"This is an historic day for freedom. I would like to thank President Bush for signing the most significant piece of pro-gun legislation in twenty years into law.

But he's not conservative because he picked Harriet Miers, remember...(/stupidity)

[ekwd]

And Miers is an incompetent (closet liberal) crony. How could it have happened that these "non-conservatives" did such a thing? (More sarcasm)

[elbucko]

It's a good thing. It is to Congress and Bush's credit that it has been passed and signed.

[Sir Gawain]

Notice how JBT's are exempt from those provisions laid out for the peons. {spit}

[jmc813]

Three Cheers for President Bush and his pistol-packing SCOTUS Nominee, Harriet Miers.

What in the world did Miers have to do with this? Also, it's great that Bush signed the bill, but considering that he's never vetoed anything, I'll save my 3 cheers for the NRA and the groups that worked to make this a reality.

Are you even happy when you wake up in the morning?

[TigersEye]

So they snuck through some of that APA crap. Wonderful.

At least manufacturers have been protected from stupid lawsuits. Apparently that's the best we can get in this day and age; laws that protect us from judges that don't have common sense or have agendas.

Trigger locks and the implied mandatory use of them made it in to the best of my knownledge. When a firearm, needed for home defense, must have a trigger lock on it home defence is severly compromised.

I believe trigger locks are only required in the transfer of a gun to a person without a firearms permit, but I'm not sure.

Sieg Heil with a Smile!

Goodbye Runaway Jury!!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

The anti's will never quit, I guess we shouldn't either. Like so many things, it won't be solved in my lifetime.

[TigersEye]

Yep, the manufacturers are protected. Without a doubt that's good.

Hello to the push for ammo bans...

(1) STUDY- The Attorney General shall conduct a study to determine whether a uniform standard for the testing of projectiles against Body Armor is feasible.

(2) ISSUES TO BE STUDIED- The study conducted under paragraph (1) shall include--

(A) variations in performance that are related to the length of the barrel of the handgun or center-fire rifle from which the projectile is fired; and

(B) the amount of powder used to propel the projectile.

woohoo!

I can hear the wailing and gnashing of the Brady Bunch from here!!

[TC Rider]

He didn't sign that for gun owners, he did it for the gun industry. He knows where the big Republican campaign money comes from. Corporate America! Remember, this is the man who said he WOULD sign the AWB if it crossed his desk. Fortunately for us, we had guys like Tom DeLay who kept it from crossing his desk!!

Somehow I suspect the amount donated by the manufacturers is a drop in the bucket compared to that given by individual shooters.

To credit the manufacturers plays into the hands of the anti-gunners.

At the end of the day, the AWB is gone, and the commerce protection act is law, why quibble?

[going hot]

only if you feel it necc to place a trigger lock on your firearm as it lays on the nightstand next to you each night. ;-)

85% good news. The down side is the trigger lock thing which I figure we can attack at a later date. Thank you Republicans!

[Dan from Michigan]

Kudo's to President Bush. It's not perfect, but it's an improvement.

[MikefromOhio]

85% good news. The down side is the trigger lock thing which I figure we can attack at a later date. Thank you Republicans!

the Libs have shown that incremental successes can add up too over the past 60 years or so. One thing at a time I guess....

[blackie]

The fight has just begun!
