Why not? President Bush supported both universal background checks and renewal of the original assault weapons ban; he was prepared to sign the latter if Congress had passed it. See this recent
article, and
this one from 2004.
If you look at the current version of those rules (
available on the ATF website), you'll find that the 24-hour limit for retention of background check information is still in place.
