we sure do have our job cut out for us......
DEMOCRATS SAY "JUMP", REPUBLICANS ASK "HOW HIGH?"
http://www.conservativeusa.org/vote-rec99.htm JOHN ASHCROFT LEADS EFFORT TO CRIMINALIZE POSSESSION OF GUNS AND AMMO
"In another sign of Republican distress over the gun issue, GOP leaders broadened an earlier proposal banning possession of semi-automatic assault weapons by juveniles to include high-capacity ammunition clips, as proposed initially by Democrats. The proposal, offered by Sen. John D. Ashcroft (R-Mo.), was approved 96 to 2."
Reuters pointed out that "By a 96-2 vote, the Senate closed a loophole in a law that bans anyone under age 18 from buying a handgun. They extended that prohibition to youth purchases of semi-automatic assault weapons like Uzis or AK-47s. Two Republicans, Bob Smith of New Hampshire and Mike Enzi of Wyoming, voted no on the amendment by Missouri Republican John Ashcroft.
"They also accepted a Democratic ban on importing all high-capacity ammunition clips. Those clips, which let people fire scores of bullets without stopping to reload, cannot now be manufactured in the United States but are still imported. ..."
Yeah, conservatives have been totally duped.
Get a little and lose the rest.
If the Republican Party can't put forward candidates that will defend the Constitution, I'm done holding my nose to vote for whichever candidate simply has a GOP brand.
Unlike Britain and Australia, our rights will be defended at a time and place of our choosing by the true patriots left in this nation, of which there are millions.
