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

There, I've corrected it for you. What does Bush have to gain by supported this ban? This is another ridiculous example of screwing those who support him in a vain attempt to appeal to the protest crowd on the street that shout "Bush is Hitler."

snip...Indeed it was claimed by former President Bill Clinton.... Amazing you are quoting x42, since when has this S.O.B. ever told the truth ??

It's probably too early in the morning to try to write a coherent piece, but here goes:

The way I interpert this is that it's our job to be certain that this nonsense never reaches the President's desk.

That means calling your Congressmen and Senators, and very politely, but firmly and inexorably, letting them know that you have zero tolerance for this abomination.

And follow it up with letters. Polite, blunt, preferrably one page with footers & headers so it has a chance of being passed around among their staff.

And keep reminding them- up 'til election day...

...300,000 troops coming home means nothing in national electoral politics as far as their actual votes....

Perhaps not, with their actual votes. But their influence on friends and family may extend well beyond their numbers. Do you remember how close the last election was?

The comments sound just like the Democrats on abortion. Bill Clinton could do anything and everything wrong as long as he was pro-abortion. Conversely Bush can do everything right but will lose his base if he supports any gun restriction. Talk about losing the forrest for the trees! Go ahead and vote for a Dem instead of Bush. They will certainly be pro-gun NOT!

[restornu]

Most likely Jackasses in Elephant bodies:)

[BlackbirdSST]

And then Hillary will executive order a gun registration, followed by incremental bans. Way to go, Mensa militia.

At least billary wouldn't piss down our backs and tell us it's just rain!

"If you give them your vote even when they sell you out, they'll keep selling you out."

This means nothing to you? He won several states on this one issue, states that otherwise would have gone to albore. He will follow in his daddys footsteps. Blackbird.

many gun owners say they'll dump Bush in 2004 and vote for someone else if he signs new legislation extending the prohibition.

And vote Democrat? Give me a break!

[Consort]

Upset people and guns don't mix.

[Drammach]

i don't see the point you were trying to make.

Gee, You took the words right out of my mouth. ;o)

[Timesink]

I think this whole thing was a setup. Someone in the White House either wanted to test the waters, or else was afraid Bush was planning on publicly supporting a continuation of the ban, so he/she leaked the little tidbit that resulted in the single-paragraph blurb buried deep inside the Washington Post. Now that this whole crapstorm has resulted from that one graf, they now know this is political dynamite, and we'll probably never hear another word about it.

[EternalVigilance]

I been hoping that that was the case. Time will tell.

[gulfcoast6]

Thanks, I am with you on this one. Sheesh, narrow minded if you ask me.

[nygoose]

It's beginning to look like the powers that be have started the end game on the elimination of the Second Amendment.

[The Wizard]

Gun owners aren't that dumb, they know what a democrat would mean...

[The Wizard]

This tells you why this article is BS:

passed during the Clinton administration

[ATCNavyRetiree]

Yeah, shoot yourselves in the foot, gun owners!
"President Sharpton" would be a lot nicer to ya!

[Uncle Bill]

"The president supports the current law, and he supports reauthorization of the current law," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said."

Frist no friend of gun owners - Candidate for Senate leader has history of anti-firearms support
"I think Bill has a kind of a more moderate record and a more moderate approach toward things, and I think that it's going to be very difficult to criticize him."

"Neither the NRA nor any special interest sets the governor's agenda," said Bush spokesman Scott McClellan. "Governor Bush sets his agenda based on his priorities and principles."
