We don't have a clear majority yet. We have the dems voting to disarm the American People and we have a few, and I repeat, a very few Republicans who are anti-gun. Check the CCW debates if you don't believe me. That means we don't have a clear majority of Pro-gun legislators.

Bush said it before the election when there was a point when if he didn't, he might not have been elected. The Republicans are doing what they can to sunset it. Just like they're trying to do with the CCW laws.

The people who say they won't vote for Bush if he signs the bill probably never voted for him in the first place. They couldn't have been that active for their Second Amendment Rights or they would have known what he said and when he said it.

If anyone wants to threaten the Republicans now while the AWB is being discussed, be my guest. Let's hold their feet to the fire but if Bush is forced to sign it because the gun owners were too lazy to send a postcard, we still have to vote for him. He's still the lesser of two evils.

All in favor of holding Republicans feet to the fire, and voting their way if it sunsets. Barring that I don't know if I'll fall for that lessor of two evils argument again. Yes I did vote for Bush, and the Republican Senate majority, and actively support 2A defense.

My social contract with the state was based on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Will peaceably work, pay taxes, and vote, and long as those are secured. But if we can't change the direction where we are marching, only slow its pace, by voting Republican, then speed it up instead so we deal the trainwreck it in our generation rather than pass it along to our children.

Prescriptions for the old, capitulation to a RINO's election reform, steel tariffs, WH support for RINOs in Senate and Governor races, immigration amnesty, and failure to break filibusters to simply vote for judicial candidates. And now such defeatism over the sunsetting of the AWB. Wininng is starting to feel exactly like losing.

What about Congress resuming funding of the ATF to process prior felon redress before they cut it off in 92. (whoops felons don't vote usually so what's in it for pragmatism)

I know where everybody but the NRA is on this.

It is funny isn't it, that the media describes the NRA as extremists.

I give to all of em.

It's only a miracle we have survived all the anti-gun crap since the 68 act without having Federal registration although we do in essence now have a Federal database courtesy of the Brady Bill (yes I know it was not intended that way but even Ashcroft ordering local Barneys to purge is fruitless).

Bunch of crap, I hate this bastards.

I voted for GWB, knowing full well what he said - that he was "in favor of the current law" or words to that effect. I took it to mean that he was in favor of ALL of the then-current law, including the part about it expiring on 9/13/04. Certain noises from his administration have convinced me that if a renewal of the AWB shows up on GWB's desk, he'll sign it. So let ME make myself very clear:

If I wake up on 9/14/2004 and I am not able to purchase everything gun-related that I could buy prior to 9/13/1994 without worrying about some member of the BATFE arresting me or worse, then I will NOT be voting for President Bush less than 2 months later, as I did in November 2000. PERIOD!!!!

I voted for Bush, but if the AWB is renewed any way other than over his veto, I WILL NOT vote for him again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
