You better tell Bush to wake up and smell the powder.

Indeed it was claimed by former President Bill Clinton that the lobbying efforts of the NRA and other pro-gun groups were directly responsible for the Democratic loss of the House of Representatives in the 2000 election and partially responsible for Al Gore's loss of the Presidency to George W. Bush.

In an interview with CBS News on December 18th 2001, "You've got to give it to them, they've done a good job. They've probably had more to do than anyone else in the fact that we didn't win the house this time. And they hurt Al Gore."

USA Today quipped, "Guns played a key role in Gore's loss of Arkansas, Tennessee, and West Virginia, any one of which could have delivered him the presidency."

And then Hillary will executive order a gun registration, followed by incremental bans.

Way to go, Mensa militia.

Wonderful choices we have here: heads, increasing government intrusion and gun control, tails, increasing government intrusion and gun control.

Very patriotic of them and they have a duty to continue to keep the Democrats out of power for the sake of all of us and our children. Vote straight GOP ticket. Case closed. No more BS. Next thread.

Don't look at this as an issue. Consider this life and death. I can tell you most informed gun owners do that love, respect and adhere to the Constitution.

...how will conservatives ever hold on to power if everyone abandons our president based on our respective "one special issue"s?...

Direct that one to the President.

He's the one doing the abandoning; in this case, of the gunowners, who put him into the White House. Does he hope to pick up more votes, from the middle? It didn't work, for his father.

"Wonderful choices we have here: heads, increasing government intrusion and gun control, tails, increasing government intrusion and gun control."

Isn't it the truth. Maybe Bill Clinton's mentor was right.

"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.... [E]ither party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same policies".[1]

Right.

There's the President's debt, right there. All he has to do is pay it back and the gunowners will do a 'good job' next time, too.

We will have some 300,000 marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen coming home before 2004.
They will have a new perspective concerning freedom and guns.

I don't think many of them will appreciate any anti-gun measures.
A voting block that large cannot be ignored by Bush or any other candidate.
I am assuming for now that if push comes to shove, Bush will do the right thing and refuse to sign an extension to the AW ban.

I could be wrong, but he's done the right thing concerning Terrorists, Afghanistan and Iraq. (so far)

I too, consider this a "life and death" issue.
I will not vote for Bush if he fails us and all gun owners.

if he signs new legislation extending the prohibition.

Key

All the hype is pointless at this point - conact your congressman and this will never get to the POTUS desk.

"This is hopelessly silly, how will conservatives ever hold on to power if everyone abandons our president based on our respective "one special issue"s?"

That one special issue happens to be Freedom. CFR and now this, both are unconstitutional limits signed into law. We're also a Homeland now. Is that why the Constitution doesn't count anymore? What happened to the US? How soon before I need a govm't training program on how to wipe my butt properly?

" Besides, im sure there are alot of other gun laws that Bush is against which Kerrey would pass."

That's right let's all get along, so the boogy man don't come. Follow the leader boys and girls. Here's are new flag. The flag of the homeland.

Do you think if we just let him do whatever he wants w/o complaining he'll let us go for another 3, or 4 years before he lets 'em toss in a junk food tax? That would be great!
