal by not making a statement "pro" or "con" on this issue. If  he stood up against repealing the weapons ban, he would have gained a  tremendous backing from the voters. But, speaking for myself, I don't believe  now that he has what it will take to defeat Bill Clinton in November,  especially if the repeal goes through and is then vetoed by the president. I  am praying for a "dark horse" (not Ross Perot) who will come to lead our  nation and give it back to the people, not lobbyists.
