Cheney tells inside story of how he bucked administration on 2nd Amendment :: 08/30/2011

Former Vice President Dick Cheney's autobiographical book offers new information about a rare instance of Cheney breaking with his own administration's official policy on a Second Amendment appeals court ruling, angering a top aide to then-President George W. Bush.

A source provided The Daily Caller with the passage in Cheney's soon-to-be released book, "In My Time," where the former vice president reveals that he and Bush never spoke about his bucking of the administration over the issue - an appeals court ruling that the District of Columbia's handgun ban is unconstitutional.

"The president never said a word to me about it," Cheney wrote.
