Things that make you go Hmmmmm...

[cynicom]

Sometimes one has to wonder if Bush wants to be like his father. Kill a few votes here, a few there and next thing you know, you lose. The Lott affair, open borders, gun affairs, Islam is peace and on and on.

Bush cannot contgrol his own party members for a tax cut but the dems welcome him with open arms for gun control. Way to go, just watch that cliff ahead of you in 04.

Feinstein and Schumer Welcome President Bush's Support of Assault Weapons Ban

The whole Democrat party should welcome Bush's support. It could get a Democrat President for them in 2004. This, along with the open border policy, could easily get Bush unelected. I want a Republican president, not just one elected as a Republican.

You know, a good strategy for the judiciary committee would be to hold the committee vote on the ban to be contigent upon full floor votes for Piclering, Estrada, and Owen.

Schumer has been such a prick that they should vote it down anyway.

Stirring up trouble again I see, Todd.

For the millionth time this will be fought in the House, where the 2nd Amendment actually matters the most, local congressional elctions.

In 99 Schumer and Feinstein passed thru a gun control after Columbine, the House passed a different bill with the help of 45 rural democrats and the Feinstein/Schumer bill died in conference.

The President can fend off demo and media attacks that he is a hostage to the gun lobby in an election year and Congressmen can say they protected the 2nd amendment in the 2004 election.

I know, I know, people will bring up CFR, but CFR is totally different, CFR was a feel good issue that actually blew up in the demo's faces since it turned off their tap of soft money and the latest reports have the Pubbies having a 4 to 1 advantage in fund raising and, IMHO, the most vile part of CFR(ad bans) will be thrown out before the 2004 elections.

You can go on with your chest thumping and simplistic rants Todd.

Say, Mr. President, you're in great company there. /sarcasm

Feinstein and Schumer Welcome President Bush's Support of Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization

The fact that Feinstein and Schumer are welcoming ANYTHING by Bush should tell GW that he is on the wrong side in this issue. The other other problem is - GW took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. The Asssault Weaons Ban is a direct assault on the Constitution.

For all the positives GW has shown since being elected, he is going to alienate many 2nd Amendment defenders as well as strict Constitutional conservatives. I sure hope this isn't the start of a year of pandering to build votes. If so, I won't vote for him next time.

Unfreaking believable !!

[CurlyDave]

Possibly this endorsement will cause our President to re-consider his support for opression of the American People.

[longtermmemmory]

Time to start counting commiittee votes. These senatorial scumbags are trying to lock bush into the ban vote. They believe if they can corner him inot supporting this it will (rightly) cost him votes. They do not care about the ban, they can about the negative consequences.

Who is on the committees that hear this. Can we count on hasert to stop this? Will the senate use this as a bargaining chip on the judge confirmation issue? Democrats will lie over every deal they make, we have to kill this in committee NOW.

Feinstein and Schumer Welcome President Bush's Support of Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization

Awww..

Isn't "bi-partisanship" wonderful?

United we stand

Preserve the right of police officers and other law enforcement officials to use and obtain newly manufactured semi-automatic assault weapons.

This is the part that is so ominous to me. God help us all.

[El Gato]

The current ban is due to expire in September 2004 and in order to continue to keep these weapons off the streets, it is imperative that the reauthorization bill becomes law

It hasn't kept them, "off the street", just out the hands of the law abiding, as we saw in New Orleans this week, assuming that really was a banned version of the AK-47 semi-auto variant, or any kind of AK at all.

[CDHart]

Bush's stance on this issue makes absolutely no sense to me.
