KEEP in mind that both Ketchup boy and Breck girl (both for the ban) will be campaigning on super Tuesday so they will probably miss the vote!
He's a phony "maverick". Every time the vote is close he sides with his leftist pals.
The ban will go on. GWB will not veto. SCOTUS will not overturn.
Folowing that...
I suspect there will be some kind of mild erosion of our rights just to make the liberals feel better. Enough of these mild erosions and there is nothing left.
Agreed. According to Delay, the pro-AWB supporters are no where near close to getting enough votes. Let the Senate pass it. It won't become law just because 50 or so idiots think it should.
(and barring other major problems arising)
Bush will be reelected. Lesser of evils, ya know.
You got that right! I have a bad feeling about this. Our side has allowed themselves to be strong armed on these kinds of things far too many times for me to feel we are in the clear.
We'll see next week.
Although in my experience, it seems like they usually wind up cutting a deal behind the scenes to screw gunowners.
The problem I see is that it is not a single time issue. If (for political reasons in an election year) the ban is not passed this year, it will be passed all or in pieces over the next year while there is plenty of time till the next election for people to cool down and forget about it.
Hard to lose when you get 140% of the vote in Milwaukee.
