Bush Keeps Saddam’s Pistol At White House

HeadlineJun 01, 2004

And Time magazine reports President Bush has a new item in the White House to show off to visitors — Saddam Hussein’s former handgun that was captured along with the Iraqi president last December. Time reports Bush displays the gun to select visitors. One visitor told Time “He really liked showing it off. He was really proud of it.” But questions have arisen on the web that Bush may be violating D.C. and federal laws regulating firearms including D.C.’s ban on handguns and restrictions on possessing a firearm in a federal facility.
