I too am NRA,probably longer than you. What you don't seem to understand is that this AWB is a line in the sand for many of us that believe in the 2nd. You seem to think that If Bush fell in Nov. that the end of the world would be at hand.(maybe if a rat won, it would) Well for many of us, if Bush signs a AWB than the end of the world is here before a rat takes over. For too many decades we have been giving up a little here and a little there. The NRA has never been the champion of the 2nd it proports to be. Too many restrictions and laws just slip on by and all we do is cry. NO MORE!!! If Bush signs an AWB then he is worse than a demorcrat, he is a hypocrit.(sp intentional)

I cannot understand a strategy which is designed to fail. Gun owners and those who support the RtKaBA who employ the "defeat Bush to show THEM a lesson" strategy are apparently oblivious to the clear FACT that doing so will make things far worse in every area they are concerned with.

Look at states like California, NY, Il. where the gungrabbes are in full sway, how are the citizens there better off for not electing politicians who are not TOTALLY in agreement with the 2d amendment fans' beliefs but rather those who are TOTALLY against those beliefs? Yet, you are arguing that we will be better off if this happens on the federal level? This does not compute.
