"I would also point out that several items from your list of concerns are taken out of context"

Please show us how the following statement by Michael Steele could be taken out of context.

"Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that" --Michael Steele

Regardless of whatever else he could have said, that statement is very clear. It's all over the Second Amendment discussion boards. Even if he contradicts such a statement from now on, pro-Second-Amendment voters (probably most of the voters in the Republican Party) aren't going to believe him. He's a politician. And the slicker the politician, the less voters will trust him.

I believe that someone else on the thread already addressed this.
