...President Clinton offered no regrets Monday to some 20,000 would-be assault weapon owners -- whose imported guns will remain tantalizingly out of reach as a result of today's executive order. And that, says the President, is just as it should be. "You don't need an Uzi to go deer hunting," he told a Rose Garden audience of crime-fighting officials.
