The real irony is that Saddam Hussein allowed his people to be armed. Who is the REAL tyrant?

I'm counting on Bush to veto this thing (if it passes). If he doesn't I want one of the die-hard Bush supporters that frequent this site to explain why.

Don't hold your breath. During the campaign he said he would sign a renewal of the AWB, and since then his spokesmen have said that is still his position. This must be killed in the House, but my fear is that it, or the "not so bad" version, will be attached to some "must pass" legislation at O Dark Thirty, and will pass by acclimation of the 10 Congressmen and 3 Senators present.

Tyrants, like American anti-gun politicians, Saddam, and King George, only accept weapons in the hands of their own well-drilled and obedient thugs.
