Taking a no compromise position on the gun rights issue can be useful, but I'd love to see these guys bash someone other than the NRA for a change.

I know they don't like the idea, but the NRA has been practical and effective at enhancing gun rights. And beating on them in IMHO just weakens the credibility of the GOA. At the end of the day it seems to me that it's really about getting their hands on a piece of the PAC cash.

Ron Paul voted against it. No one else did.

The will of the people doesn’t seem to matter much these days. Not too many options when that happens.

If the ATF and FBI had more credibility in scrubbing these lists of people that should not be on it, then I would be in favor of legislation like this. I don’t think severely mentally ill people should own guns either. If they cannot be legally held liable for their actions, then they should not own a gun.

However, the ATF, FBI and gun grabbers have shown no credibility in scrubbing these lists. Because of this, I don’t want the federal government to be in charge of deciding who’s crazy and I don’t want them to be in charge of scrubbing these lists.

Because of their intransigence, we also have to be a bulwark on this issue.

One more thing,

While Bush has disappointed in many areas, he has not disappointed in the second amendment area. Let’s hope he would veteo this (though I think he did indicate he might sign it into law)

Do we have enough senators to fillibuster this? Let’s hope so...

Every time the NRA reaches a “deal” with Congress, gun owners get shafted.

[Ancesthntr]

I’d like to know why, every single time a bill related to guns goes through Congress, gun owners get shafted in some way - but it never goes OUR way. For instance, couldn’t some Congressman JUST ONCE insert a provision to repeal Title 18, Section 922(o) into a “must pass” bill? Or maybe something to remove the odious “sporting purposes” clause from the ‘68 GCA, or to go back to $30 Class 1 dealer fees with NO examination of compliance with local zoning ordinances by the ATF, or allowing the DoD to sell components from ALL small arms ammo to the public? Hmmmm, what about that? Why can’t OUR people use legislative tricks and lie like the other SOBs?

On the fast track to hell. I wonder what else is being rammed into human orifices while we are focused on the dismantling of the USA?

[El Gato]

The simple truth is that the FBI and the BATFE think the 83,000 veterans, and many other law-abiding Americans, should be in the NICS system

The simple truth is that the BATFE, and much of the FBI, thinks all Americans, save themselves and the local law, should be in the NICS system, and they aren't too sure about the local law.

This is why I am not a member of the NRA nor will I support them. I am a member of JPFO, GOA and FCSA.

This is also why we need to get the Parker case out of DC into the USSC so that we know where we stand and what action comes next... I’m sick of these corrupt leaches trying to tax me to death and take my rights away.
