Cox: During debate on the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act," the Senate passed an amendment by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to extend Bill Clinton`s 1994 gun ban for another 10 years. Back in 1996, you were one of 239 House members who voted to repeal the ban. Why did you believe the law should be repealed then, and has anything during the past 10 years happened to change your opinion?

Rep. DeLay: I am and have been against the gun ban, because I believe it violates the Second Amendment, and nothing in the last 10 years has changed that. The Second Amendment states that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed," and I don`t see enough support in the House to ensure passage of something that would so blatantly infringe on this individual right.

Here's the link.

I believe the matter will be resolved with Rep. DeLay.

Yes, Mr. DeLay is one good man to have standing in our camp.

You ever notice that the politicians who are the most upstanding and honorable, thereby having the least to fear from uppity peasants, are the ones who don't mind us peons having guns? And how the polticos with the totalitarian/Marxist leanings are the ones who want us stripped of our ability to defend ourselves and our families?

No coincidence there.
